Description

This octagonal metal tea caddy carries a bright print in the spirit of old tea packaging. A golden elephant walks beneath a curling Ceylon Finest banner, with tall palm trees and a low yellow sun set against a warm red ground. A deep navy band runs around the base, printed with the words Tea Blend, Since 1850 Rahuna Sri Lanka and Loose Leaf Tea, while the shoulders and the round lid are a soft gold. It is made from tinplate and measures 10.4cm across each way and 10.4cm tall, a compact size that sits happily beside the kettle without crowding the worktop.

We think it looks its best out on show, on a kitchen worktop, an open shelf or a dresser, where the red and gold catch the eye each time you reach for a brew. As a tea caddy it suits loose leaves or tea bags, and the octagonal shape gives it a pleasing, old-fashioned look next to plain jars and canisters. If you enjoy a pot brewed the slow way, with a strainer over the cup, it brings a little of the old grocer's shop to the morning routine. It also works well in a pantry or cupboard, keeping your favourite blend together in one tidy place.

Inside, an inner sealing lid with a small knob sits beneath the outer lid. It helps protect the contents and keep them fresh between pots. To open the caddy, lift the outer lid away and then the inner one. At 147g it is light to lift down from a shelf. It is hand wash only and not dishwasher safe, so wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it thoroughly to keep the tinplate at its best. Fill it with a loose leaf blend and tie a ribbon around it for a cheerful present, or give it pride of place on the kitchen shelf.
