This canister is well made and looks great on the counter top. My husband appreciated the fact that it is airtight and will keep his teas fresh. great choice!
I have ordered quite a few of these Tea Tins not only for the beauty of the artwork but for the functionality. This high quality tin keeps my loose-leaf tea fresh & dry. I highly recommend!
