Review on ☕️ Oceanstar - TB1323 Bamboo Tea Box: Organize and Display Your Tea Collection in Natural 12-Inch Box by Christine Turner

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Doesn't include but with workarounds, does what you need at a great price.

A tea box should do 3 things: hold tea, open and close. It holds the tea and the lid opens so you can reach the tea when you need it. However, if you use the box like most people do, the lid won't close. The frame around the glass is so wide that it restricts the openings intended for tea and does not leave enough depth for the height of the tea bags. The lid lands on the tea bags and doesn't close completely. The workaround means that you can only fill 2 of the 8 sections completely, and for the 4 at the ends (2 each on the right and left sides) you not only have to leave the section partially empty, but also turn the tee over. Pockets are 90 degrees from normal storage, which is annoying. The photos show what I mean. If it had been a more expensive item I would have given it a star or two for this issue, but being so cheap I was more lenient. Some people might not mind the fancy way of using it if it means saving you some decent money compared to more expensive options, but if quality is paramount to you, this isn't your box of tea. I probably won't replace it until it breaks or I move, but if I were to buy it again I would get something different.

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Can be added
