Tins - 4oz Customer Reviews

Love the colors on these - I got the red ones and the blue ones, and they do a pretty good job of matching my scarlet and peacock Fiestaware! I do wish there was a better way to label the teas inside. I cut the printed labels off the bags and taped them to the container, but there has got to be a prettier/better way. One of my bags had a label on it that I peeled off and stuck to the tin, and I preferred that. Even a blank white area that I could use a dry or wet erase marker on to label tea name and brewing instructions would be great.

Really really excited for these to come. I was running out of cabinet room!

I think these tins are great. The only issues I have are:
1) They're expensive
2) They don't hold some of the larger leaf teas well
3) They don't stack quite as well as I wish they would

That being said, I own about 20 of them, so that should tell you something.

Wonderful. They really make me feel more orderly with my teas, and they keep my tea really fresh and flavorful.

Best storage for tea you can get! Airtight and protected from UV light as well as the perfect size for the blend lables

These tins are absolutely perfect! They store my tea and stack nicely in my cabinet and they are priced quite reasonably.

Neat little tins to keep your tea fresh! I would have liked a set of different colors.

I bought two of these little tins in blue at an Adagio store in Chicago and I love them both. They hold a 3oz bag of the peach oolong easily, seal very well and stack, well...that could use some work. I've had them fall over when I've barely touched them, though thankfully not from any great height. My only concern would be that the plastic of the lids or the gasket along the edge might absorb the smell of a stronger tea and make it unable to be used for anything else. But then, I always worry about something like that since I've had bad experiences with plastic and strong teas. Lol.

They sufficiently get the job done of holding my tea. The clear windows at the top are a nice touch.

I became an Adagio customer some time after the pouches came into use, so I can't really whine about how these tins used to be free. Enjoy the refreshing break this review provides.

I love these tins. I have 6 of them in Sky, and they look lovely on my table (as seen in my userpic) and keep my tea fresh and happy.

Fluffier teas will take up more space, like my 1.5 oz. of Foxtrot completely filled the tin. My 3 oz. of Rooibos Vanilla Chai has plenty of room to breathe. So keep that in mind.

ETA: I had a box of cute labels in my stationery collection. I wrote the tea name, steeping time and temp on them and slapped them on the back of the tin, with tape over the top so they stayed put. No one died as a result of this effort on my part. Pretty easy thing to do.

These are great tins. They are compact and sturdy. I just wish the canisters were more regularly in stock.

These tins are great. Strong, and well made. The only suggestion I would make, would be to have a space where you could write the steeping times/temperatures associated with the particular tea they hold. But I digress, these tins are awesome.

Great place to keep my teas If I don't want them to stay in their bags but they could stand to be a bit more stackable for those with limited counter/cabinet space.

A much better option than the bags since they take up less space. Love the color options as well!

They look good, and get the job done. They can stack, but I like to leave them flat so that I can see all of the teas from the top, love the clear tops!

I love these so much! I have been waiting forever for them to come back in stock, and I'm so glad they did. they are easy to stack, easily labeled, and best of all - you can actually see your tea. tea tins from other sites just don't compare. still, I wish these were just included in your purchase, but regardless, they're good and I'm willing to pay for quality.

An excellent size considering I buy a lot of my tea 3-4oz at a time. They also look fantastic and I love how they stack, perfect for space saving!

These are great little tins. They're sturdy, well priced, and aesthetically pleasing. The only real issue I have is that their 4oz capacity is not always true-- I tried putting 3oz of the Green Needle in here and found that not all of it fit.
Also the fact that these are NEVER in stock is problematic.

These are perfect! Good size, easy to clean, won't clutter up the kitchen and my tea is easy access.

They keep your tea fresh and awesome. I just with all of my bags came with tags that were stickers so I could just use those to label instead of some painter's tape.

Nice tins, easy to clean, and at a very good price!

These tins are absolutely fabulous. They are adorable, they seal well, and you can see your beautiful tea. Also, I quite like the shorter, squat design versus the taller design of most other tea tins. The squat design makes it easy for the tins to stack up while also making it easier to scoop up a teaspoon of tea. They are positively wonderful little tins, I only wish that more colors were available right now.

These tins are great. Such a convenient size and the covers are awesome. I like to peel the labels off the tea I order and stick it to the side. That way, I know which tea to grab and I also have a view of the fandom artwork :]

I currently have them in red (barn) and ordered more in blue (sky)... the grasshopper and daffodil look cute too but there were none available :[ I hope they become available soon!

Very cute! They stack okay and hold my tea nicely. Though as others have said, labels would be nice.

I love these tins. They make it easy to store the tea and stack on the counter.

A little more expensive than I would have absolutely loved, but they look fantastic, really help organize my tea collection, and seem pretty air tight. Would buy more to store all my staple tea selections.

Nice sized tins. They aren't flimsy. They keep the bulk of unwanted air/moisture away from the tea, and they fit together nicely if you want to stack them (I wouldn't stack more than 3 at a time). The price may be a tad steep for their size, but it isn't a bad investment if you want to protect your tea from air/moisture/UV rays.

There is a space for writing the name of the tea on the canister, but I prefer to cut off the description from the bag it comes in and tape it to the canister. Whatever floats your boat!

These are a lot less sturdy than I thought they would be, and I can see why they would be free with orders. They are not high quality, and price is a little steep for what you get. They look good though. Would be a perk if they came with orders. Not at a price increase tho.

They're nice to look at, they display tea beautifully, and they seem pretty durable. I wasn't an Adagio customer back in the days when you got tins free with your order, so I can't complain about it. Price is more than fair for what you get. Now I just need more.

Very nice tins and they are air tight which will keep your tea fresh! Good deal.

I love these! They're the perfect size for my Tea of the Month Club, and the 'sky' color is just so pretty!
I see that the tea use to come in these tins instead of a bag (before my day)... and I have to say, I agree with Adagio's decision to move to the bags. It's cheaper on their part and I know that I would have WAY too many tins then tea in my house. It's just as easy to peel the label off and stick it on the tin. it's worked just fine for me.
Looking forward for when the grasshopper and daffodil to be back in stock!

wonderful little tins, I just don't enjoy paying extra for them.

The tins work very well, and I enjoy the fact that we get to write the type of tea on them ourselves!

Tins are good quality, they keep the tea fresh and look good. I like the clear lids so you can see the tea inside. They stack well and don't take up too much space in my cabinet.

Airtight, perfect size, and ideal to peel off the sticker logo off your pouch of tea and attach right on to this tin to label it.

UPDATE
Unfortunately, as great as these tins are, they'll retain the odor of the last tea used. Even after a good soak in vinegar, lemon juice, and even soap I can't get rid of the odor. Other than that, they're a great storage option for your favorite tea, assuming you dedicate its use only for only that tea.

Very nice tins. I really like the shape, look, and feel. While they are stackable, they aren't very stable and lightly pushing three or more can easily topple the stack.

Initially checked a bulk site for tea tins, but after shipping, theirs cost as much as these and weren't exactly what I wanted in a tea tin anyway. Ended up buying two sets of the blue ones to store my fandom blends in. They're the perfect size, the labels fit on them, stackable, and I love being able to actually see the tea inside.

Perfect way to store loose tea. Surprised how neatly tight they seal.

These are the perfect size for the 3 ounce fandom blends. I love the blue, it looks pretty in my kitchen. I hope they get the other colors back so I can order more.

Perfect size for some of the teas I have in smaller quantities, and also for great for the teas I have a lot of--I can keep most of it safe in the bag, and use these to keep a small amount for easy access. They feel solidly built, I love the clear tops, and the colors are nice.

I absolutely love my tins and they come in my favorite color too - Red!

Just got these today, and so far I love them. So much more convenient then the bag, and they look nice too.

I got the red ones and so far I am loving seeing them in my 'tea cupboard'.

Exactly what I wanted in a set of tins. UV blocking see-through lid. Keeps the tea airtight and fresh.

They're nice to have to store tea and are aesthetically pleasing. They're also semi-stackable. However, when I washed them upon arrival, the metal on one or two of the tins rusted. lso, could be constructed better with a better air-tight seal.

When company comes over for tea, they are impressed by the classiness and organization of the tins. Much better than scooping tea out of a bag.

These are super cute! The close easily and hold a good amount of tea.

The tins are great for storing tea, quite a bit more convenient than the bags. However, the plastic latch on the lid is brittle. I've broke on off by just closing and latching the lid.

Love these tins! They are the perfect size for my needs and seem to seal pretty well.

I purchased these tins to hold a few teas that I plan to keep in regular rotation. I don't have a problem with keeping my tea in a resealable bag, but getting it out of a bag is somewhat cumbersome compared to dipping into a tin. The price on this trio is definitely right and the 3 oz packages I emptied into them fit perfectly. I do wish there was a better way to label these. for now I'll have to settle for a crude system of sticky note tabs, my awful handwriting, and some tape.
