FLYIEE Acacia Wood Tea Bag Organizer

Most reviewers report that the drawer slides smoothly and easily — it's one of the frequently praised features. However, there are two things to be aware of. First, there's no drawer stop mechanism, which means the drawer can pull completely out if you're not careful. You just need to get a feel for how far to pull. Second, a few buyers have experienced slight wobbling or sticking in the drawer due to uneven construction, though this seems to be a minority experience. In humid environments, wood can swell slightly and make the drawer tighter over time.

Yes, the organizer comes with removable dividers that create 8 separate compartments. You can pull out dividers to create fewer, larger sections if you need more room for a particular tea variety or want to store something other than standard tea bags — like small tins of loose leaf, sweetener packets, or tea accessories. This flexibility is one of the nice design touches that lets you customize the layout to match how you actually drink tea.

Yes, and this is actually one of the features buyers love most about it. The flat top has a raised lip around the edges that creates a natural tray surface. People use it for their electric kettle, honey jar, sugar bowl, teacups, or even a small plant. It's sturdy enough to handle the weight of a kettle without any concern. One helpful tip from reviewers: lay down a small placemat or paper towel on top to prevent items from sliding around and to protect the wood finish from water rings or scratches.

This is a common complaint — a few reviewers note that when you pull the drawer open, the whole box can slide on smooth countertops because there are no rubber feet on the bottom. The fix is easy though: just add adhesive rubber bumper pads to the bottom corners, which you can pick up for a couple dollars. Some buyers also place the organizer on a small mat or shelf liner. Once you solve the sliding issue, the drawer works great.

Most buyers set this up as a dedicated tea station on their countertop. The drawer holds your tea bag collection organized by type across 8 compartments, and the flat top with its raised lip becomes a display surface for your electric kettle, honey bear, sugar bowl, or a favorite mug. It essentially turns a random corner of your kitchen into a purposeful, attractive tea corner. One tip from reviewers: place a small placemat or paper towel on the top surface to prevent items from sliding and to protect the wood finish. The organizer is heavy and sturdy enough that it stays put, though a few people recommend adding rubber feet to the bottom since the drawer can cause the whole box to slide on smooth countertops.

It's ideal for someone who drinks a variety of teas and wants to keep their countertop tidy. If you've got 4-5 different boxes of tea cluttering up a cabinet or counter, this consolidates everything into one attractive, accessible spot. It works great for tea beginners who want an easy way to browse their collection, and equally well for enthusiasts who appreciate the acacia wood aesthetic and want to build a curated tea station. It's not the best choice if you primarily buy oversized warehouse store tea bags, need airtight storage for loose leaf, or have a very humid kitchen where wood might swell.

For tea bag storage specifically, a drawer-style organizer like this FLYIEE box has a real advantage over lift-top boxes — you can see and grab any tea bag without digging around or unstacking things. The acacia wood construction is sturdy and looks attractive on a countertop, which matters since it'll be out in the open. That said, wood organizers aren't airtight, so they're best for tea bags you cycle through regularly rather than long-term storage. If you're in a humid climate, keep in mind that wood can swell slightly and cause the drawer to stick. For standard individually wrapped tea bags that you drink within a few weeks, though, it's a great option.

You can store unwrapped tea bags in the FLYIEE organizer's compartments, but since it's not airtight, they'll lose freshness faster than in a sealed container. A practical workaround is to keep unwrapped tea bags in small resealable bags or silicone pouches and then organize those pouches in the compartments. This gives you the visual organization and easy access of the drawer system while still protecting the tea. If you mostly drink individually wrapped tea bags from brands like Twinings, Bigelow, or Tazo, they'll sit perfectly in the slots without any extra protection needed.

At least one reviewer mentions a strong varnish smell when first unboxing it. This isn't unusual for finished wood products. If you notice it, just leave the drawer open and let it air out for a day or two before loading it with tea. Since individually wrapped tea bags are sealed in their own packets, the smell shouldn't transfer to your tea even if you start using it right away — but airing it out first is a good practice.

This organizer is primarily designed for tea bags, but reviewers have noted that if you remove some of the dividers, you could store small tins or containers of loose leaf tea in the drawer. You wouldn't want to put loose leaf directly into the wooden compartments since there's no seal and tea would shift around. The better approach is to keep your loose leaf in small labeled tins or jars and use the organizer to corral them in one place. The flat top is also handy for keeping your infuser, measuring spoon, or a small teapot within reach.
