Bekith Large Glass Food Storage Jar with Wooden Lid

This jar is ideal for tea drinkers who value aesthetics and go through their tea regularly. If you buy loose leaf in bulk, want an attractive display piece, and don't need a laboratory-grade airtight seal, it's a great fit. Beginners will appreciate the simple, wide-mouth design that makes filling and accessing tea easy. Enthusiasts will like the large capacity for bulk storage and the premium look the wooden lid adds to a tea station. It's less ideal if you need to store small amounts of delicate tea for months at a time, or if you have limited counter space — at 3000ml, it's a big jar.

At 3000ml (100 fl oz), this jar holds a lot of loose leaf tea. Since loose leaf tea is lightweight and varies in density, you could fit anywhere from roughly 300-500 grams of tea depending on the type — fluffy white teas take up more space, while tightly rolled oolongs pack in more densely. Reviewers mention it holds multiple bags of dry goods easily, so you could consolidate several packages of tea into one attractive jar. It's especially well-suited if you buy tea in bulk.

Absolutely — and reviewers get creative with it. Beyond tea and typical pantry staples like flour, sugar, oatmeal, and pasta, people use it for dog treat storage on the counter, holding Nespresso pods, and even as a terrarium or aquatic plant display. One reviewer even customized theirs with vinyl logos. The wide mouth and clear glass make it versatile for anything you want to store attractively. If it doesn't work out for tea, you'll find a use for it.

When choosing a tea storage container, consider capacity, seal quality, material, and how you'll use it. The Bekith jar checks a lot of boxes: the 3000ml capacity is generous for bulk loose leaf storage, the glass is BPA-free and won't leach flavors, and reviewers praise its sturdy construction. One honest thing to consider — multiple reviewers note the lid seal is decent but not perfectly airtight, so this jar is better for tea you rotate through regularly rather than long-term archival storage. If aesthetics and easy access matter more to you than a laboratory-grade seal, this is an excellent pick.

For loose leaf tea, you want something airtight, opaque or at least away from direct sunlight, and large enough to hold a good quantity. The Bekith glass jar works well for displaying and storing loose leaf tea — its 100 oz capacity can hold a serious amount, and the wide mouth makes scooping easy. That said, glass does let light through, so if you're storing delicate teas long-term, you'll want to keep it in a cupboard or pantry rather than a sunny countertop. Reviewers love how it shows off their tea collection while keeping things organized.

Tea should be kept away from moisture, strong odors, heat, and prolonged light exposure. The Bekith jar is a solid option for home tea storage — its glass construction won't absorb or transfer odors, and the wooden lid with silicone seal helps keep moisture out. Reviewers confirm it maintains freshness of dry goods well. Just keep in mind this jar works best in a pantry or on a shaded counter. If you're a casual tea drinker storing tea bags or loose leaf you go through regularly, it's a great choice. For rare or aged teas you want to preserve for months, you'd want something fully opaque and airtight.

Unwrapped tea bags need protection from moisture, odors, and air exposure. The Bekith jar is actually a really practical solution here — the wide mouth opening makes it easy to drop bags in and pull them out, and the clear glass lets you see exactly how many you have left. Reviewers mention it holds multiple bags of dry goods easily, so you could fit a large box worth of tea bags inside. The seal keeps things reasonably fresh for everyday use. Just make sure to keep it away from your stove or any strong-smelling spices, since unwrapped tea bags absorb odors easily.

One thing to be aware of — a reviewer noted that when buying multiple jars, the lids weren't closely matched across units. There may be slight variations in fit from jar to jar. This is worth considering if you're planning to buy a matching set for a uniform pantry look. The jars themselves are consistent, but the wooden lids may vary slightly in how snugly they fit.

One reviewer did note an unpleasant smell from the seal or lid area. If you're sensitive to odors — which tea drinkers often are — it's worth washing the lid and seal thoroughly with warm soapy water and letting it air out for a day or two before storing tea in it. This seems to be an occasional issue rather than a widespread one, but it's worth knowing about if you're particular about keeping your tea free from any off-odors.

Mason jars work fine for tea storage, but they're typically small (16-32 oz) and not particularly attractive on display. The Bekith jar offers a big upgrade in both capacity and aesthetics — at 100 oz, it holds far more loose leaf tea, and the wooden lid gives it a premium look that reviewers consistently call 'beautiful' and 'classy.' The wide mouth opening is also more practical for scooping loose leaf than a narrow mason jar neck. If you're looking for something that functions like a mason jar but looks like a piece of kitchen decor, this is a strong alternative.

Storing dry tea in the fridge is generally not recommended — the moisture and competing food odors can degrade tea quality fast. The Bekith jar is designed for pantry or counter storage, not refrigerator use, and reviewers note the lid isn't perfectly airtight, which would make fridge storage even more problematic. Your best bet is keeping this jar in a cool, dry cupboard or on a shaded counter. That's where it performs best and where it looks best too.

While the Bekith jar is designed primarily for dry storage — loose leaf tea, tea bags, and other pantry staples — it's not the best choice for storing brewed tea. Brewed tea needs refrigeration and a truly airtight seal to stay fresh, and reviewers have noted this jar's lid isn't perfectly airtight. You'd be better off with a sealed pitcher or bottle in the fridge for brewed tea. Where this jar really shines is storing your dry tea before brewing.
