Leaves and Trees Glass Rice Storage Containers

The seal is definitely strong—many users mention it keeps contents fresh and some even find it a bit too tight to open easily. However, a couple of reviewers noted that bugs managed to get through, so while it's great for everyday freshness, it might not be 100% pest-proof if that's a concern in your pantry. For loose leaf tea storage, it should work well as long as you're opening it regularly.

This is hit or miss. Some people love the secure seal, while others struggle with how tight it is—especially if you have arthritis or weaker grip strength. A few reviewers mentioned the rubber seal can even tear if you're wrestling with the lid. If you brew tea multiple times daily and want quick access, this might frustrate you. But if you prioritize keeping tea fresh over convenience, the tight seal is actually a plus.

Yes, the clear glass design lets you see exactly what's inside and how much you have left—no more guessing when you're running low on your favorite loose leaf. It's also aesthetically pleasing if you keep your tea canisters on the counter or open shelving. Just keep in mind that light exposure can degrade tea quality over time, so you might want to store these in a cupboard rather than direct sunlight.

It holds 60 fl oz (1800ml), which is plenty for loose leaf tea—you could easily fit several ounces depending on the leaf size and density. However, some reviewers noted it doesn't quite hold the advertised 5 pounds of flour, so the capacity claims might be a bit optimistic for denser ingredients. For tea specifically, you'll have more than enough room.

Absolutely. Eight reviewers specifically praised the wide opening for easy access and measuring. You can scoop tea without spilling, and it's simple to refill from bulk bags. The included scoop is a nice touch, though a couple people mentioned it doesn't fit when the container is completely full—but honestly, how often is your tea canister 100% packed?

Yes, the rubber base gets a lot of love—12 reviewers mentioned it prevents sliding and protects surfaces, which is great when you're grabbing your tea canister in a morning rush. One person did note the rubber doesn't stay attached perfectly, but that seems to be an isolated case. Overall, it's a thoughtful design feature that makes daily tea prep a bit safer.
