Leaves and Trees Glass Storage Jar with Wooden Lid

These work well for a wide range of people. If you're someone who wants functional kitchen storage that also looks great on display, these are a strong pick. Tea beginners appreciate the simplicity — no complicated mechanisms, easy to see when you're running low, and the included labels help with organization. Tea enthusiasts like them for displaying a collection and matching kitchen aesthetics. They're particularly great if you value eco-friendly materials (glass over plastic) and want something that can pull double duty as both storage and kitchen decor. They're less ideal if you need truly airtight preservation for very delicate teas or if you frequently need to grab large items from inside the jar.

This is something to be careful about. Several reviewers (4 mentions) note that the lid isn't secure enough to safely lift the full jar by the lid alone — the jar could slip off and fall. The wooden lid sits on top with a friction fit and silicone gasket, but it's not a locking or clamping mechanism. Always lift these jars from the body, not the lid. It's not a dealbreaker, but it's worth knowing, especially if you store them on high shelves.

Yes — multiple reviewers mention storing a spoon or scoop right inside the jar, which is really convenient for tea or coffee. The jars also come with a free ladle/scoop that customers find especially useful for coffee beans. Just keep in mind the mouth opening is narrower than the jar body, so while standard scoops and spoons fit fine, oversized serving spoons might not slide through easily.

No — the jars come with a rubber bottom that prevents sliding and scratching, which is a detail reviewers specifically call out and appreciate (7 mentions). If you have granite, marble, or wood countertops, you won't need to worry about setting these down. Interestingly, the silicone bottom piece is detachable, so if you prefer the clean glass look on a surface where scratching isn't a concern, you can remove it.

The opening is narrower than the jar body, which is the most common critique (4 mentions). Standard tea scoops, spoons, and most infuser balls will fit through without issue. However, if you're trying to reach in and grab larger items — like big cookies or a wide measuring cup — you'll find it tight. For tea storage specifically, it works well. You can pour loose leaf tea in and scoop it out with a normal tea spoon. Just don't expect wide-mouth jar accessibility.

These are incredibly versatile — reviewers use them for far more than tea. Popular uses include coffee beans and grounds, flour, sugar, rice, pasta, beans, snacks, crackers, and even popcorn kernels (one reviewer fits 5+ lbs). Some customers use them for pet food and dog treats. The BPA-free glass means you don't have to worry about storing food-safe items. Basically, if it's a dry good that fits through the opening, these jars handle it well.

For tea storage, you want something airtight, opaque or at least sealable, and made from non-reactive materials. These LEAVES AND TREES Y glass jars check most of those boxes — they have a wooden lid with a silicone gasket that customers say keeps contents fresh, and the thick glass construction won't impart any flavors to your tea. The one trade-off with clear glass is light exposure, which can degrade tea over time. If you're storing tea you'll use within a few weeks, that's not an issue. For long-term storage of delicate loose leaf teas, you'd want to keep these jars in a pantry or cabinet rather than on a sunny countertop.

Look for three things: a reliable seal to keep tea fresh, the right size for how much tea you buy, and materials that won't affect flavor. These LEAVES AND TREES Y jars offer thick borosilicate-style glass (BPA-free, no plastic taste), a wooden lid with silicone gasket for freshness, and a generous capacity — reviewers note they can hold a full 2.2 lb bag of coffee beans with room to spare, so they'll handle even bulk loose leaf purchases easily. One thing to consider: the mouth opening is somewhat narrow, so if you use a large tea scoop, check the dimensions. Standard tea scoops and spoons fit inside without issue — some customers even store their scoop right in the jar.

Tea should be kept away from light, moisture, heat, and strong odors. These glass canisters with their wooden lids and silicone seals do a solid job of keeping moisture and odors out — reviewers consistently mention the airtight seal keeping contents fresh. For everyday tea you rotate through regularly, storing these jars on your counter or open shelving works great and looks beautiful. For teas you want to preserve longer, tuck them inside a cabinet. The clear glass makes it easy to see when you're running low, which is a real practical advantage over opaque tins where you're always guessing.

Unwrapped tea bags need protection from air, moisture, and kitchen odors — and these glass canisters handle that well. The silicone-sealed wooden lid keeps air out, and the tall 7.6-inch design gives you vertical space to stack quite a few bags. Reviewers love that the clear glass lets you see exactly how many bags you have left without opening the lid. One practical note: the mouth opening is on the narrower side, so reaching in to grab a single tea bag near the bottom takes a bit of maneuvering. Not a dealbreaker, but worth knowing if you're deciding between sizes.

These jars are designed for dry storage — tea leaves, bags, coffee, flour, and similar dry goods. They're not intended for storing brewed tea or other liquids. The wooden lid and silicone seal are built for keeping dry contents fresh, not for liquid-tight performance. For brewed tea, you'd want a dedicated glass pitcher or carafe with a proper liquid-proof seal, ideally one that's refrigerator-friendly.

The lids come in a natural wood tone, but here's a nice tip from reviewers: you can treat the wooden lid with avocado oil to darken the color if you want a richer look that matches darker wood kitchen elements. One thing to be aware of — a couple of reviewers (2 mentions) noted that lid colors can be slightly inconsistent across sets, so if you're ordering multiple sets and want an exact match, that's worth keeping in mind.

Mason jars work in a pinch, but these LEAVES AND TREES Y canisters are a significant upgrade for tea storage. The wooden lid with silicone gasket provides a cleaner seal than a mason jar's two-piece metal lid, and it's much easier to open and close one-handed — something multiple reviewers appreciate. The 7.6-inch tall size holds a generous amount of loose leaf tea, and the clear glass lets you see exactly what's inside. Plus, the aesthetic difference is night and day. These look like intentional kitchen decor, not repurposed canning equipment.
