Tea tins - an elegant and durable presentation
After wooden tea chests, tea tins are the world’s oldest form of tea packaging. In nearly every corner of the globe, the presence of a tin full of tea in the kitchen engenders an immediate feeling of warmth. As the lid pops off and a spoon gently scrapes out the leaf, the sounds become imprinted on the minds of all who hear them. Because of their durability, families in many parts of the world still use tea tins that have been passed down for generations.

Hojicha, Japanese roasted tea, was invented in 1920. A Kyoto tea merchant came up with the idea as a way to sell a surplus of old Sencha he had in stock. Judging by its continuing popularity, the experiment was a hit.
