Tea storage

Does anyone have a recommendation for tea storage- there has been a sudden explosion in desire for herbal teas in the household and we really need a nice way of storing them, ideally on the counter as cupboard storage is limited. Largely herbal teas in wrappers but also some unwrapped black tea/ roobois tea.

Glass jars.

I have a number of these whittard tins for loose leaf tea. www.whittard.co.uk/tableware/product-type/tea-caddies/fill-me-up-green-caddy-349449.html

I ideally want something that I can keep them all in together like this but wondering if there are other options. Because I need to have it on the worktop I want something I can move quickly and easily in one go for cleaning etc.

Hmm, I would like to know the answer to this too! The main thing is avoiding the strongly fragrances varieties tainting the milder ones.

Yes, I was thinking that. I wondered whether something like [https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B08RWDMQ54/ref=sspa_mb_hqp_detail_mobile_aax_0?ie=UTF8&psc=1 this]] might mean the fragrance isn't trapped. I could maybe find some small caddies for the lower levels for the lose tea bags.

Big glass jar & throw them in jumbled up as pre-wrapped- I have this & its quite decorative

Only flavour 1 find is really strong is mint so maybe another jar for those?

Also, what about putting your jars/teas on a small tray so you can move that for cleaning? (or create a 'tea station;' on a tray with space for kettle/teas/mugs etc) - which would be moveable to clean/less cluttery

I have Portmerion jars and keep them on the worktop. Two different sizes. We have a lot of tea only three coffees so they stay in the cupboard.
