Oh my. I think I’m out of my league on this forum. My stash is is far from grand. Insert embarrassed emoticon here.

Thanks for sharing a picture of your cupboard with us! The way I see it, all are welcome, and no need to be embarrassed. It looks like you have some nice tins; I really like the H&S one shown; I don’t have one of those! : )

Hey we have to start somewhere! :)

Heather Martin said 2012-03-12 17:25:21 -0400

Mine’s much smaller by comparison (I posted just a bit ago). I don’t have a lot of space.

Andrew Torres said 2012-04-09 00:44:36 -0400

Don’t worry about it. I only have four 1oz tins of good tea.

Hello, and thank you for the welcome and kind words about my tea cubby. Kat – I believe you may be seeing my Yorkshire Tea caddy with scenes of the Yorkshire Dales, not a bunny. Altho, in the photo it DOES look like a bunny instead of a rock formation(?). I coveted this tea caddy on the Yorkshire Tea website but unfortunately they do not ship this particular item to the USA; so I asked a fellow who is a regular on a Roman History forum I frequent and who is a UK resident if he might send for it for me and I would pay shipping,ect. He said he didn’t need to order it, he’d “just walk down to his local grocery”. Which he did. The tin cost $3.56 US but cost $13.56 to ship! He wanted to know if I still wished to proceed – why, of course! I had to have this tea caddy as I’ve enjoyed drinking Yorkshire tea for some years now. It arrived the day before Christmas, I was delighted and am forever thankful. Hope you don’t mind some more pics.

I just uploaded photos from to the group Flickr page, my hutch is temporarily placing host to my Celtic dishes so all my decorative tins as stored neatly underneath (I’m glad I kept all my gift boxes. The photos are all taken before my introduction to Steepster and thus before my ordering of lots of samples. Some have found their way into small tins, others in the hutch drawer, some are in the cupboard for the glasses above the eltric kettle and the least desirable (like free wild orange blossom) are in our pantry with a couple boxes of bagged tea. But here is the link to the pic of my hutch, seen in my icon, you can browse from there: http://www.flickr.com/photos/77346789@N06/6930252043

Very, very nicely arranged. Teavana does have some nice tins. And the pots and cups (and the hutch itself) are beautiful, too!

I looked at your other pictures on Flickr, too. Elegant, colorful, stylish, Beautiful!

I love those cranes (?) on the cups.

Invader Zim said 2012-03-12 17:22:01 -0400

Nice setup! Teavanas washi tins are very nice, I have 3 of them myself. I would own more but they are just so expensive. I do plan on buying one more that I really like if I ever see it again. I find their pots and sets quite lovely too, but again, they are just too expensive for me.

Autumn Hearth said 2012-03-12 20:37:23 -0400

Thank you both. I am a sucker for cranes and blossoms. Employee discount is generous, though a lot of that including the bone china set was on sale 50-75% off.

Heather Martin said 2012-03-12 16:19:31 -0400

Here’s mine. It’s pretty small by comparison.

Nearly all from DAVIDsTEA. The tin of chamomile is from my mom, I have a few Harney and Sons samples from a friend, and in my washi tin is the Bai MuDan (white peony) tea I got to sample for review from Angel of Teavivre in China. I have an extra bag of Buttercream stashed in the cupboard, along with my Teavivre bag of Dragon Pearls Jasmine green since the Teavivre bags won’t fit in the space above my sink.

SimpliciTEA said 2012-03-12 17:16:34 -0400

That washi tin certainly is beautiful!

Heather Martin said 2012-03-12 17:30:27 -0400

Thanks! It’s from Teavana in Atlanta. I picked it (and the bamboo spoon) up on my cross country move from Orlando, FL to Victoria, BC in 2007. Filled it with genmaicha. :)

There are a few more pics of it in my Camera + album on FB:

I was using my tea and tin to try own the app and play with the filters.

can’t believe i missed this thread. This was a shot from my fridge a month or two back, thankfully a bit more rational now…

Kittenna said 2012-03-30 07:48:18 -0400

Neat! Perhaps this is a silly question, but why is it all stored in the fridge? Just to prolong shelf life?

SimpliciTEA said 2012-03-30 17:32:18 -0400

I have the same question as Krystaleyn.

minirivertea: Thanks for the picture (and the added captions). I don’t see that as anywhere close to irrational (as you implied). Now my tea stash on the other hand …

Ah, the benefits of living in China, and having a neighbor say, “Here, why don’t you have some tea fresh from our farm!” Sorta like getting tomatoes, but not quite, eh? : p

Azzrian said 2012-03-30 17:58:42 -0400

I have throughly enjoyed viewing all your stashes! I will post a pic as soon as I organize mine AGAIN.

VeryPisces said 2012-03-31 12:47:41 -0400

I’m too embarrassed to post my tea stash photo. I am “between homes” so I bought one of those over-the-door shoe holders – you know, the things with pockets for about 12 pairs of shoes. I have a tea tin in each pocket, and they are labeled and organized by type. I look forward to buying a nice bookcase that I will use for my teas once I get settled.

Azzrian said 2012-03-31 12:50:02 -0400

Actually – that is a very good idea!

SimpliciTEA said 2012-03-31 13:30:40 -0400

Yes, that sounds very creative to me. I wouldn’t mind seeing a picture of your current setup.

This is all I have so far. Just recently made the switch to loose leaf. I’m glad I did.

Dylan Oxford said 2012-04-09 11:44:46 -0400

Never noticed that on ThinkGeek, somehow. Payday is tomorrow… looks like I’m getting these…

DaisyChubb said 2012-04-09 12:12:36 -0400

haha I covet these! Sadly can’t get them shipped to Canada

Invader Zim said 2012-04-09 14:04:47 -0400

I love the labels! Did you design them yourself or find and use a template?
Also, the chemistry mug is pretty cool too!

Blake said 2012-04-09 14:21:56 -0400

It’s a set from ThinkGeek Zim. They’re actually Adagio teas blended and packaged for TG.

Invader Zim said 2012-04-09 14:37:57 -0400

Oh wow, that’s awesome! Thank you!

Azzrian said 2012-04-14 00:01:09 -0400

Not so much a stash pic but I finally found an affordable china hutch today!!! I was SO excited! I saved for one for around 100.00 and got this one for 75.00!!!

Very nice!

Azzrian said 2012-04-14 00:45:00 -0400

Thanks Missy :) I’m happy for now hahahahaa

Dylan Oxford said 2012-04-14 01:01:12 -0400

Looks like it was made for that corner.

Azzrian said 2012-04-14 01:37:30 -0400

I know right! we have a small home I was worried about finding one that would work. I wanted one with the “table top” area as well not just all cabinet and drawers. I totally scored! Thanks to Craigslist haha

SimpliciTEA said 2012-04-14 10:33:06 -0400

Beautiful! I showed my wife, and she really likes it and was shocked at the price. I asked her to guess, How much do you think this would cost, used? She guessed $850 (although we don’t now, she has owned a hutch somewhat like that one in the past). Sounds like you really scored!

Yogini Undefined said 2012-04-21 13:07:24 -0400

Beautiful hutch, and awesome price! I am so inspired by everyone’s tea stashes/organizational methods. Such a great thread! :)
