Vintage floral metal tin, 150 g of preserved tea
Metal Tea Caddy - Eigenart
A robin, a thrush, a tiny wren, and nests cradling pale blue eggs: against a soft cream background, the Merla tea caddy tells the story of a quiet garden walk. Birch branches, oak leaves and hazel catkins wind their way around the tin, right up to the lid. Made from lacquered tinplate, it keeps around 150 g of tea safely sheltered from air, light and moisture.
product details
In our workshop in Provence, each blend is handcrafted with passion by our team.
Real pieces of dried fruit, whole plants and carefully selected teas of origin.
Carefully crafted to create unforgettable tasting moments. A signature taste, an authentic experience.
The design on the Merla Cream caddy reads like a page from a naturalist's sketchbook. A robin, a song thrush and a tiny wren perch on a birch branch; nearby, nests shelter pale blue eggs, an azure butterfly drifts past, and the golden catkins of a hazel tree hang between oak leaves. The warm cream background, soft and luminous, gives the whole scene the quiet charm of aged paper. The pattern continues across the top of the lid.
Its name comes from the blackbird, that most familiar of garden birds. The caddy also comes in a soft green version: the two together, one for your morning tea and one for your afternoon cup, make a lovely gift.
Square in shape, the caddy is made from tinplate, with a food-safe protective interior lacquer (compliant with European regulation 1935/2004) and a BPA-free decorative exterior coating. The lid fits snugly and lifts away easily, shielding the contents from air, light and moisture, which can rob tea of its aroma over time.
It holds around 150 g of dry product. The exact amount depends on what you put in it: a broken-leaf black tea or a Rooibos will pack more densely than a white tea or a floral herbal infusion, which take up considerably more space.
