TEA CHESTS
LOL Dorothy - now a huge chest as you describe would be hilarious next to my tea pot. Thanks for the funny this a.m.
Here's a link to the tea chests at the English Tea Store (which is located somewhere here Stateside, I think ::snort::).
I'm not sure what I'll do. This would be nice to have at Bible study and such but since most my tea isn't in foil pouches...hmmmm....

The tea chests are lovely. I have a Longaberger tea bastket that is pretty. I'm not sure if it would hold as much as you would want. It holds 20-30 bags.
The chest would be very nice at your teas.
Ooooooh! I see!
This is what we call tea chests:

::snort:: Dorothy - now that WOULD fit into my living room decor quite nicely.
So do you have something like what we call a "tea chest" or do you mostly make tea from the leaves?????
LOL! No tea chests like the ones you mean that I found pics of at google. They look nice, but no room in the kitchen for another piece of equipment! I've never seen any in friend's houses either.
I usually use teabags, but they don't come individually wrapped very often. I'd just buy a box of the bags and keep the box in my cupboard along with all the other boxes. Does that make sense?
I do sometimes use leaf tea. Sometimes people still have a 'caddy' from earlier times in which to store the loose (leaf) tea. And a special spoon, but it's years since I used mine.
I'm discovering that in the US you 'do tea' differently to us here.
I love the photo you posted of the individual cup and pot. We have those here, but I don't have one. Mmmm sounds like a mother's day gift!
