A Great Storage Box for Your Tea…
By Taylor Hamilton
I got this tea chest due to the fact that I received a Primula Glass Tea Mug and several teas from a friend. I’m a big fan of tea, especially the black teas like Earl Grey and Peurh Teas. With all of this tea in my cabinets, there is a lot of space that is being taken up. I got this box as well because it had a few samples of Bigelow teas in it, and I’m always up to try new tea. The picture that Amazon has shown shows the box filled with several bags, so I was excited, but was let down when I opened it to find 8 bags (2 bags of each flavor) in it. It really kind of put me off just because of the fact that the description stated 8 Bigelow Tea blends, when in reality, it only came with 4 different blends. I let this slide because I had several types of tea already, so this wasn’t a huge disappointment. Once I had all of my teabags in the box (which was quite a lot, about 8 boxes full of standard size tea bags), I closed the lid and noticed my other gripe, The fact that the box will not close fully when it’s full of tea. That’s not a good thing, considering that’s the whole point of the box. Now, I’m guessing if you took a few bags out of the box, it would close fully, so it’s not a big thing, I guess.
Pros:
Great tea storage solution
Well made and beautiful box.
Cons:
Only 4 types of tea with two bags of each, not the full chest as shown in the picture
Box will not close fully when filled with tea.

great box, misleading description
By Hunter Shoptaw
I got this for my wife, an avid tea fan. She loves the box, I love not having separate tea boxes taking up space in my kitchen. This product would have gotten 5 stars, except that the picture shows it full of teas and it only comes with, as many said before, 8 packets. Two packets of 4 kinds of tea. Now, I agree that you can’t always go by what is on the picture but the line in the description “it opens to reveal six separated compartments that come pre-filled with eight assorted Bigelow tea-bag blends” led me to believe that 8 tea blends would be available and that each compartment would be pre-filled. Not the case. Even the features list “Includes 8 assorted Bigelow tea-bag blends.” I would greatly appreciate it if the seller would review these statements.
Honestly the only reason i didn’t send it back was because my wife really does enjoy the box.

Great Gift
By Me
This is a great little box to give as a gift. It is perfect for entertaining or just decluttering your tea cabinet. I bought this for my mom and taped a 5×7 picture of my kids to the inside of the glass window to personalize it and she loved it.
The only small draw back is that the compartments are small so some of the larger tea packages dont fit as nicely. My mom had enough tea laying around to fill the entire box with packages that fit properly so this was not an issue for us.

Nice looking tea box
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Nice box for keeping tea. A little smaller than I expected, but that was my fault for not reading the dimensions carefully. My only issue is that, as others said, the cover does not close completely when filled with tea bags.

My family is like a tea box. good design does not take up much space and easy to use. Thank you.
Nice box, doesn’t close
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
I bought this to fit my large collection of tea bags. It really does fit a lot! Unfortunately, the lid doesn’t close! The lid does not allow space for the packages on the sides. NOT the ideal storage solution I was expecting.
Beautiful finish, sturdily built, classy!

My daughter-in-law received this for Christmas, plans to put it on her executive desk. She raved about it, and thanked me repeatedly. It IS a handsome box.
Lid doesn’t close
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
This is a nice tea chest, especially considering the low price, but the lid doesn’t close when filled with tea bags. To store tea as displayed in the picture, you’d probably only be able to fit ~3 bags per slot. If the box had been just a half inch larger, it would be much more accommodating for storage.
