| Aug 8 at 15:14 | comment | added | Roger Balfour | Ok great. Thanks again. The setup I'm going for is 1-2L kilner jars put inside a dark cupboard. Tea lives in there, then a 750ml tin can on the shelf for day to day use. | |

This saves on expensive tin cans and is also convenient when picking one. The odor mixes a little inside, but does not come out (no degradation on taste noticeable). | |

| Aug 8 at 13:06 | comment | added | Antares | In the case of tea: You want to protect it from UV-Light. So either use "brown glass", or just tin cans. "Clear" glass might also work, but I have no experience with it in case of tea. For noodles, rice etc. there is no problem, as I can see. For herbs brown glass is commonly used (could be a analogy to tea). I for one have clear glass for herbs. So the difference may be marginal. | |
