Inexpensive Tea Storage?

Dominic,
see my 1.5 cents in the "tea & metal" thread, dunno if that's
streamlined enough 4 you but it's cheap and does the trick for me.

Karsten / Darjeeling

I use "silver" (aluminium foil I guess) zip-lock bags.
It protects my teas from light, smells, oxygen, it's cheap and don't
break open when it falls on the ground and I can write on it; what else
could I ask for....only donwside is it doesn't really looks good.

What I don't like about canisters is the less tea you have into it the
more oxygen there is, tea would go stale faster then, wouldn't it ?
