I've really gone a little overboard with 2 oz of this, 4 oz of that and
need and expensive source for storage. I'm a little afraid of glass -
we have a bright kitchen and that's the tea area, as well. Any
suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I saw a recommendation somewhere (teachat, I think) for specialty
bottle. The big advantage is that they are very cheap. Shipping works
out to about $10 flat rate, and the stuff I ordered from them came
pretty fast.

They have a number of (food grade) tin containers that might work:

http://www.specialtybottle.com/index...n=Custom&ID=25

The first page has a special "tea" container.

I'm not quite sure if the seal on the rest is as tight as might really
be ideal (a second lid would be the best) - I ordered some and have been
relatively happy with them, though. Haven't used the special "tea" tins
yet, but I imagine those will work pretty well.

You can buy some better / tighter ones (often with a double lid) from
tea shops (brick and mortar or online) or asian markets, but they'll
probably be more in the $3-8 each range.

I love the bee-house canisters, but they are a bit expensive if you
need a ton of them. You might be able to get away with packaging
multiple samples in their own bags in a single canister.

Perfect! Thank you!
