I have noticed that many US online tea vendors offers double-lidded steel or
copper tea containers. Does anyone know who makes these? I would like to
import a large quantity to Norway, so I would hope to make contact with the
manufacturer.

Hi Lars,
if that's what you want, then try he
http://cn.made-in-china.com/

Besides, the best canisters for tea are those tin products, maybe you
should also take them into consideration.

Why tin?

Why tin?

I have not found one such as you describe. However, I noted on that has a
pump on top that is used to create a vacuum in the jar holding the tea!
Seemed pretty clever to me, but what do I know. I drink Liptons and Red
Rose teas.*G*

Well, I was ignoring your discussion since I'm a great believer in ceramic
as opposed to metal tea storage containers. But the vacuum pump thing primed
my interest. Kindly tell me more. Thanks.

I have seen this jar in several hardware stores,

http://www.vacuvin.nl/p-cs.htm

Very nice idea, but why do they make it in transparent plastic? Both coffee
and tea should be protected against light as well as oxygen. Anyway, with a
commercial grade or advanced home vacuum packing machine comes the
possibility of vacuumsealing mason jars, eg.:

http://www.foodsaver.com/products.ad...catalogID=1004

(I am not affiliated with Vacuvin or Foodsaver, neither do I own any of
their products)

Michael, why do you feel ceramic jars are superior to metallic?

I'm not sure. Maybe because I have more faith in the non-interactiveness of
the glaze than the metal. Also, because I can wash ceramic without fear of
oxidized metal. I the plastic would allow air flow-through, so I wouldn't
buy their product. Not to mention the problem of transparency. If they made
a vacuum system for a simple opaque ceramic canister, we'd have something
great.

I can't find the website I had seen before. Here are two others that have a
form of vacuum sealing.
