After reading a note from gmathis a month or so ago about the “trifecta” of Yorkshire Teas, I was feeling very motivated to try them too and so bought myself a box of each. I’m starting with this one but also trying to think of a way to justify opening all three boxes at once. How does everyone else store their teabags when they aren’t individually wrapped?
This blend is dark and fruity and does somehow capture the taste and aroma of breakfast toast. With the warm spring-like weather today, these fruity teas are really hitting the spot.

I put all my teas in tins once I open them, including bagged ones – it works well!
Just general tea tins? Maybe I need to buy a few to keep on hand! I threw these in a mason jar for now, but I know that isn’t ideal.
I need to get mine in tins soon—right now, I’ve just got the foil inner lining closed and clamped tightly. Isn’t this one absolutely delicious?
For these teas (since they have SO MANY BAGS lol) I put them in large resealable mylar pouches that I use for group orders and TTBs.
Whenever I buy a tea that comes in a tin, I keep it and put future teas in it! Well actually I have enough now, so I just give them away, but all my tins were free that way, which was nice!
gmathis It really is! It’s much more complex than I expected it would be.
Cameron B. I don’t know why I didn’t think of this. I have a ton of those zipper pouches for swaps and TTBs. That would be the obvious solution!
AJRimmer I’ve thought about doing this, but I always worry about the old teas tainting the new. How do you get the smells out of your tins? I feel like I’ve only tried this once and the old tea lingered. But it could have been that certain type of tin, I don’t remember who it was from.
Up to this point, the cup is empty before I have a chance for Toast & Jam to cool, but I actually let a sip stand for a bit…it is going to make a stellar strawberry iced tea this summer.
We just wash them really thoroughly and let them air out for a long time between teas. If there’s any lingering scent, I just put in a tea with a similar flavor profile next, but there’s usually no smell. Most of my tins are from DavidsTea or Teavana, but I have a few random ones and have refilled them all dozens of times without problems!
I also wash and air tins and re-use them. The only one that absolutely could not be re-used was Hot Cinnamon Spice from Harney and Sons. I could only refill that one with more Hot Cinnamon Spice, which I don’t really drink but guests do.
I will have to give the tins another try since it seems to be successful for most. But not with my Hot Cinnamon Spice! XD
