I have a dear friend who loves and collects tea. He has these metal tea tins that he stores his tea in. The tins are cheap and appear to be air tight. Anybody ever consider tea tins as alternatives to mason jars? Here in Florida, the mason jars can be problematic.

I haven't thought of using anything else. I can get a box of 12 1 pint jars for under $10. I live in Michigan though, and we don't have the humidity that Florida does.
The tea tins I've had experience with are far from air tight.
I wouldn't use them anyway... they may impart some flavor owing to the "ghosting" from the tea.

I enjoy makeing my own tea blends, I drink 2 cups of tea, and then Coke Zero and water. Never anything else. I know tea won't last long so I use the snap ones that came when I first started. I would never store tobacco in them, even in my rotation line-up. Go to an art supple house, you'll find nice air tight containers any size or style you want for small storage. Mason jars for anything else.
