Empty Tea Tins

“A tin need not be full to be treasured — it is the promise of what comes next.” Lady Harriet

Which size shall it be?

Choose your tin:

With Proper Care

Wipe clean with a warm, damp cloth and dry thoroughly. A gentle hand wash is suitable when needed, but avoid dishwashers to preserve the finish and gilt detail.

With simple care, these tins will remain handsome keepers for many years.

Origin & Craft

This is the very same tin your favourite blend arrives in, offered here empty and ready for your own tea, gifting, or keeping - in whichever design you love best.

As Harriet Imagined

Harriet never saw an empty tin as truly empty - only waiting. A fresh batch of biscuits, a hoard of buttons, a secret note tucked beneath the lid; the tin's second life was often as charming as its first.

She kept a shelf of them, empty and gleaming, each one a small promise of something yet to come.
