How to choose the right Tea Boxes and Strainers

• Consider how many tea varieties you offer and choose tea boxes with enough compartments for clear organisation.
• Check the mesh size of strainers to suit your preferred loose leaf teas, from fine blends to larger whole leaves.
• Match materials and finishes, such as hevea wood or stainless steel, to your existing front of house presentation.
• Measure available counter or buffet space to decide between compact tea boxes, larger tea stations or vertical racks.
• Think about service style, whether staff-served or self-service, and select layouts that are intuitive for guests.
• For busy sites, prioritise robust, commercial-grade accessories that can withstand frequent daily use.

Care and maintenance

• Rinse tea strainers immediately after use to prevent tannin build-up and staining of the mesh.
• Wash strainers and removable parts in hot, soapy water or a commercial dishwasher where suitable.
• Wipe wooden tea boxes and stations with a damp cloth and mild detergent, avoiding soaking or harsh chemicals.
• Allow boxes and racks to dry fully before refilling to protect tea from moisture and preserve flavour.
• Regularly check hinges, compartments and inserts for wear or damage and replace if they affect hygiene or presentation.
• Store filled tea boxes away from direct sunlight and strong odours to maintain tea quality.
