Keep Your Bag Clean: Crumb-Proof Tea Bag Storage
Keys, lip balm, receipts… and a fine dusting of tea crumbs across the lining. If that’s your daily vibe, you don’t need a bigger bag—you need crumb-proof tea bag storage that seals tight and stacks flat.
Daily carry: a personalised STEPOY metal tin (3.94 × 3.94 × 0.39 in; inner 3.74 × 3.74 × 0.35 in), comfy for 3–5 sachets.
The 7 Mess-Makers in Handbags (and the Fix)
-
Loose sachets wandering free → Keep wrappers on; stash inside a snug-lid metal tin.
-
Soft pouches that shed dust → Switch to a rigid flat tin—less abrasion, zero flaking.
-
Next to gum or perfume → Separate compartments; a sealed tea case blocks odours.
-
Wet after hotel rinses → Dry the tin fully before refilling; moisture carries scents.
-
Overpacking to “be safe” → Pack with maths: cups/day × days + 1 buffer.
-
Bulky plastic boxes → Keep it slim: about 0.4 in fits phone-pocket spaces.
-
Unlabelled look-alikes → Personalise with your name/art to stop “mysterious migration”.
The Crumb-Proof Setup (60 Seconds)
-
Pick 3–5 wrapped sachets you’ll actually drink.
-
Alternate corners as you stack so the lid closes perfectly flush.
-
Seal the tin and place it away from liquids/perfume in your bag.
-
Optional: slide in a flat sweetener or tiny brew-note.
Pocket Stress Test
Zip your bag with the tin next to a phone and cardholder → shake gently for 5 seconds → reopen.
Pass = no dust, no bent corners, lid still snug. If it pops, you’ve overfilled—remove one sachet or restack.

Mini cross-body: 3–4 sachets + note card.

Tote/daypack: 4–5 sachets + mini stirrer (paper/wood).

Care (30-Second Routine)
Wipe dry after trips, air open overnight if herbal notes linger, and only refill when fully dry. For stubborn scents, leave a pinch of dry bicarb on tissue inside for a few hours (discard before use).
FAQs

Loose leaf okay?
Yes—pre-portion into mini paper sachets; avoid ultra-powdery blends for travel.
