Those great Adagio tins get re-filled with Adagio re-orders and with teas from other sources that usually typically come in bags. My blends get put in them and handed out as gifts, too. This morning I boxed up (for lack of kitchen space) 3 tall ones, 8 or 9 mid-size, and probably 8 or 9 sample size.
Anybody need some?????
That doesn't count the ones I set aside that get re-filled.
I also kept for myself the older sample ones that had the Adagio logo embossed on the lid, and most of those were accidentally printed backwards by the manufacturer - they're my favorites!
Boss remembered to buy me flowers for Secretary's Day and all the staff will go out to lunch next week.
I use my empty tins mostly for storing more tea. I think most of my tea drawer is filled with Adagio tins though over half are probably from different vendors. The little ones work great for holding just enough tea for traveling. They also work well for sending teas to other people. I think I also have one of the larger sized tins being used as a random junk holder on my desk.

Yes, yes, and yes! I use them for this as well.Cinnamon Kitty wrote:The little ones work great for holding just enough tea for traveling. They also work well for sending teas to other people. I think I also have one of the larger sized tins being used as a random junk holder on my desk.
Although in my case, the "junk holder in my desk" is likelier to contain chocolate-covered coffee beans, for those work days when a combined sugar/caffeine jolt is required.
