Disclaimer: I'm no purist - at home, on an average night, I enjoy the convenience of tea bags.
However, I hate the mess (all of the boxes are different) and the lack of visibility (I can't tell which box is running out and which is still topped up).
I've been trying different systems to order my selection, with little luck. They either didn't solve both problems, or they did but at the expense of a lot of kitchen real estate.
So I designed my own...
Enter... The Tea Library.
Key Features
- Radial Shelf Design: Inspired by book libraries, unique radial shelves display your tea bags beautifully and make selection effortless.
- Copper Feature: Utilises affordable, easy-to-work-with copper pipes for a chic industrial look.
- Visual "Inventory Management": Quickly gauge your tea stock at a glance, ensuring you never run out of your favourite blends.
- Space-Saving Solution: Keeps your tea organised and accessible without cluttering countertops or cabinets.
- Customisable: Easily adjust shelf spacing to accommodate various tea bag sizes and brands, as well as the density of tea per tea-library you want to store.
Let me know what you think about this?
(This is just a v1, and I already have ideas to build on this framework including a solution for loose leaf - I'm pretty pleased with how the whole thing turned out.)
Edit: this is a short video I put together to showcase this + files in case you want to make your own. You can get them for free.
