Do the teabags depicted in the photo remain upright when the lid of the box is closed?

As long as they are the standard sized tea bags. For example, yumi organics do not fit the same. Basically if they are the same size as bigelow and lipton they fit fine..otherwise...not the best choice. Only completely upright when full, otherwise they tilt.

As long as the slots are full enough to keep the tea bags from falling over, yes. The lid has a little lip on it that provides enough room for the bags to remain upright when closed.

Each of the 8 compartments are large and can hold a great deal of tea bags, however I feel they would fall out if turned vertical.

They stay open but with nothing inside the container the box easily tips back because if the weight of the lid.

It does but I suspect that this is because it's still quite new and the lid is still stiff. Once I really break it in I think it will be able to stay open on its own. Overall it's a lovely piece and quite useful. I highly recommend it.

The lid if not secured will if turned over / up-side-down. But the "mug" part does not.SEH

There are little openings in the bottom of the infuser which I think would allow loose tea to escape. I have only used tea bags.

They do stay open, but are a little top-heavy when the box is empty. I have to add that these are one of the most handy and universal containers I have ever bought.

no they do not because the carrying handles are on the top of each container. they will sit on top of each other, but a little unstable.

Mostly. It's not very loose like some tea sets are. This one is very sturdy and the lid sits down in the top of the pot-not flush like some.

No the lid does not lock closed so if you tried to set it upright like that it would just fall open

Personally, I would not store tea in it unless they were individually packaged. This case is not air tight.

The lid does not slam shut if left in the upright position. As the lid gets closer to the closed position gravity will bring it down but not slam it shut.

It is not designed for use like that. Since tea bags are not flat, they would not stay in place when the box is vertical.

Sorry Cheri, I just open the tea bags and take what I need for the particular container I am using. I use it as though it is loose tea.

Yes, it stays open. The lid however doesn't lift very high, but it will stay open.

Yes. The base of the infuser fits in the lid when it is turned upside down.

No, the handles are up when thebox is closed. No way to stack another box on top.
