Is this the same tin as the old model Teavana tin? I am looking for those because they have a very tight lid. The new Teavana tins are not as good.

I can't say for sure but i don't think so. We have a few teavana tins we paid about $7 each for. These are a lot less expensive, they are smaller than the teavana tins we have (but teavana tea tins come in different sizes), and the lids are not as tight-fitting.

I think it is like those. The lids are very snug. Just the container is smaller.

I cannot speak for the Teavana tins (I've never owned one) but these have a very tight lid to them. I keep one at work, and I have been very pleased with its ability too keep the tea inside very fresh for long periods of time.

Never used Teavana but the lid fits very tightly. There is a 1/4 inch rim of soft, pliable plastic on the lid that snugly fits inside the body of the canister.

Don't know what the Teavana tins were like, but these had super-tight lids.

my set closes pretty tightly, just held one up side down and shook it pretty hard. Didn't move a notch.

It's the older one with aluminum lid. Also it burned when I made tamales. Had to throw it out. I wouldn't buy another one. Sorry I don't have better advise.

This was a gift. She said: The mug lid works fine, I think. It does not keep things as hot as in an insulted mug but I am happy with it. I am drinking out of it right now! The basket goes into the dishwasher so I don't have a problem there - but remember, I am not using it for loose tea - just tea bags. There usually is a bit of residue from a tea bag but it rinses out easily. Hope that helps.

My lid fit ok. It was a little bit tight. but the handle was broken and I have not used it. Still in its box from last year.

I bought one for my Mom, slightly different. They actually opened up a store locally and they said sometimes they get them in broken and will sell the lids then, but there aren't replacements to buy. If it broke during use, I would contact Teavana, they may replace it for you as I've had mine over 2 years now and it gets used every day and I've not had any problems with it.

Dear M, I purchased 2 of the vintage Chinese fortune sticks. I gave one as a present and I kept one.They appeared to be handmade. So the lid fits somewhat tightly but not securely.

I got my order from one of the third party distributers and it came in the exact same tin box pictured above.But I would be careful and just use Amazon for your order just to be sure.

I used my container this morning and the lid cracked. It's only been used a few times since I got it a year ago. Very disappointing.

Dear Raya,I emailed Golden City asking for a Stainless Steel teapot (I already had the glass teapot) because I have MS and tend to fall and/or drop things. They were very prompt in their response from Bob, who said I should call 'Tony' at 1(310) 278-2233 between the hours of 10-5, Sunday through Thursday. I spoke to Tony and ordered the Stainless Steel Teapot. Four days later I received the pot. Not only is this a well made teapot/samovar, it is an excellent company whose customer service is very responsive!

I was comparing Rubbermaid containers at Cub Foods in Minnesota yesterday and noticed two different lids for the same products. Both were noted as leak proof. I am not sure if the manufacturer changed lids and the old style is still being distributed or what, but upon my inspection, they seemed similar and of no real consequence.

I've had 2 of these. My newest one, the lid is definitely tighter, but still a one handed operation. If it doesn't get easier quickly, I'd get a different one. Is the seal glued on properly? Maybe it slipped??

No, they are not the same. I use 4 family size tea bags for 1 gallon of tea and only 1 gallon size bag for the same. I really like the gallon size better as it seems to give a more mellow tea taste...probably because there is maybe less difference from one bag to another, as well as the amount of tea in the gallon bag. Hope that helps! :)

I am commenting on the silver stainless steel model only. I ordered this mug 3 times over 4 years. The last one I ordered a year ago had the new design that is said to be easier to clean. So, you would probably get the new design. I will say that I never had an issue with the previous version b/c I only used this mug for tea in bags. Issues usually came when individuals used cream and other products that can cause mold, etc. I actually was happier with the older version b/c my tea bag string hung out of the cup with no leaking issues. I have found more leaking with the new top when my string hangs out. I couldn't comment on leaking w/o a bag string hanging out - I'm sure other reviews could help there. And, I'm sure the company doesn't recommend my use with the string out as well. Hope this helps.

I actually believe that Unilever UK has changed the strength of the tea bags again . The PG Tips that I am using now are weaker in flavor than the ones I purchased a year ago when I first started using PG Tips. I did a test by putting two bags in the cup instead of one. What results. The tea tasted just like it did when I first started using it. To me that proves a point. Unilever UK is cheating on the strength to make a higher profit. Shame on you people.

... I ordered this Tea Kettle but did use it. After I ordered it, I saw another one that I liked better, ordered it. When the one you're asking about arrived. I sent it back. Sorry I cannot help.Regards,Dave
