Importance Of Tea Caddy!

Tea caddy can be simply said to be a container which is used to store tea for daily use. It, however, performs the extremely valuable function of retaining the original taste and aroma of the tea it stores.

The term is said to have originated from the word Malay word “Kati” which was used to describe the Chinese pound. Tea caddy was initially made of porcelain, but later variations in form and designs ensured the use of a wide variety of materials like wood, brass, copper, pewter etc. They are said to have been in practice since the late 18th century. Their designs can either be classified as austere or rococo which were much more elaborate and intricately designed.

Created both for its practicality as well as an object of art, a work of a tea caddy is to; literally keep the tea stored in it under lock and key. It helps to retain the original quality of the tea thereby making it taste much better than it otherwise would. In fact, at one point of time the tea caddy was also considered being a status symbol. Today they are, however, more of a collector’s item and are more prized for their antiqueness and beauty.
