Joie Tea Box

So civilized
I picked up one of these at TJMaxx and loved it. We knew we’d need a second one to tame the mess of small lightweight boxes sliding and toppling about in the cabinet. Typically I’d wash something new like this in soapy water, but I couldn’t be sure that there was a tight seal between the base and partition liner. I didn’t want it to fill with water that I couldn’t get out, so I just wiped it with a damp cloth. Other than that they were a great addition to our evening cups.

My perfect little tea boxes for home and work!
These cute little 3-section Joie tea boxes are the perfect go anywhere compact size. They are sturdy, hold a lot of tea bags (label states 36), but do not take up much space. I stack a few in the pantry and keep one at work. The clear cover lets me see which flavors are in each box. The cover fits snugly and does not come off when it’s in my work bag. Sadly, these tea boxes are getting harder to find, especially in the blue.

Color not as shown, inaccurate product dimensions
I may have given this product 5 stars had the color I received matched the picture. I even asked a question about the color, indicating I wanted blue but would accept green, but if it was red, I didn’t want it. The seller responded several times, a couple of times indicating the color was blue, then again saying they had all three colors and would ship whatever I wanted. I found no way to contact the seller verifying the color, so I ordered. Guess what color I got, RED! The other issue is the description is lacking informationsuch as the actual product dimensions and number of teabags it holds. They mention package dimensions 9.25 x 4.8 x 3.35 inches. The actual dimensions of the product are 8.5 x 3 x 3.35. They never mention how many teabags it holds. I thought I was getting a larger one that held more bags. I’m not returning it because I don’t want the headache. Otherwise it’s a nice box that hold about 30 bags.
