Maintaining loose leaf tea quality in high-volume commercial kitchens, hotel pantries, and tea rooms requires reliable protection against moisture, ambient light, and kitchen odours. Designed specifically for food service operations, this food-grade commercial storage tub provides a spacious, airtight environment that preserves the essential oils, delicate aromas, and natural flavours of your bulk tea inventory.
Manufactured in the United Kingdom from heavy-duty, food-safe plastic, this tub features a snap-fit lid with an intact tamper-evident tear tab to guarantee chain-of-custody security and hygiene compliance in high-volume hospitality venues. Its stackable design enables multiple units to be stored vertically, saving valuable shelf and pantry space while keeping service areas organised and clean.
To preserve the first-use seal, tubs are dispatched with the lid unsealed, allowing you to fill the container with up to 4kg of loose tea or 1,000 pyramid tea bags on-site before snapping the tamper-evident seal into place. Smooth internal contours make cleaning simple between batch refills, ensuring long-term utility across your commercial tea service.

Commercial Tea Storage Tub FAQs
How much loose leaf tea or pyramid bags fit inside a 23.75L storage tub?
Capacity varies depending on leaf density and format. Standard cut black and green teas fill up to 4.0kg per tub. Commercial pyramid tea bags store up to 1,000 bags per unit. Open-leaf teas (such as Oolongs or Pai Mu Tan) hold roughly 3.0kg, while bulky botanicals (such as whole chamomile flowers or peppermint leaves) fill between 2.0kg and 2.5kg.
How does the tamper-evident lid mechanism work when receiving new tubs?
Tubs are shipped with lids fitted unsealed so that the tear-tab mechanism remains 100% intact upon arrival. You can immediately fill the tub with your bulk tea supply on-site and press the lid down firmly until it snaps into place. Once snapped shut, opening the tub requires breaking the tear tab, guaranteeing ingredient chain-of-custody and HACCP hygiene compliance.
Are these 4kg storage tubs stackable on commercial kitchen shelving?
Yes. Each tub features a recessed rim specifically moulded to interlock with the base of an identical tub. This enables safe, stable vertical stacking in kitchen pantries and storage racks, maximising vertical space without slipping.
