Creating an attractive front-of-house tea display is one of the most effective ways to engage café and hotel guests. Showcasing vibrant orthodox leaves, dried flower petals, and colourful fruit pieces invites customer curiosity and drives tea sales. However, exposing specialty teas to ambient light rapidly degrades their delicate essential oils, rich aromas, and natural colours.
To solve this challenge without hiding your tea menu behind opaque cabinet doors, our UV Coated Kiln Clip Glass Storage Jar combines visual presentation with rigorous leaf protection. Each square-base jar is manufactured from heavy-duty glass in Germany and finished in the UK with a specialised UV-filtering coating. This protective layer filters out harmful light rays while maintaining crystal-clear transparency, preserving leaf freshness on customer-facing counters.
Fitted with a durable stainless steel kiln clip and a food-grade airtight rubber seal, each jar locks out ambient air, humidity, and kitchen odours. Measuring 230mm in height with a 100mm square base (1,550 ml capacity), these jars fit neatly on counter displays, back-bar shelving, and pantry racks. Standalone jar purchases ship unlabelled, giving you full flexibility across your commercial tea service. If you require display labels, these can be selected directly on any individual tea product page.

UV Kiln Clip Storage Jar FAQs
Why does loose leaf tea need UV-coated glass jars instead of clear glass?
Unfiltered ambient light and ultraviolet (UV) radiation rapidly break down delicate essential oils, chlorophyll, and organic flavour compounds in tea leaves. Standard clear glass exposes leaves to light oxidation, causing flat aromas and stale taste profiles within days. Our UV-coated Kiln Clip jars feature a specialised UK-applied outer coating that filters out damaging UV wavelengths while remaining fully transparent, allowing cafés and hotels to showcase vibrant tea leaves safely on display counters.
How much loose leaf tea fits inside a 1,550ml square display jar?
Capacity varies depending on leaf density and leaf size. Voluminous large-leaf orthodox black teas, white teas, or fluffy herbal botanicals (such as whole chamomile flowers or mint leaves) typically weigh around 200g to 300g per 1,550ml jar. Denser, rolled, or fine-cut teas (such as gunpowder green tea or broken black tea grades) fill up to 500g per container.
Do standalone display jar orders include printed tea labels?
Jars ordered as standalone items are delivered plain and unlabelled, giving food service venues full flexibility for custom blends or general pantry storage. If you want jars pre-labelled with specific Jenier tea titles (such as English Breakfast, Earl Grey, or Jasmine Green), select the Display Label option directly on the individual tea product page when ordering your tea for 30p each.
