About this product

Window & Display Tins

A window sells tea. Customers want to see the leaf, whole-leaf blends look expensive through glass, and on a crowded shelf it is a genuine differentiator.

It is also the one decorative choice that actively harms the product. Light drives oxidation and breaks down the compounds that make good tea taste like anything, and a tin sitting under retail lighting for three months has had a long exposure. Green and white teas suffer fastest; a dark roasted oolong barely notices.

So we make them, and we will tell you how to limit the damage: keep the window small, put it on one face only, tint it, and turn stock over quickly. If the blend is delicate, we will suggest putting the photography on the tin instead of the tea.

FAQ

Window & Display Tins: quick answers

What is the minimum order for window tea tins?

Minimum order is just 12 — with bulk pricing tiers as quantities grow.

How fast will my order arrive?

Your free mockup lands within 24 hours and the finished order ships in about 2 weeks — express turnaround is available for tight dates.

Does a window really damage the tea?

Yes, and more than most people expect. Light drives oxidation and breaks down the aromatic compounds, and a tin under retail lighting for three months has had a long exposure. Green and white teas suffer fastest; a dark roasted tea barely notices.

Should we avoid windows entirely?

Not necessarily — they sell tea, and that matters. Keep the window small and on one face, tint it if the blend is delicate, and turn stock over. Or photograph the leaf beautifully and put that on the tin instead.
