Can you store the tea bags upright and still have the lid close fully?

Yes, the compartments are deep enough to allow bags to be stored upright. However, We prefer them flat so that we can see the front of the bags.

Yes!! The bags will sit upright and the lid still closes. I love this tea box!!

I bought mine a few years ago but I assume they are still the same. I store the bags, of various brands, upright in mine since I have a lot of variety and put more than one variety in each "pocket". I just measured and each pocket is about 3 and 5/16ths inches tall.

We keep all our tea bags in our box . don't know if loose tea would work. Try a small batch to see if it works. I think it would.

There is no lid and based on the shape of the opening - I doubt you will find one. I store mine in tupperware pitcher after making tea.

Yes, the lid stays up as the hinges are very firm and well attached to the case. And it really looks very classy when you set it out for company. It also seals very firm. I've noticed some people said they had trouble flipping up the closure hinge, but that's good to keep the tea fresh. This is one of my five favorite things I've bought off of Amazon.

The used tea bag will fit in the underside of the buddy, but there is nothing to cover it. I like these because the fit almost any size cup and you have a place to keep your tea bag after it has steeped.

The ziploc bags are not air tight. They have a zipper around the top so should stay shut but also have a narrow mesh around the top and are not vacuum sealed.

I am not sure the recommended method of storing tea leaves. If it is dark and dry, then yes, I'd say this container would do it. As I mentioned upon pushing the side button to open or close the top, it is air that is pushed out, but it is not a vacuum seal.

It's definitely made with loose leaf tea in mind but I don't see why you wouldn't be able to put a tea bag in there.

you could definitely lay them in there flat and stack them 3-4 high - the dividers are wide enough for tea bags

Yes the lid will stay open when changing the bag. There is a little red switch that holds the lid open.

Great question! While the tea bags can be stored, the tea itself should be used immediately. Remember, this is a LIVING product - each tea bag contains billions of beneficial microbes, lying dormant in hibernation. Once you soak the tea bag in water, you start to awaken them. When you stir and add water, now they are wide awake and ready for work and food... so let them loose!Simplest rule of thumb is work backwards: 1. Soak tea bag only when you know you

Sure, but if you just stuffed a tea bag in there it would take longer to brew. A better way might be to cut the bag open and pour the loose tea into the infuser.

I have not used it with tea bags, but I don't see any reason why you can't A tea bag would certainly fit inside the Manatea.

The lid will stay open vertically if you tighten the bolts that hold it. The bags are easily to get to if the lid is open or closed - easier if open.

Yes, but you can reduce the degree of separation by storing it in the refrigerator, or upside down (just make sure the lid is screwed on tightly).

I tried this afternoon to find out just how "waterproof" the carry case is (the answer is, not very). I added some water to the container, put the lid on, and shook it. While it did not pour out, there was no doubt that this lid is NOT a tight seal. I suppose that a large o-ring or perhaps some RTV could be used to seal it up, or a very large stopper would do the trick, but barring that, I would not carry wet tea in this unless you like tea leaking everywhere.

yes, there is a removable section/basket for loose tea or bags- works great. You can then remove the basket once brewed and then keep the tea hot.
