Boite 1 kg orange 160x285

Some tins are content to simply contain. This one sets the scene. With its generous size and vibrant orange hue, it evokes those large tea house storerooms where blends accumulate in abundance, promising future tastings. Designed and crafted from quality metal, it rigorously protects the leaves, preserving them from light, air, and humidity, in keeping with the high standards of Maison Betjeman & Barton.

Its capacity allows it to hold up to 1 kg of loose-leaf tea or infusion, depending on the size and density of the leaves. This large format is ideal for storing everyday blends, teas consumed by the family, or large leaves that require space to preserve their full integrity.

Celebrate abundance and sharing with a large orange metal tea caddy

The orange hue of this object draws its inspiration from the artistic heritage of Nancy, the cradle of French Art Nouveau. It evokes the creations of the Nancy School, where master glassmakers and cabinetmakers translated nature into living material. In the glassworks of Émile Gallé or the Daum crystal factory, light was tinged with ambers, saffrons, and deep oranges, reminiscent of sap, autumn foliage, or sunsets filtered through engraved glass. This warm palette now finds a decorative resonance in this case, whose color seems to capture an inner light in turn, at the crossroads of art and the art of living.

In a kitchen as in a tasting area, it becomes a visual landmark, almost a totem dedicated to tea. But its use can extend beyond leaves: it just as readily accommodates sweets to share, such as the emblematic Bergamotes de Nancy, whose citrus notes finely complement the brilliance of its orange case.

Placed alongside more sober shades, it creates an elegant play of contrasts, reminiscent of the alignments of tins in the Maison's historic counters. A way to recreate at home the spirit of large perfumed reserves, between heritage and personal expression.

It obviously houses the tea Si Nancy m’était conté, a creation designed in homage to the Betjeman & Barton store in Nancy. Its orange packaging, designed in the wake of this story, becomes its natural visual signature.
