Where might I find tea tins? Assorted sizes, stackable, re-labelable? It seems loony to buy boxes of tea and throw it out, just to get the nice airtight tins. Should I just buckle down and buy them from Teavana (even though theirs don't stack really well)?

I tend to have some of these leftover. I buy much of my tea from Adagio, and the amounts roughly corresponding to 4 and 8 ounces of weight come in metal tins with UV-shielded clear tops with rubber gasketed seals. They're generally a light shade of green, with the company logo and a spot for a label, though at least one has been more specific to the variety of tea it contained. I've reused these tins many times, either when I buy the refill quantities of tea, or buy tea elsewhere. The tea from them is generally good quality, and cheaper than it would be from Teavana.
