Organize Your Tea Bags In Preparation For Fall
What is the autumnal version of spring cleaning? Whatever it is, it tends to happen right around Labor Day weekend each year. The summer is over; the kids are back in school; and if you are lucky the weather may even start to cool down. This is when you look around and reorganize your belongings in preparation for the colder seasons ahead.
This is obviously why tea bag organizers are suddenly selling like hotcakes. Dedicated tea and coffee bars have become popular in recent years, and if you missed the boat in 2020 now is your chance to catch up.
Most tea bag organizers that I’ve seen on Amazon are of the plastic variety, like this one:
The appeal of plastic tea bag organizers (besides being, well, plastic, and therefore cheap) seems to be their transparency. Because they are see-through, you can intermingle a bunch of varieties and always know what your options are. By extension, these tea bag organizers do not take up very much space.
If you do have a little more room, however, I believe a wooden tea bag organizer has much more to offer in the way of aesthetics. Just imagine how nice this one would look in a small alcove adjoining your kitchen area:
There is something warm and welcoming—almost “hygge”—about the bamboo version. To borrow a phrase, I do not think it is possible to take a look at the plastic one and feel that it “sparks joy.”
At the end of the day, no matter what popular Netflix hosts might say, how you organize your home is up to you. These are just two general styles of the many tea and coffee holders available for you to choose from.
