Teas and tisanes are frequently kept in an airtight tin called a 'tea caddy'. The word caddy comes from the Chinese word catty, which means 'one pound weight'. Through time, it's meaning has changed to refer to a container that holds tea or tisane, but even today, a caddy should hold about one pound of the leaf.
