R drinks a huge thermos of this herbal tea every day, so we get it in serious bulk and of course keep it in this old tea bin from a long-time new york tea shop

in the shop, the same bin could be used for a variety of teas by rotating the label at the top

here's what the shop looked like in the late 19th century, complete with my bin!

hey, turns out this coffee merchant is STILL AROUND, roasting coffee in brooklyn!

i'm going to have to order some coffee from @GilliesCoffee1 just to bringit home to the old familiar bin!
