tea-caddy
Dried leaf container
A tea-caddy is a small container for storing loose tea leaves, typically decorative and fitted with a lid to preserve freshness.
Tea-caddies were once lockable, when tea was expensive enough to warrant protection from servants.
The word caddy here derives from a Malay unit of weight, not from golf.
