A modular tea bag dispenser for an organized kitchen. By having the outlet slanted you can always see which tea is inside and can remove them one by one ergonomically with one hand. The slit in the center of the lid allows for easy monitoring of how many remain. You can quickly and easily remove the design from the rail to fil up on your table.
Maximum tea bag size: 66x72 mm (If you have bigger tea bags you can scale the design up slightly). This design is compatible with my Spice rack / kitchen utensil rail – it uses the same rail system.

Instructions (check images)
- Choose your dispenser size and rail length.

- You can either screw or glue the rail onto your wall. There are various glue or tape products for wall fixation out there. I used 3M Tape.
- Place the body horizontally on your table and fill it up with tea bags
- Slide on the lid (if you stuffed a few too many inside which is definitely doable – you have to press them down slightly while closing the lid)
- Place the dispenser onto the rail
- Take out the bags one by one with your thumb as seen in the images.
- To get out the last bag or remove a stuck one – you can slide the lid up slightly with your middle finger.
