The deciding specification is published weight, and the only two boxes here that close are the ones at 0.77 lb and 1.0 lb.
By the Lush Editorial Team·Researched & Compared
I compared published weights, compartment counts, closures, handles, materials, divider types, stated sizes and cleaning instructions across five tea bag organizer boxes, using only each maker's own listing text.
Solid wood with four compartments and three removable dividers at 3.3 x 12.6 x 2.2 in and 0.5 lb, the lowest published weight here, with two built in handles stated for carrying and cleaning by a damp cloth.
An acrylic tray of eight compartments at 11.25 x 3.5 x 1.9 in and 0.68 lb, with each inner cube given as 3.15 x 1.3 in and a stated hold of thirty to forty packets, qualified by bag shape.
A transparent PET bin with two compartments at 11 x 3.6 x 2.9 in and 0.71 lb, with a slanted opening for lifting a bag out, stated BPA free and stated plainly as not dishwasher safe.
A plastic bin with eight compartments and removable dividers at 0.77 lb, with a flip lid the listing says keeps contents dust free and lets the compartments slide out, and two published sizes that disagree.
A pull out drawer with four permanently divided compartments at 6.23 x 12.59 x 4.57 in and 1.0 lb, stackable in multiples, in BPA free shatter resistant plastic stated food safe.

Chicvilla at 0.5 lb, and not necessarily. It is the lowest published weight on the whole fact sheet and the only pick with two handles stated for carrying, but it publishes no lid of any kind. For a box that sits on a counter that is a fair design. For a box that moves, an open tray of four compartments is a risk the listing never addresses.
Two. ZEXALOR states a flip lid design that keeps items dust free and allows the compartments to slide out. iDesign is a pull out drawer rather than a lidded box, so the contents sit inside a closed shell whenever the drawer is shut. Chicvilla, Tasybox and FUCDTEFC publish no closure at all and are open trays with dividers.
Only Tasybox says. It states eight compartments with each inner cube at 3.15 by 1.3 inches and a total of thirty to forty packets, adding that the number varies with the size and shape of the bag. The other four publish a compartment count and no size for a compartment, so a two compartment box and an eight compartment box cannot be compared on volume.
Because their fields and their own text disagree. ZEXALOR publishes a size attribute of 10.8 by 7 by 3.7 inches and dimension fields of 5.91 by 5.91 by 7.87 inches, which are not the same object. iDesign's disagreement is smaller: its bullet gives 6.23 by 12.59 by 4.57 inches and its fields 6.5 by 12.5 by 4.5 inches, which is the same box rounded.
No, on the two that address it. FUCDTEFC states not dishwasher safe in capital letters inside its material bullet. iDesign asks for mild soap and water and says do not place in the dishwasher. Chicvilla says to wipe it with a damp cloth, which for solid wood is the expected instruction. Tasybox says easy to clean without naming a method and ZEXALOR says nothing.
It is sold as both. Its title names tea bags first, then dresser and drawer organizing, and three of its five bullets describe storing socks, ties, accessories and other clothing. The eight compartments and removable dividers are the same either way, but a buyer should know that the tea use is one of several the maker had in mind.

Sixteen tea boxes sit on this fact sheet and published weight runs from 0.5 lb to 6.61 lb. A travel kit only has room for the bottom of that range, so the five here are the five lightest: 0.5 lb, 0.68 lb, 0.71 lb, 0.77 lb and 1.0 lb. Weight turns out to be the easy part of the question.
The hard part is whether the box keeps a tea bag inside it while it moves. Three of these five publish no lid at all: they are open trays with dividers. The two that do close, a flip lid and a pull out drawer, weigh 0.77 lb and 1.0 lb, the two highest figures in this group. That is the trade this page is about.

What the table cannot tell you is how a lid behaves in a bag. ZEXALOR calls its lid a flip lid and says it keeps contents dust free, and iDesign describes a drawer that pulls out rather than a lid at all. Neither states a latch, a catch or a seal, and no listing here uses the word travel.
Chicvilla publishes 0.5 lb, the lowest weight of the five and of the whole fact sheet. It is solid wood, called acacia in the title, with four compartments and three removable dividers, and its fields read 3.3 by 12.6 by 2.2 inches. Nothing in the listing mentions a lid, so what you are carrying is an open tray.
Tasybox and FUCDTEFC are the same shape of problem at 0.68 lb and 0.71 lb. Tasybox is acrylic with eight compartments at 11.25 by 3.5 by 1.9 inches. FUCDTEFC is PET with two compartments at 11 by 3.6 by 2.9 inches and a slanted opening for pulling a bag out. Both are open on top by design.
ZEXALOR at 0.77 lb is the first pick here with a lid. It is plastic, eight compartments, removable dividers, and the listing describes a flip lid design that keeps items dust free and lets the compartments slide out. It also calls itself lightweight yet strong enough to hold a lot of weight, without giving a figure for either.
iDesign at 1.0 lb closes a different way. It is a pull out drawer with four permanently divided compartments, stackable in multiples, made of BPA free shatter resistant plastic and stated food safe. A drawer that slides shut is the nearest thing on this page to a container that will survive being put in a bag.
Chicvilla is the only pick that publishes handles, and it publishes two of them, built in, with the stated purpose of carrying the caddy when serving tea to friends and family. For a kit that moves, that is the most directly relevant sentence any of these five listings contains, and it belongs to the box at 0.5 lb.
The handles are on an open tray, which is the contradiction at the center of this category. Chicvilla describes carrying a box that publishes no lid, and says cleaning is a wipe with a damp cloth. Its three dividers come out, so four compartments can become fewer, but nothing holds a bag down once the tray tilts.
iDesign publishes the other handle on this page, described as an integrated front handle for a comfortable grip when opening and closing the drawer. That is a handle for using the box, not for carrying it, and the listing does not claim otherwise. It also states that the design stacks in multiples to conserve space.
Stacking is the one feature here that scales a kit. Two iDesign drawers hold eight compartments in the footprint of one, and the compartments are permanently divided, so nothing loose comes out in transit. Cleaning is stated as mild soap and water with an explicit instruction not to use the dishwasher, which FUCDTEFC also gives in its own words.
ZEXALOR publishes its size attribute as 10.8 by 7 by 3.7 inches and its dimension fields as 5.91 by 5.91 by 7.87 inches. Those are not the same object. Two matching figures and a longer third usually describe something upright, and 10.8 by 7 by 3.7 describes something flat, so one of the two is not this box.
iDesign has the same disagreement in a milder form. Its bullet gives the drawer as 6.23 by 12.59 by 4.57 inches, with a metric conversion, and its fields read 6.5 by 12.5 by 4.5 inches. Those are the same box rounded differently, so the maker’s own sentence is the one quoted here, and this page ignores the ZEXALOR fields entirely.
Tasybox is the only listing on this page that says how much fits. It states eight compartments, each inner cube at 3.15 by 1.3 inches, and a total of thirty to forty packets, with the honest qualifier that the actual number varies with the size and shape of the bag. No other pick here publishes a count of anything.
The other four give a compartment count and stop. Chicvilla and iDesign say four, ZEXALOR says eight, FUCDTEFC says two. Without a compartment size those numbers are not comparable: two compartments in a box 11 inches long could hold more than eight in a box the same length. Only one maker did the arithmetic for you.
A caddy you actually pick up and carry. Chicvilla, solid wood with four compartments and three removable dividers at 3.3 by 12.6 by 2.2 inches and 0.5 lb, with two built in handles stated for carrying and no lid published anywhere.
Counting the packets before you pack. Tasybox, acrylic with eight compartments at 11.25 by 3.5 by 1.9 inches, each inner cube 3.15 by 1.3 inches, stated to hold thirty to forty packets, published at 0.68 lb.
Two kinds of bag and a slanted opening. FUCDTEFC, PET with two compartments at 11 by 3.6 by 2.9 inches and 0.71 lb, transparent and BPA free, with a slanted opening and a plain statement that it is not dishwasher safe.
Something with a lid on it at all. ZEXALOR, plastic with eight compartments and removable dividers at 0.77 lb, with a flip lid stated to keep contents dust free, and two published sizes that do not agree with each other.
A drawer that shuts and stacks. iDesign, a pull out drawer of four permanently divided compartments at 6.23 by 12.59 by 4.57 inches and 1.0 lb, stackable in multiples, in BPA free shatter resistant plastic stated food safe.
Every figure above comes from the maker’s own listing text. These are the things we went looking for and could not source in any of them.
