How the Five Compare on the Numbers
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.
Weight Is Not the Travel Question
Half a Pound With Nothing on Top
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.
Only Two of the Five Close at All
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.
Carrying It, and What the Maker Says About That
Two Handles on the Half Pound Tray
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.
A Drawer That Slides and Stacks
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.
Where the Published Figures Fall Apart
One Box Publishes Two Different Sizes
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.
The Capacity Nobody Else States
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.
Which One Fits Your Kitchen
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.
What We Could Not Verify
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.
- No listing publishes a latch, a catch or a seal, so no box here claims to stay shut upside down.
- Four of the five publish no capacity, so only compartment counts can be compared.
- ZEXALOR’s size attribute and its dimension fields describe two different objects.
- Chicvilla publishes handles for carrying and no lid to carry anything under.
- No listing states a weight for the box with its compartments full.
- Not one of these five listings uses the word travel anywhere in its text.
