It is desirable to put the tea leaves in a tea caddy for moisture protection, but when put in a tea caddy, it becomes difficult to know what brand of tea leaves the tea leaves are. In addition, when there are only a small amount of tea leaves at the bottom of the tea caddy, the tea leaves tend to be oxidized and deteriorated by a large amount of oxygen in the tea caddy. In addition, bending the opened portion and fixing it with a clip has to prepare a clip, and when the bending is not appropriate, there is a problem that the moisture-proof effect is reduced by half.

[0004] The present invention has been made to solve such a problem.
