First World Problems...
That wonderful photograph is of the bottom of a loose tea tin. Never mind that the tins were designed to stack nicely, at the expense of getting at the last bit of tea. And yes, there is a lip at the top that corresponds to the indentation at the bottom, so the last bit of tea CANNOT. BE. POURED.
It exposes a larger problem...the tea leaf dust that is created by the bumping and banging of the tins during filling, packaging, shipping, sale, and use!
Obviously the solution is to pack the leaves in single layers on some sort of soft medium so that they are cushioned. But Big Tea has no interest in preserving the customer experience, and would rather sell the maximum amount of tea, even in the form of dust!
And the biggest problem? I don't even drink tea!
