If you wanted something cheap, just use mason jars! The only thing is that the glass lets light through and light is not good for the tea.
Does anyone know if this would include the nifty blue mason jars they're coming out with now? I've noticed them at places like Target. Brand name Ball so they're made for foods. Would the blue tint protect the contents from light?
Maybe a little too hipster at the moment, but can't go wrong with some mason jars.
