The word Caddy is thought to come from the Malay word “Kati”, denoting a measure of tea weighing about one pound, usually the capacity of a canister. During the 18th and 19th century wooden tea caddies were produced with zinc lined compartments for storing tea together with a central glass bowl for sugar.
