A perishable particle compression container stores and preserves a quantity of perishable particles, such as dry good particulates, coffee, tea, or tobacco. The compression container includes a container body and a lid. The container body includes a container-compression blade connected to a lateral wall, a container base, and a container-blade support. The lid includes a lid-compression blade connected to a lid base, and a lid-blade support. The lid-compression blade is positioned within the container body as the lid engages the container body. The lid pivots about the container body to allow the lid-compression blade to rotate around the container-blade support and compress the perishable particles within the container body.
