A storage unit is for storing products that can be affected by humidity, particularly tea. An outer container has a closed outer wall, an upper side on which the outer container is open and has an upper edge, and a lower side on which a closed bottom is arranged. An inner container has an inner space for receiving the product that can be affected by humidity, a wall surface provided with a number of air-exchange openings, a filling opening, a sealing edge defining the filling opening, and a closed bottom. The inner container is reversibly placed in the outer container, the filling opening of the inner container being upwardly oriented towards the upper side of the outer container.
