Fortunately, there are some smart ways to reorganize your cabinet to create a stylish and streamlined coffee and tea station, so you can easily treat yourself (and your guests) to the perfect cuppa. Simply host Haley Cairo suggests pulling everything out of the cupboard and getting rid of anything you can—like old tea bags and mugs you rarely use.
