1. A system for storing and processing herbs comprising:
a container having a base and one or more sidewalls extending upwards from the base and comprising an engagement interface at an upper end of the one or more sidewalls opposite the base, the base and one or more sidewalls defining a volume, the upper end of the one or more sidewalls defining an aperture; and
a lid removably attached to the upper end of the one or more sidewalls, the lid covering the aperture when the system is in a closed configuration, the lid comprising:
an outer portion comprising an external surface;
an engagement element for interfacing with the container to form the removable attachment;
an inner portion comprising a working surface, wherein the working surface comprises a bowl having a concave transition from a base of the bowl to a lip of the bowl, wherein the lip of the bowl is a convex transition between the bowl and a bowl rim, the bowl rim defining an intersection between the working surface and the external surface;
and wherein the working surface further comprises a channel for guiding a processed granular material out of the bowl in a focused distribution stream, wherein the channel is a further recessed section of the working surface extending from a center of the working surface to the bowl rim, and wherein the channel is wider at the center of the working surface and tapers to be narrower at the bowl rim; and
wherein the working surface faces inwardly towards the volume defined by the base and the one or more sidewalls when the container is in the closed configuration.
