Beautifully Protecting Tea Leaves for a Rich Tea Time
The tea caddy has a capacity of 150g. The material is lightweight, sturdy steel. Its high light-blocking property prevents the aroma of the tea leaves from deteriorating due to light exposure.
The inner lid is also made of steel with high sealing performance, keeping the tea leaves safe from humidity and preserving their freshness. You can always enjoy delicious tea. The inner lid has a handle for easy opening and closing.
The airtightness can be adjusted to an appropriate degree, making it suitable for storing ingredients that you want to protect from humidity such as tea leaves, tea bags, herbal teas, coffee beans, dried goods, spices, and sweets.
You can also combine sweets and tea, use it as a petite gift, or as a small storage container.
This is an item that quietly adds to your daily tea time, combining elegance and practicality.
The Charm of Hand-dyed Washi Paper that Stands Out on the Tea Caddy
The hand-dyed washi paper used on this tea caddy is an original design by Fuwa Market. Skilled artisans in Kyoto carefully handcraft each piece by hand dyeing the washi paper.
Using traditional techniques, the deep colors and unique blends create a captivating charm. When you look closely at the pattern, you can feel the intricate layering of colors unique to hand-dyed paper.
Subtle gradations and nuances bring out a unique beauty that only handcrafting can achieve.
Each edition is carefully dyed and finished, creating a depth and warmth that cannot be expressed by simple prints.
The craftsmanship highlights the refined beauty of Japanese tradition in every detail. Every time you use it, you can feel the meaning of Japanese artisan skills and traditional patterns.
We hope you will experience the charm of this blend and warmth brought to life by the artisan's handiwork.
