Beautifully preserving tea leaves for rich tea time
The tea caddy holds 150g. The material is lightweight yet very sturdy, made with a metal style. Its high light-blocking property prevents damage to the tea leaves’ flavor.
The inner lid is also metal-made with high sealing performance, protecting the tea leaves from moisture and firmly keeping their freshness. You can always enjoy delicious tea. The inner lid has a handle, making it easy to open and close.
The appropriate moisture and temperature can be kept, so it is also recommended for storing ingredients you want to protect from moisture such as tea leaves, tea bags, herbal tea, coffee beans, dried foods, spices, and sweets.
You can also bundle sweets and tea together as a gift set or use it as a container for small items.
This is an item that quietly adds to your daily tea time, combining elegance and practicality.
Charming detail of hand-dyed washi paper
The hand-dyed washi paper used on this tea caddy is an original of Fuwa Market. Skilled artisans in a specialized workshop in Kyoto carefully handcraft each piece one by one.
The deep color and unique blend created by traditional techniques are enchanting. Looking closely at the paper, you can feel the delicate layering of colors that only hand-dyeing can achieve.
Subtle gradations and nuances bring out a unique beauty that cannot be replicated by machine work.
Each edition is carefully hand-dyed, creating a warmth and depth that simple prints cannot express.
The meticulous craftsmanship emphasizes the beauty of Japanese washi paper. Every time you use it, you can feel the meaning of Japanese artisan skills and traditional patterns.
Please experience the charm of this blend and warmth created by artisan handiwork.
The wishes and prayers incorporated in the pine pattern
Pine is a symbol of prosperity
Pine is a plant loved by Japanese people for a long time as a sacred symbol.
Even in cold winters, it retains its green leaves, symbolizing "longevity," and the pine tree, along with plum and cherry blossoms blooming on a single branch, carries the wish for "prosperity of descendants."
Since the Edo period, pine has been regarded as a divine plant, depicted on Noh stage panels, and used to welcome the New Year deity by making gate pines, becoming an indispensable presence in performing arts and seasonal decorations.
The strong vitality and beauty of pine are loved by many people even today.
The colors are a green series representing autumn leaves,
and a warm orange series. Both are presented in two colors. The harmonious yet distinctive colors make it perfect to brighten your tea time.
※ Since large sheets are cut to make these, there are individual differences in the placement of the pattern. Please understand this.
