Hand-Laquered Tea Canister (100g)

A small, hand-lacquered Japanese tea canister from tin maker Kotodo Takahashi. The quintessential feature of the canister, namely the inner lid and the deep overlap between the body and the outer lid, were designed to protect delicate tea leaves from humid and moist environments. This structure ensures the airtightness of the tea canister and its cylindrical shape prevents any moisture from accumulating in corners.

It is our preferred tea tin and can also be used to store coffee or spices. Cream colored. See the larger canister here.

Please note that the lid has a small indentation on the back, which is used by the maker to dip the tin in lacquer.
