Tomioka Kabazaiku Chazutsu Tea Canister

The natural cherry bark is naturally moisture-absorbent, which helps regulate the humidity inside the canister. This creates a stable environment that protects the delicate flavor and aroma of your tea leaves.

No, the canister is constructed entirely from wood, including the interior. This ensures your tea remains in contact only with natural materials, avoiding any metallic or synthetic aftertastes.

The press-fit inner lid is precision-crafted to fit snugly against the wooden walls, creating an airtight seal. While it is highly effective at keeping tea fresh, it is designed for ease of use and should be handled gently to maintain its fit over time.

The 100-gram capacity is an estimate based on standard Japanese green tea leaves. Depending on the density and leaf size of your specific tea—such as bulky loose-leaf oolong or dense matcha—the actual weight capacity may vary slightly.

Because the cherry bark is unpolished and natural, you should avoid using water or harsh detergents. Simply wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust; the natural oils from your hands will actually help maintain the wood's luster over time.
