Mariage Frères Tea Canister

The double lid creates an airtight seal that significantly reduces air exposure. This is essential for protecting the delicate essential oils and aromatics in high-quality loose-leaf tea, ensuring it stays fresh for longer.

Yes, the opaque, lacquered metal construction is ideal for all tea varieties, including green, black, and herbal blends. It effectively blocks out light, which is one of the primary factors that causes tea to degrade over time.

This canister is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the lacquered finish, simply wipe the interior and exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using water or harsh cleaning agents, as moisture can damage the metal.

The 150g capacity is based on standard tea leaf density. Keep in mind that fluffier, bulkier teas like white tea or large-leaf oolongs may take up more volume, potentially reducing the total weight you can fit inside compared to denser black teas.

While the lacquered metal is durable, it is a decorative finish. To keep it looking pristine, place it on a stable surface and avoid dragging it across abrasive materials, as the traditional finger-polished surface can be prone to fine surface scratches.
