KongMountainTea Bamboo Leaves Tea Jar

The small jar uses a fabric-based tight seal, which is ideal for keeping tea leaves fresh for daily use. The large jar features a double loose seal, designed to allow for slight airflow, which is better suited for aging tea leaves or storing larger quantities.

Yes, this ceramic vessel is versatile enough for most tea types, including oolong, black, and aged puerh. Because ceramic is opaque, it protects your leaves from light damage, which is essential for preserving flavor profiles over time.

To maintain the integrity of the hand-painted bamboo patterns, wash the jar gently by hand with warm water and a mild, fragrance-free soap. Avoid using abrasive sponges or putting the jar in the dishwasher, as these can wear down the ceramic glaze and artwork.

Ceramic is porous, so it can absorb strong aromas over time. If you plan to switch between different types of tea, we recommend dedicating one jar to a specific category—such as only storing roasted oolongs or only storing aged puerh—to prevent flavor cross-contamination.

The small jar is best suited for loose leaf tea, while the large jar (16.5 cm height) can accommodate smaller tea cakes or broken-up leaves. If you are storing a full 200g cake, you will likely need to break it apart first to fit it comfortably inside the large jar.
