Great Zakka Washi Paper Tea Tin

The tin features a dual-lid system: a tight-fitting plastic inner seal that creates an airtight barrier, topped by a sliding outer lid. This combination is highly effective at blocking out moisture and air, which are the primary enemies of loose-leaf tea freshness.

No, this tin is not dishwasher safe. Because the exterior is wrapped in delicate washi paper, submerging it in water or using harsh detergents will damage the finish. We recommend wiping the exterior with a dry cloth and hand-washing the interior only if absolutely necessary, ensuring it is dried completely before refilling.

The tin holds approximately 100 grams (3.53 ounces) of loose-leaf tea. Keep in mind that the volume can vary slightly depending on the density of the tea leaves; fluffy, whole-leaf teas may take up more space than tightly rolled oolong or matcha powder.

The washi paper is decorative and adds a traditional texture, but it is not waterproof or scratch-proof. While it is durable enough for regular handling on a kitchen counter, you should avoid getting it wet or storing it in high-humidity areas like directly next to a boiling kettle.

Absolutely. While designed for tea, the airtight seal makes it an excellent vessel for any dry goods that need protection from air, such as coffee beans, spices, or even small pantry staples. Just ensure the contents are dry, as the metal interior is not designed for liquids or wet ingredients.
