Kotodo Tea Canister

The canister features a precision-engineered inner lid designed specifically to block out moisture and air. While it is excellent for preserving the freshness of loose-leaf tea over several months, it is not vacuum-sealed, so it is best suited for tea you plan to consume regularly.

The lid is designed to rotate until it clicks into place, which ensures the pattern on the lid perfectly aligns with the body of the canister. It serves as both a tactile indicator that the lid is properly seated and a way to maintain the seamless aesthetic of the design.

Yes, it is food-safe and works well for storing coffee beans, spices, or dried herbs. However, keep in mind the 200g capacity is calibrated for tea leaves, so denser items may fit differently.

Because each piece is crafted by hand, you should expect subtle variations in the finish and the washi-wrapping. These slight differences are intentional and highlight the artisanal nature of the construction rather than being defects.

Wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth to maintain the finish. Avoid submerging the canister in water or using harsh detergents, as this can damage the washi-wrapping and the tin-plated steel.
