Know before you buy
No, this container is not airtight. It is specifically designed with a ceramic lid that allows for gentle air circulation, which is essential for the proper aging of teas like Pu Erh and Heicha.
The holder has a volume capacity of approximately 80 to 150 ml. The exact amount of tea it can hold will depend on the density and leaf size of the specific variety you are storing.
No, this piece is not dishwasher safe. Due to the handcrafted nature of the ceramic, we recommend cleaning it gently by hand with a soft cloth and avoiding harsh detergents.
This holder is ideal for teas that benefit from aging or controlled exposure to air, such as Pu Erh, Heicha, white, black, and oolong teas. The glazed interior provides a protective environment while the lid facilitates the necessary airflow.
The lid features a press-fit design, but it is not leak-proof or airtight. It is intended for stationary storage on a shelf or counter rather than for travel or transporting loose contents.
