Know before you buy
The double-lid system creates an extra seal that minimizes air exposure. This added layer of protection is essential for keeping delicate loose-leaf teas fresh and preventing them from absorbing moisture or odors from your kitchen.
The tin holds between 2 to 6 ounces depending on the density of the tea. Denser, tightly rolled teas like pearls or gunpowder will fit closer to the 6-ounce limit, while light, fluffy tisanes or large-leaf whites will fill the tin at approximately 2 ounces.
Yes, the tin is hand-wrapped in traditional, durable Japanese washi paper. While it is a delicate-looking material, it is designed to withstand regular handling, though it should be kept away from direct water or high-humidity areas to maintain its appearance.
The Kazuko Washi Tin stands 6 inches tall with a diameter of 3 inches. Its compact, cylindrical shape is designed to fit easily into most standard kitchen cabinets or tea drawers.
To clean, simply wipe the interior with a dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using water or harsh detergents, as moisture can damage the washi paper exterior and potentially cause the metal interior to rust.
