Know before you buy
The Yu-zen washi paper is high-quality and designed for longevity, but it is a delicate material. To keep it looking its best, avoid getting the exterior wet and handle it with clean, dry hands.
Yes, the gold tin steel inner lid is designed to create a secure, airtight seal. This helps protect your tea or coffee from moisture and air, ensuring the contents stay fresh for longer.
Absolutely. While it is sized perfectly for tea leaves or coffee beans, the BPA-free construction makes it safe for storing other dry goods like spices, herbs, or small snacks.
Because the exterior is wrapped in traditional washi paper, you should not submerge the canister in water. Simply wipe the interior with a dry cloth and use a soft, slightly damp cloth on the exterior if necessary, taking care to avoid the paper.
This canister holds approximately 2.4 ounces of coffee beans. It is best suited for smaller portions or specialty beans rather than a standard 12-ounce bag.
