Know before you buy
The double lid creates an extra barrier against air and moisture, which are the primary enemies of tea freshness. By sealing the canister more securely than a single-lid design, it effectively locks in the delicate aromas and flavors of your premium tea leaves.
Yes, the opaque metal construction is ideal for all tea varieties, including green, black, and oolong. Because it blocks out light, it prevents the oxidation and degradation that can occur when tea is exposed to sunlight.
No, this canister is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the integrity of the lacquered finish and the airtight seal, we recommend cleaning it by hand with a soft, dry cloth or a slightly damp cloth if necessary.
The 150g capacity is a standard measurement based on typical loose-leaf tea density. Keep in mind that fluffier teas, like white tea or large-leaf oolongs, may take up more volume, so you might fit slightly less than 150g by weight.
The canister is crafted from durable metal and finished with a protective lacquer, which helps prevent rust. However, it is designed for dry storage only, so avoid using it to store liquids or placing it in humid environments like directly next to a stovetop.
