Know before you buy
The internal double lid creates an extra barrier against air and moisture, which are the primary enemies of tea leaf quality. By minimizing exposure to oxygen, it ensures your tea retains its delicate aroma and flavor profile for much longer than a standard single-lid canister.
The canister features a traditional finger-polished lacquer, which provides a sophisticated, deep-black aesthetic. While it is durable, it is a polished surface, so it is best to handle it with care to maintain its pristine appearance over time.
The 150g capacity is based on standard tea leaf density. Keep in mind that fluffier teas, such as white teas or large-leaf oolongs, may take up more volume and might not fit the full 150g, whereas denser rolled teas like gunpowder green tea will fit easily.
Yes, the stainless steel interior is food-safe and non-reactive, meaning it won't impart any metallic taste to your tea. It is also naturally resistant to odors, ensuring that the unique notes of one tea blend won't linger after you've cleaned the canister for a new refill.
The canister has a diameter of 9 cm and stands 14.5 cm tall. Its compact, round shape is designed to fit comfortably on most standard kitchen shelves or tea cabinets.
