Cherry Bark Tea Caddy - Wide

This tea caddy is from Tomioka Shoten in Akita Prefecture, made using a traditional technique called Kabazaiku. The tea canisters are carefully wrapped in bark from wild mountain cherry trees. Although extremely delicate and difficult to work with in its raw state, once applied and polished, the bark's natural antibacterial properties create an ideal environment for tea leaf. This is the wide form - we also carry a tall form and a canister / tea scoop set. 100g W7.3cm×H8.0cm
