Tea Canister Kaede

Handmade from the bark of cherry blossom trees, this Tea Canister or chazutsu uses only selected bark from trees that have endured strong winds and snow. The artisans use eco-friendly traditional methods to gather the bark, ensuring that the wood will grow back even after harvesting. Sheets of cherry bark are wrapped around a wooden mold, and then ironed together with a heated metal trowel. As a result, this produces an air tight and light, yet firm tea canister.  The cherry wood absorbs moisture, fights bacterial growth, and  preserves the freshness of your tea by maintaining the ideal humidity level. Lightweight but durable, a perfect tea canister for holding your favorite premium tea leaves.
