Beautifully preserving tea leaves for rich tea time
The tea caddy holds 150g. The materials are lightweight yet sturdy, made with reliable steel. Its high light-blocking properties prevent the tea leaves’ aroma from fading due to light exposure.
The inner lid is also made of steel with high airtightness, protecting the tea leaves from moisture and keeping their freshness. You can always enjoy delicious tea. The inner lid has a handle for easy opening and closing.
You can also lock in proper moisture and temperature, making it recommended for storing ingredients you want to protect from humidity such as tea leaves, tea bags, herbal teas, coffee beans, dried foods, spices, and sweets.
You can even combine it with sweets and tea to create a petite gift set, or use it as a small container.
A perfect item that combines practicality and a refined touch to quietly enrich your daily tea time.

Wishes and prayers woven into the plum blossom pattern
Plum blossoms for health and protection from disasters
A delicate flower that blooms resiliently amid cold winds. With a faint sweet fragrance, it heralds the early arrival of spring.
The deep red, pink, and white colors of the quiet winter scenery evoke a breath of life.
Many ancient Japanese songs in the oldest anthology "Manyoshu" feature the plum blossom as a theme, enchanting people from long ago.
Speaking of plum blossoms as good luck charms, there is "Daifukucha," a tea made by steeping dried plum and kombu seaweed. Its origin traces back to the mid-Heian period when the emperor drank it during illness and recovered.
It has since been consumed wishing for a year free of illness and disasters.
The colors are divided into warm red tones and
bright and pop yellow tones, offering a two-color selection. While the colors harmonize softly, each has its own personality, making it perfect to brighten your tea time.
※ Since large sheets are cut to make the paper, there are individual differences in the placement of the patterns. Please understand this in advance.
