Kaikado Tea Canister - Brass

Kaikado Tea Canister - Brass | 開化堂 - 黃銅茶罐

These handmade brass tea canisters have a double-walled design which guarantees excellent air tightness, protecting your tea from sunshine and humidity and keeping it nice and fresh.

Once the joint line on the lid and body are aligned, the lid falls slowly and smoothly on its own, expelling the excess air on the way down.

With an elegant, minimalist design, these tea canisters are left unlacquered intentionally, so every time they are handled, they change colour tone and develop a rich patina unique to each person or household. Like fine wine, they are appreciated more with age, becoming heirlooms to pass down to future generations.

Caring for your Kaikado Tea Canister

If they do get wet, wipe them with a dry cloth until all the moisture is gone.
Store them in a cool dry place.
