Japanese Tea Canister Red and Green Washi Paper - AKA MIDORI MOMIJI - 200g

Yu-zen Washi Tin Canister 7 oz (200g), Paper Washi, AKA MIDORI MOMIJI

The Yu-zen Washi Tin Canister, designed by Kotodo, is a beautifully crafted tea storage container that marries traditional Japanese techniques with modern manufacturing precision. This canister is designed to preserve the delicate quality of your tea by protecting it from moisture and light. With a refined aesthetic inspired by the Japanese Seigaiha pattern, this canister is as functional as it is decorative.

Product Features:

• Traditional Craftsmanship: The canister's design incorporates traditional features such as a metal inner lid, ensuring airtightness and preventing exposure to humidity, which is essential for preserving tea. The overlapping body and lid construction further enhances its moisture protection, making it ideal for humid climates.

• Clicking Lid: One of the distinctive features of the canister is its "clicking cover." The lid clicks into place as the patterns of the lid and body align perfectly, giving a satisfying and audible confirmation of a secure closure. This is a hallmark of Kotodo’s handmade process.

• Airtight Metal Inner Lid: The inner lid is made of high-grade tin with a gold finish, ensuring the canister’s airtight seal and preventing exposure to light, humidity, and air. Unlike plastic lids, the tin lid remains airtight throughout the year without expanding or contracting with temperature changes. This design helps preserve the aromas and freshness of the contents.

• Premium Material: The canister is crafted from high-quality tin-plated steel, a material prized for its elegance and durability in Japan. It is a versatile and eco-friendly material, 100% recyclable and commonly used to maintain the ideal storage conditions for delicate tea leaves.

• Safety Considerations: The edges of the canister’s lid and body are meticulously beveled inward to prevent injury. Additionally, Kotodo has stopped using leaded solder, opting instead for electric welding with lead-free, food-grade materials, ensuring the safety of its users.

• Signature Mark: Every canister is embossed with Kotodo’s signature on the bottom, reflecting its authenticity and the craftsmanship behind it.

Product Care:

• Not suitable for liquids or dishwasher, microwave, or oven use.
• Clean with a dry cloth or a dampened cloth followed by a dry one. Avoid exposing the canister to water to prevent rust.
• Store in a dry place, and avoid contact with moisture.
• For best preservation of contents, storing the canister in the refrigerator is recommended, but avoid temperature changes that could cause condensation and rusting.
