This tea caddy is a collaboration between Denshiro, a 170-year-old Kabazaiku maker in Akita Prefecture, and Nousaku, a long-established metal casting manufacturer in Takaoka, Toyama Prefecture. The brass used for this tea caddy’s belt and knob will evolve in both colour and appearance over time, developing a calm shine with use. Similarly, the cherry bark of its body also goes through a change and undertakes a glossy texture over time. The beauty in the evolution of these materials is something we can appreciate and enjoy.

Care Instructions

- Storing tea leaves in the products will maintain the appropriate humidity and keep them in the best condition.

- Wipe products occasionally with a soft cloth along the grain of the wood.
- Use products for their intended purpose only.
- To avoid peeling, keep away from water.
- Do not leave in highly humid conditions for an extended period of time.
