Appreciate the metal colour and lustre that improve with use.
A hand-made tea caddy offered by Japan’s oldest specialty store.

Each tea caddy is made by hand from copper, tin, brass or silver material. This product boasts an elaborate structure, which can be realized only when made by hand, and a high degree of airtightness because of the perfect fit of the cap and body. This is an ideal container for tea or coffee. Another attraction is that the metal colours and the lustre change over the years through contact with the air and hands. Some articles feature patterns produced through corrosion. Requests for repairs are also accepted.
