Product Information

Given the long history of drinking tea in Japanese culture, the tea canister has come to be of great importance in Japan.

A Japanese tea canister is called a “chazutsu” and is traditionally used to store green tea. It is also a vital part of the Japanese tea ceremony, where tea is not only a question of taste but also a question of aesthetics - what is presented and how it is presented is of utmost importance.

There are two types of tea canisters called Natsume and Chaire. The Natsume has been designed to store thin tea powder, while the Chaire is best for thick tea, known as koicha, or even leafy tea such as sencha. The Natsume is generally of artificial or natural wood.

Today, in Japan the tea ceremony is still popular and is considered to be an art, equivalent to calligraphy or origami. Nowadays, accessories used traditionally in the tea ceremony have become a part of Japanese daily life and can be found in almost every kitchen in Japan. And while the tea canisters are made to store tea, they have also become an aesthetic container that can be used to store other items from your kitchen or bathroom, or of course for any other tea or coffee!

Every tea lover knows that it is important to keep tea leaves or tea powder as far from moisture as much as possible. This is why all the Japanese tea canisters in our selection have an outer lid and an inner lid to ensure air-tightness.

With their elegant patterns and designs, they also make perfect gifts!
