Crafted in Kyoto since 1875, Kaikado tea canisters are a masterpiece of precision and tradition. Handmade using over 130 meticulous steps, each canister closes effortlessly—no pushing or pressing required. Simply align the seams, and the lid will gently descend, expelling air for a naturally airtight seal.

Perfect for storing tea, coffee, beans, seeds, and more, these canisters develop a unique patina over time, shaped by their environment and use.

Please Note: These items are FINAL SALE. Once unwrapped, the oxidation process begins, making each piece one of a kind. Patina develops based on handling, light exposure, and air, ensuring your canister tells its own story.

Care:

- Do not wash the caddy (each caddy has been sanitized from maker before packaging and ready to use)

- Do not place the caddy in a refrigerator or freezer as the material is susceptible to moisture and humidity.

- If you should get water on your caddy, please wipe it off with a soft dry cloth and gently rub caddy to avoid moisture spots.

- After your purchase you will perceive a normal yet subtle change in the color tone of your canister: copper in 2-3 months, brass in 1-2 years and tin in 3-5 years. Like fine wine the canister will becomes even more appreciated with age.

- It is important to lift the top of the caddy lid softly from the body in order to prevent any possibility of damage.

- When closing the caddy lid please adjust the joint line on the lid with the joint line on the body. This will allow the lid to go down slowly by itself and the air will be released from the caddy. Gently push the lid at the last moment. This will prevent air from entering the caddy.
