This is an elegant copper tea canister produced by Azmaya, using the traditional technique by skilled artisans in Niigata. The airtight construction of this canister comes along with its incredible precisely fitting inner lid, help protect tea leaves from humidity and moisture, enhancing the freshness, flavour, & scent of its contents by preventing them from drying out over longer periods of storage time. In addition to tea, the canisters are useful for storing many other impermanent products such as spices, grains, or coffee.

Known for its high antibacterial & antimicrobial properties, which is ideal for tea storage, each 100% copper canister is crafted as a seamless tube using a single plate rolled out evenly as an integral form, then coated in a protective layer of wax which gradually wears away as the surface develops its characteristically rich patina over time.

Silver Tea Canisters are tin plated over the base copper, helping in preventing the otherwise inevitable chemical oxidation of the more vulnerable metal now well shielded underneath. The tin-plated texture gradually transitions from a high shine to a deeper silver over time, a process also accelerated by extended handling and use.

Matching tin-plated Copper Tea Scoops are engineered for picking up the perfect measured amount of tea leaves with a single scoop, adding a satisfying and graceful touch to your daily preparation of tea.
