Made in Japan, Aizome Blue Japanese Canisters are made by the traditional blue dyeing method of Japanese “washi” paper that spanned hundreds of years ago. Now, these tins are made with the modern designs and methods. There are 6 different designs. This is the 5th design. The tins hold approximately 7oz of tea leaves. Product

Like it I bought several of these at once. They are very pretty and full of color. All of my tea tins are blue and it gives me the opportunity to keep up with that trend. It’s a tea tins, and it serves it’s purpose. The only thing that I don’t like about it, is that I had dumped all of my tea in it, and then I wanted to put the tea in plastic Ziploc bags to keep it fresh a little longer, especially since it can get humid, and it was hard to get the tea out of the crevices in the bottom. Some of them…
Pretty My preferred tea, Mariage Freres, comes in tins, usually, but it is less expensive to buy it in refill bags, plus sometimes I will buy tea at Teavana when I am in a hipster-tolerant mood. I just don’t think those flimsy paper bags keep tea as fresh as it should be. These Ryu Mei tea tins (I bought two) do the job, and they are quite decorative as well.
Five Stars super tight, keeps tea fresh
