Yellow Washi box with floral patterns and colorful Japanese wave designs
Japanese tea caddy
Bold orange seigaiha waves unfurl in friezes across a deep black ground: we named this caddy Yunami, meaning "evening waves" in Japanese, for its colours of a setting sun over the sea. Crafted from tinplate and dressed in washi paper, this tea caddy holds around 200 g of tea and keeps it safe from light, moisture and outside aromas. A caddy with real character, warm enough to brighten any shelf and equally at home with black teas, rooibos and autumn herbal infusions.
product details
In our workshop in Provence, each blend is handcrafted with passion by our team.
Real pieces of dried fruit, whole plants and carefully selected teas of origin.
Carefully crafted to create unforgettable tasting moments. A signature taste, an authentic experience.
Seigaiha is one of Japan's oldest patterns: concentric arcs layering over one another like endless waves, a symbol of peace and quiet good fortune. Here, it unfolds in vivid orange against lightly satin-finished black washi paper, wrapping around the tin in steady bands. From a distance, you notice the color first, warm and unapologetic. Up close, the curve of each wave reveals itself. It was this contrast that gave the tin its name, Yunami (夕波), "the evening waves."
Tea has four natural enemies: light, moisture, heat, and strong odors. An opaque, well-sealed tin protects against the first three, as long as it's stored away from the stovetop and the spice cupboard. Ideally, keep one tea per tin: leaves absorb the scent of whatever is nearby, especially flavored blends.
To clean, a dry cloth is all you need. Washi paper is not fond of water, so avoid damp sponges and the dishwasher.
At 200 g, this tin holds the tea you reach for every day. Its ember tones pair naturally with black teas, rooibos, and the warming infusions of autumn. Filled with your favorite blend, it also makes a gift worth keeping long after the last cup.
