Floral metal tin with a seventies spirit, perfect for preserving tea
Metal Tea Caddy
A red sun rising over seigaiha waves, a soft cream background, a few white plum blossoms: Tsukihi is written in Japanese with the characters for moon and sun, and this version captures the daytime side. Handcrafted in Japan, in tinplate wrapped in washi paper, this tall Japanese tea caddy keeps around 200 g of tea sheltered from light, moisture and outside aromas. It forms a pair with the Tsukihi Midnight Blue, its lunar counterpart.
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.
In Japanese, tsukihi (月日) brings together two characters: the moon and the sun. Together, they also mean the passing of days. This tin is the solar version of that pairing. A large red disc takes center stage in the design, with seigaiha waves — a traditional motif of peace and good fortune — drawn across it in white. Around it: a luminous cream background, blush-toned diamond shapes, a sand-colored hillside, and white plum blossoms set against a corner of midnight blue. Gold trim on both the lid and base completes the piece.
Tea has four natural enemies: light, moisture, heat, and strong odors. An opaque, airtight tin protects against the first three, as long as it's kept away from the stovetop and the spice cabinet. It's best to store one tea per tin: leaves quickly absorb the scent of their neighbors, especially flavored teas.
For upkeep, a dry cloth is all you need. Washi paper and water don't mix well, so avoid damp sponges and the dishwasher.
At 200 g, this tin holds your morning tea with ease, or a large-leafed variety like a white tea or an oolong. Placed alongside the Tsukihi Midnight Blue, the two form a sun-and-moon duo: a simple way to keep your morning tea separate from your evening infusion, or to gift both together.
