Mirror-Finished Hammered Copper Tea Canister / Handcrafted in Tsubame

Beautiful tea deserves beautiful storage.

Handcrafted in Tsubame City, Niigata Prefecture—Japan's renowned center of metal craftsmanship—this elegant tea canister combines traditional techniques with timeless design.

Made from copper, the canister features a brilliant mirror-polished finish accented by a finely hammered texture that catches the light from every angle. Each piece is carefully crafted by skilled artisans, resulting in subtle variations that reflect the beauty of handmade craftsmanship.

Designed for everyday use, the canister includes a snug-fitting inner lid that helps protect loose leaf tea from light, air, and moisture, preserving its freshness and aroma. The interior is plated to protect both the copper and your tea, while the brass inner lid provides a secure seal.

Over time, the exterior copper develops a natural patina unique to each owner, making every canister a one-of-a-kind piece that becomes more beautiful with age.

Whether displayed on your tea shelf or used daily, this tea canister is both a practical storage container and a lasting example of Japanese craftsmanship.
