GATO MIKIO Long Shaped Large Tea Container HISHI

This filigrane tea container is a wonderful combination of Japanese woodcraft and modern design. The rills on the surface of the tea container are handmade by highly skilled craftsmen, giving the object a very dynamic and elegant touch. The cherry birch does not only feel great in your hand, but together with the tight cap it perfectly protects the contents of the container from humidity and other factors. The additional inner cap prohibits air to get into contact with the container's contents. 

In Japan, this container is mainly used to store green tea, But it also can be used to store coffee, herbs, spices or other food with a delicate flavor.

This tea container has been selected to be part of the "THE WONDER 500" collection. This collection has been made by the Ministry of Econoy of Japan in order to promoted great Japanese products overseas.
