Tea Canister Kurumi

Handcrafted from wild cherry bark, this traditional Japanese tea canister (chazutsu) is made using time-honored techniques passed down through generations of artisans. Each piece uses bark carefully selected from trees that have withstood years of snow and wind, harvested with eco-conscious methods that allow the trees to regrow.

Sheets of cherry bark are wrapped around a wooden core and sealed with a heated metal trowel, creating a beautifully smooth, airtight vessel. Naturally antibacterial and moisture-regulating, the cherry wood helps preserve the flavor and freshness of premium loose leaf tea by maintaining ideal humidity.

Because each chazutsu is handmade, no two are exactly alike—every piece is a unique reflection of natural materials and craftsmanship. The Kurumi (胡桃) finish, named after the Japanese word for walnut, features a soft, natural light walnut tone that adds quiet sophistication and earthy warmth to your tea ritual. More than just storage, it is a timeless expression of Japanese craftsmanship, made for both beauty and utility.
