Sakura Wood
Hancrafted
From Akita, Japan

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 Kaede (楓) finish, named after the Japanese word for maple, features a soft oak wood color that adds warmth and quiet elegance to your tea ritual. More than just storage, it is a timeless expression of Japanese craftsmanship, made for both beauty and utility.

鉄瓶を使った煎茶の淹れ方

HOW TO BREW SENCHA WITH A TETSUBIN

Step 1 Fill tetsubin with fresh, filtered water. Place directly on the stove to boil.

Step 2 Pour water into cups to warm the cup and cool down the water. You can also use a yuzamashi water cooler.

Step 3 Pour water over tea leaves. Recommended water temperature for this Sencha is 176°F (80°C). It typically takes 1 minute to cool to ideal temperature. The flavor will be lighter and sweeter when brewed at lower water temperatures such as 158°F (70°C). Try different brew times and temperatures to find your preference.

Step 4 Steep for 1-2 minutes. All of our teas can be steeped up to 3 times.
