Small Sakura Cherry Bark Tea Caddy

This absolutely gorgeous tea caddy has been crafted entirely from the wood and bark of the cherry tree—a rich, dark wood ideal for making these sustainably produced, air-tight canisters. Keeping in the theme of cherries, delicate cherry blossoms have been carefully inlaid into the canister using almond-colored walnut wood. The talented artisans who create these pieces employ a snug-fitting inner lid within a secondary outer lid, ensuring your loose-leaf teas are kept well-sealed and air-tight.

The ingenious way in which the cherry wood is prepared for the construction of these canisters allows for the fine grain pattern and intimate details of the polished bark to shine through. This laborious process of scraping and polishing the cherry bark makes each artisan-crafted tea canister unique, with no two being exactly the same.

While much loved for its rich amber color, cherry wood is also renowned for its antibacterial properties and ability to maintain moderate humidity levels, all factors that contribute to an exceptional tea storage canister. The amber hue of cherry bark continues to quietly deepen over time and use, further darkening the wood's rich patina and beautiful sheen.
