Ao-ko Blue Matsuri Japanese Washi Tea Tin
These washi paper covered tea tins are designed with traditional Japanese patterns and handcrafted technique. The term Washi means Japanese paper. These papers inspire strength, beauty, and quality. Traditional Washi is a fine paper made from fibers of the Gampi tree, the Misumata Shrub, the Mulberry bush, Bamboo, Hemp, Rice, and other natural materials. The fibers, bark, flower petals, and other inclusions provide great texture and character to these papers from Japan.
Washi paper is stronger and more durable than most ordinary paper. It provides a great base to use in arts. These tea tins have an inner lid to ensure airtight storage, keeping your tea leaves fresh.

Beautiful tea container. Airtight and a good size
Edit: really great customer service! I never reached out to the shop, they just read my review and asked if they could send a replacement, which I thought was very kind, especially since the tear in the paper is just an aesthetic problem. Please feel like you're in good hands when you order. 🙂
Item came a bit damaged, with some of the decorative washi paper ripped off by the packaging tape. It's beautiful and generously sized, though. I have it turned so you can't see the rip, but it's a little sad!
Beautiful cherry blossom teacups! Thanks!
