Kaikado for A&S
Chazutsu (tea canister) with Chasaji (teaspoon)
SPECIAL
A&S special order tea canister and teaspoon set by Kaikado in Kyoto. The tea canister is a small size designed to hold 100 grams of sencha, perfect for enjoying a single serving. The teaspoon fits precisely over the canister’s inner lid. Both items are crafted from traditional sheets and made by skilled artisans through a meticulous process of over 130 steps. The canister is highly airtight and practical, and over 30 to 40 years, it will develop a rich patina, changing from silver to gray and then black. Both the tea canister and teaspoon are made of tinplate and feature the engraved key logo.
【Kaikado】Established in 1875. Long-established tea caddy store in Kyoto with the oldest history in Japan. The shop continues to maintain the method that has been used since the first generation, using consistent handmade techniques. The beauty of the tea caddies, with their original austere beauty, increases with time. The precision with which the lid closes of its own accord, a characteristic of Kaikado tea caddies, can only be achieved by handwork.
