Japan, known as the land of sacred mountains, provides the perfect inspiration for the stylized mountain motif of our “Yama” tea tin. Many peaks are revered as sacred places . There is even a spiritual order of their own, the “Yamabushi”, who live in close connection with nature in Japan’s picturesque mountain regions.
This box is made from a special lacquer mixture extracted from the sap of the lacquer tree, which requires several coats to create a sturdy and glossy finish. Its production requires a lot of skill and patience and is a traditional craft that has been practiced in Japan for centuries.
“Yama” is a so-called “ Natsume tin ” that plays a central role in the traditional tea ceremony . It is specially designed for storing high-quality matcha that is only added shortly before serving. For optimal long-term storage, we recommend sealing the matcha airtight in the bag provided and storing it in the tin.
Whether as a gift for matcha enthusiasts or as an enrichment for your own home - the "Yama" tea caddy brings real Japanese flair into your life. Let yourself be enchanted by this special work of art and experience the deep connection to Japanese tea culture.
