Description
Crafted entirely from the bark and wood of the cherry tree, the Small Rustic Cherry Bark Tea Caddy is both practical and beautiful. Its clever double-lid design features an inner fitted lid and an outer cover that slips smoothly into place, ensuring an airtight seal to keep loose-leaf teas fresh and aromatic.
The natural surface showcases the fine grain and subtle textures of unpolished cherry bark, giving each piece its own character. Because the bark is used in its raw form, no two caddies are ever exactly alike, making each one a singular expression of Japanese craftsmanship.
Cherry wood is cherished not only for its warm, amber tones but also for its natural antibacterial qualities and ability to maintain gentle humidity. These properties make the caddy ideal for storing delicate teas, protecting both their fragrance and flavor. Compact yet distinctive, it offers a refined way to enjoy and preserve the ritual of tea.

Cherry Bark Work
Cherry bark work, known as Kabazaiku, is a traditional craft from Kakunodate in Akita Prefecture, northern Japan. It dates back to the late 18th century, when local samurai developed this unique technique using the bark of mountain cherry trees. The barkfs smooth sheen and deep natural color give each piece a warm, elegant finish that grows richer over time. Valued for its strength and ability to regulate humidity, it is ideal for tea canisters, trays, and other daily items. Passed down for more than 250 years, Kabazaiku continues to reflect the refined craftsmanship and quiet beauty of Japanfs northern tradition.Tea Caddies
