Kotodo Tin

Crafted from eco-friendly, lead-free tin steel, these elegant canisters are a sophisticated and practical choice for tea enthusiasts and the recommended storage vessel for Rishi teas.



Elevate your tea storage with our elegant matte black Kotodo Tins, an attractive and premium alternative to our copper storage tins. Handmade in Japan by the renowned Kotodo Takahashi Corporation, these multipurpose canisters boast more than 110 years of craftsmanship and tradition. Each tin features an airtight cap and an additional interior lid, ensuring your loose leaf teas or pyramid sachets remain fresh and flavorful.

Crafted from lead-free, food-grade tin steel, Kotodo Tins offer superior protection against light, air and humidity, keeping your teas and dried foods fresh all year round. Tin-plated steel is considered a premium material in Japan and is 100% recyclable, making these canisters an environmentally friendly choice.

The smooth, friction-minimizing surface prolongs the life of the washi paper, while the airtight steel inner lid maintains the perfect environment for your tea. For added safety, the edges of the canisters are rolled slightly inward to prevent injuries. These tins are ideal for storing delicate tea leaves, and they are our recommended storage vessel for Garden Direct seasonal teas.

    Elegant and Functional

    We had these older tea tins that were extremely difficult to open, and this has been a godsend for me. Black, sleek, elegant and easy to open all while keeping the tea very fresh. I’ll be ordering a second one with my next tea order.

    The delicacy of the product and the price do not make sense to me, but I am happy with the product overall. I ordered two 600 gram Kotodo tins, and both of them arrived with significant denting. One of the tins I was able to undo the dents without leaving any marks, but the other tin’s dent was much deeper and left some marks after undoing the dent.

    Very nice. Lightweight, nice tactile finish from the lacquer.

    The tins arrived quickly and in perfect condition. The 200g tins seem very versatile. The 600g tins feel significantly larger — they are very easy to clean/wipe down.
