Your leaves
Will it keep my tea fresh?
That’s what it’s for. The lid is lined with fabric, so it sits snugly in the opening, and the opaque ceramic keeps out the light that dulls loose leaves.
Keep it somewhere cool and dry, away from the stove and from strong smells, and your tea keeps its aroma for longer.
A small joy
Why a cat?
The cat on the lid is inspired by the beckoning cat, a traditional symbol of good luck. With its closed eyes and gold whiskers, it simply looks content.
A little guardian on the shelf, and a reason to smile each time you reach for the tea.

How much tea does it hold?
It holds 230 ml, so roughly 30 to 80 g of loose-leaf tea, depending on the leaf: more for tightly rolled oolong or sencha, less for light, fluffy white tea. The opening is about 5.5 cm wide, easy for a tea spoon.
Can I keep something else in it?
Of course. It suits herbal blends, coffee beans, sugar or small treats, or anything you’d like to keep tidy on a shelf. Use one caddy per tea, so the aromas don’t mix.
Do the colours look exactly like the photos?
Very close, but each glaze can vary slightly from one caddy to the next, and the gold details on the lid differ a little too. Screens also show colours differently.
How do I clean it?
Wash the jar by hand with warm water, then let it dry completely before filling it again. Wipe the lid with a dry cloth rather than soaking it, to keep the fabric lining intact. Not suitable for the dishwasher or the microwave, because of the gold details.
Is it a good gift?
A lovely one, on its own or with a pouch of their favourite tea. Choose a colour for each person, or two for a pair. Delivery takes 7–14 days in total, Monday to Friday (2–4 days processing, then 5–10 days shipping, both Monday to Friday), so order a little ahead for a birthday.
What if it arrives broken, or I change my mind?
If anything arrives damaged, send us a photo and we’ll send a replacement or refund you in full. You can also return it within 30 days of delivery: see our returns and refunds policy.
