Handmade in Kakunodate Town in Akita Prefecture, Japan, DENSHIRO has been producing craftware using cherry bark known as "Kabazaiku" since 1851. Family-owned for six generations, these tea canisters are made of wild cherry bark with traditional techniques that remain unchanged to this day. Using the same parts of the tree to build the whole canister results in producing a tight seal, protecting the tea leaves from moisture and keeping them fresh. Kabazaiku is a sustainable process that allows the mountain cherry trees to regenerate their barks naturally after harvesting, and is an artisanal craft that has been handed down only in Akita, and nowhere else in the world. Pair with DENSHIRO's TEA SPOON.
