FAQs

What is the capacity of this tea canister?

The canister has a capacity of approximately 600ml.

What materials is the canister made from?

The main body is made from durable enamel, and the lid is crafted from bamboo.

Can I put this canister in the dishwasher?

No, the enamel canister should only be hand washed. The bamboo lid should also be hand cleaned and never submerged in water.

Are there other designs or sizes available?

This canister is part of a range that includes other designs and canisters for coffee, sugar, and decaf. Please check the product listings for available options.

How does the lid keep the tea fresh?

The bamboo lid is designed to fit snugly, creating a seal that helps to keep air and moisture out, thus preserving the aroma and flavor of your herbal teas.

Is the design suitable for all kitchen styles?

The Asian-inspired design offers a unique aesthetic. While it can complement various styles, it is particularly suited for kitchens aiming for a touch of exotic or eclectic decor.

Troubleshooting

Tea not staying fresh

Ensure the bamboo lid is properly seated to create an airtight seal. Check for any debris on the rim or lid that might be preventing a tight closure. Consider storing teas that are more sensitive to air in a smaller, more frequently used container.

Enamel container has a small chip

Minor chips on enamel can be unsightly but do not typically affect food safety if the underlying metal is not exposed and rusted. For aesthetic reasons, you may choose to use it for less visible storage or as a decorative item. Avoid using chipped containers for long-term storage if the chip is significant.

Bamboo lid appears dry or is developing small cracks

Apply a thin layer of food-safe mineral oil to the bamboo lid using a soft cloth. Allow it to absorb for a few hours, then wipe off any excess. Repeat this process monthly or as needed to keep the bamboo moisturized.
