Asahi Stainless Steel Chazutsu Tea Caddy

nice stainless steel

The interior lid of this $28 canister was very loose (I bought two same issue) compared to a $10 Yamacoh Tin tea canister which is very good value (reinforced lip) and a tight lid closure.I also bought $62 Asahi Copper Chazutsu tea caddy which also had a tighter fit for the lid. One stainless steel canister had a lot of grinding dust on the walls. so it required several repetitive cleaning. I will use the two stainless steel canisters for my cheaper teas. A good air seal is important. Otherwise a nice product.
