SILINE Yixing Clay Tea Canister

Yixing Zisha clay is naturally porous, which allows the tea leaves to 'breathe' while protecting them from external moisture and odors. This unique material helps stabilize the environment inside the canister, preserving the tea's complex aroma and flavor profile better than non-porous materials like glass or stainless steel.

Yes, over time, the porous nature of the clay will absorb the oils and aromas of the tea stored within it. Because of this, it is best to dedicate this canister to a single type of tea—such as Pu-erh or Oolong—to avoid cross-contamination of flavors.

Avoid using soap or harsh detergents, as the clay will absorb those chemicals and taint your tea. Simply wipe the interior with a clean, dry cloth or rinse it with warm water and allow it to air dry completely before refilling.

The lid is designed to fit snugly to create a protective seal against moisture and odors. While it is not a vacuum-sealed container, it provides sufficient protection for maintaining the freshness of loose-leaf tea in a standard kitchen environment.

This canister has a capacity of 17.5 ounces (520 ml). Depending on the density and leaf size of your tea, this typically holds enough loose-leaf tea for several weeks of daily brewing.
