{"product_id":"ru-kiln-crackle-ceramic-tea-caddy-fitted-lid","title":"Ru Kiln Crackle Ceramic Tea Caddy — Fitted Lid, 200ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a tea caddy — a small ceramic jar for keeping the tea you drink daily close and fresh. The Ru-kiln crackle glaze forms in firing so no two pieces are exactly alike, and the fitted lid with its antique-style metal ring knob keeps loose-leaf tea away from air and light between uses. The decorative hanging plaque is a nod to traditional tea culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize is intentional. A caddy that holds only what you drink in one to two weeks means the tea in it stays fresh. A half-empty large container does the opposite: more air, faster fade. At 200ml, this holds about 20–40g of loose-leaf tea depending on leaf density — exactly the right range for a daily habit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt will also hold a small amount of matcha powder, dried herbs, coffee beans, or anything else you want to keep close and sealed. But it is designed and sized for loose-leaf tea first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRu-kiln crackle-glaze ceramic body — each piece has a unique crackle pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitted lid with antique-style metal ring knob\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecorative hanging plaque — traditional tea culture detail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapacity: ~200ml (holds 20–40g loose-leaf tea)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 7.6 cm diameter × 9.3 cm tall (2.99 × 3.66 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in Cream and Ru Kiln Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFill with one tea at a time, press the lid closed, and keep it out of direct sun. Refill as you finish — the goal is to keep it full enough that there is not much empty air above the tea. Works for loose-leaf green, white, oolong, black, or herbal. Also holds a 30g bag of matcha powder with room to spare, though for matcha an airtight tin is preferable for long-term freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWipe clean and hand wash only. The crackle glaze is decorative and best kept away from harsh scrubbing or dishwashers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a matcha tin?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is primarily a tea caddy for loose-leaf tea. It will hold a standard 30g packet of matcha powder, but its larger capacity and ceramic construction make it better suited to loose-leaf. For matcha storage, a dedicated airtight tin keeps powder fresher longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much tea does it hold?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout 200ml of volume — roughly 20–40g of loose-leaf tea depending on how tightly the leaves are rolled. That is a week to two weeks of daily brewing for most people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is the glaze cracked?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe crackle is a traditional Ru-kiln finish that forms naturally during firing. It is intentional and unique to each piece — no two look the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the lid airtight?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe fitted lid sits snugly and keeps tea away from air and light during normal use. For long-term storage or matcha powder, a silicone-sealed tin is more airtight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrowse more in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/kitchen-storage\"\u003ekitchen storage collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSourced and finished for Strabella Home \u0026amp; Kitchen, packed in our Newport Beach, California studio.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Strabella Home \u0026 Kitchen","offers":[{"title":"Cream","offer_id":48790243016919,"sku":"STRB-RUKILN-CADDY-CREAM","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue","offer_id":48790243049687,"sku":"STRB-RUKILN-CADDY-BLUE","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/2477\/8711\/files\/strabella-ru-kiln-tea-caddy-both-colors.png?v=1781590007","url":"https:\/\/www.strabellahome.com\/products\/ru-kiln-crackle-ceramic-tea-caddy-fitted-lid","provider":"Strabella Home \u0026 Kitchen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
