La Boîte Illustrée · 100 g · Traditionnelle from Esprit Céladon is a tea tin with a tinplate body, decorated with an illustration under a lacquered finish. It is closed by a double metal lid and hand-decorated in France, in the Esprit Céladon workshop. It holds around 100 g of loose leaf tea, slightly less for very bulky teas.

Which designs?

The tin comes in many designs, to be chosen on this page: among them Aijin, two small figures in kimonos in a watercolour mountain landscape, but also Souffle du Cerisier, Koi, Arbre de Vie, Paon de Minuit, Renard d'Or, Jardin d'Eau or Grenouille Zen. The lacquered illustration keeps soft, sharp colours.

How to use it?

Pour your loose leaf tea into it once the tea bag has been opened: the double lid protects the tea from air and light. Our guide to storing tea explains what damages it and where to keep your tins.

A tin to give

Hand-decorated, the tin makes a lovely gift, on its own or filled with a tea of your choice. For a larger size or a paper wrap, the Boîte Washi Papier · 150 g · Traditionnelle is also available. All our tins are gathered in our tea tins section.
