[A “nice size” tea caddy whose smooth, plain leather fits comfortably in your hand.]< /font>

As the name "Domori" suggests, this beautiful tea box has a soft roundness that fits comfortably in your hand, and is made entirely from cherry bark (wild cherry bark) on the surface, interior and lid of the cylinder.
The cherry peel on the surface of the tea box is dried for a long time and then shaved until that it becomes fine, then polished to give it shine. As a result, the natural pattern of the trunk appears on the surface, giving each piece a unique look. In addition, cherry bark has excellent breathability and moisture permeability which maintains an appropriate humidity level, and also has antibacterial properties. In addition, thanks to the careful handwork of artisans, it has a very airtight closure, making it ideal for storing delicate tea leaves. The amber color of cherry bark deepens with use, creating a beautiful glow. font>
