Daruma as Container for Tea Leaves

cha tsutsu, chazutsu 茶筒

In contrast to the container for powdered tea, cha ire　茶入, we have a container for leaf tea, tea caddy, tea canister, cha tsutsu　茶筒. They are made from various materials, including wood, metal and plastic.
Some have a second internal lid.

Freshness is one of Japanese green tea's most important qualities. Unlike dry oxidized teas such as black or oolong, it does not last forever. Tea leaves easily deteriorate by contacting with oxygen, ultraviolet light, humidity, or high temperatures.
To preserve freshness, high-quality green tea leaves should be stored in an air-tight container away from heat and moisture. A "chazutsu" is specially designed to keep the green tea fresh.
