How does Kotodo enhance my matcha ritual?
Kotodo is more than storage - it's part of your daily matcha ritual. Its timeless design and smooth feel make preparing matcha a calming, mindful experience that grounds you in the moment.
Do you have any care tips for the canister?
- To clean the canister, gently wipe the surface with slightly wet towel, followed by dry cloth. Be sure to dry out the surface completely so your can will not rust.
- To keep your matcha fresh, you can store the canister in the fridge. Place the canister back in the fridge after each use, so that the moisture will not rust the tea canister from the temperature change.
- If you start having a hard time opening the lids, you can roll the canister on a flat surface for about 10 seconds, and this will bring the can back to its original form.
