An amber answer to a sunlit counter

The clear 250ml jar came first; this amber 400ml version followed once regulars asked for something that could sit in direct light without fading a green or yellow tea inside it. Gao Liuzhou tints the melt herself with a small addition of iron oxide — no lead, no cadmium — enough to cut most UV transmission while still showing the silhouette of the leaf through the wall.

The beechwood lid comes from the same woodturner who supplies the smaller clear jars, fitted here with a food-grade silicone gasket for a firmer seal than the plain wood-on-glass closure of the 250ml pair. At 400ml, the jar holds roughly two weeks of daily drinking for most loose-leaf teas — enough to matter, not so much that a tea goes stale before you reach the bottom.

Like the rest of her storage line, this jar is not built for years of cellaring. It is for the Mí Lán Xiāng or spring Lóngjǐng you are actually working through this month, kept a little safer on a sunlit bench than a clear jar would allow.

The leaf, brewed

A sanctuary for your daily leaves

dry leaf

Unfilled, the jar has a pleasing heft; the beechwood lid releases a faint, clean scent — like a quiet workshop.

wet leaf

After adding tea, the amber glass softens the visual of rolled oolongs, turning them into a warm, honeyed glow.

liquor

Through the glass, even the palest green tea liquor looks deeper, hinting at the protection against light.

aroma

When opened, the lid carries a whisper of the tea's own fragrance, enriched by a subtle wood note.

taste

The jar itself imparts no taste — it is the guardian of flavour, ensuring your next sip is as the tea maker intended.

finish

The smooth threading of the lid closes with a satisfying, precise stop.

Brewing

A method, not a recipe.
