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.
