Kiribako
Our luxury matcha brewing kit is housed in a kiribako box made by Hirofumi Fujii whose family have been making the finest kiribako boxes by hand for nearly a century from their workshop in Fukuoka.
The box is made from paulownia wood. Paulownia is considered to be the most valued wood for kiribako boxes as it is light and flexible, absorbs shocks and contains plenty of tannins which help to protect the contents from pests and mold.
Masters of the tea ceremony have been storing their teas and tea utensils in kiribako boxes since the Muromachi Period (1338–1573) in Japanese history.
We hope that our kiribako box will become part of your daily matcha ritual and that you enjoy making cups of matcha using the treasures it contains.
