I am a Green Tea Box. Think green and think outside the box and you’ll have two important keys to success!
Curator's Notes
We imagined these Green Tea Boxes by Azmaya all over our home the second we saw them! These traditional boxes were well thought out in terms of material and function by our forebears as their original purpose was to store green tea leaves. The cedar was meant to protect it’s contents by naturally repelling moisture and smell while the non-rust galvanized sheet metal that lines each box, was meant to keep the green tea leaves dry until they were ready to be ground. In a contemporary home, these boxes are great for storing food in the pantry while repelling insects or for condensing small household belongings in the closet. Stack a few different sizes up and you can create a beautiful organizational area in the living room.
