{"product_id":"boite-a-the-matcha-natsume","title":"Matcha Tea Caddy Natsume","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Natsume tea caddy is an indispensable vessel for the tea ceremony, as it is the container in which matcha tea is kept. It owes its name to its shape, reminiscent of the jujube (Chinese red date). Its origins are said to date back to the 14th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is traditionally crafted from lacquered wood and requires genuine care and maintenance. This is why it is nowadays offered in ABS resin, which is durable and easier to maintain. The natsume is primarily used to store the matcha used in preparing usucha, a light tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNatsume traditionally feature a black colour and come primarily in three sizes: large, medium and small. The most common are the medium ones, with a height and diameter of approximately 6.5 cm. They are used to store classic matcha tea for usucha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe smaller ones are reserved for high-quality or ceremonial matcha intended for the preparation of \"koicha\" (matcha transformed into a rich, thick paste by using less water and more matcha powder per serving. Its intense flavour is a pure delight for matcha lovers).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KANESHO TOUKI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54111406391629,"sku":"NISNAT1","price":24.83,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/6438\/8941\/files\/NAT1-s.webp?v=1782200078","url":"https:\/\/www.nishikidori.com\/en\/products\/matcha-tea-caddy-natsume","provider":"Nishikidori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
