Instruction for Use

Precautions

  • Common: Due to the nature of the raw materials, please be aware that color and grain may vary. Do not wash with water. Please wipe off with a dry cloth. Excessive drying may cause cracking.
  • Pale Wood: No coating has been applied. Moisture and tea will seep into it, but please enjoy the texture that develops with use. If staining is a concern, applying perilla oil, linseed oil, or oil for wooden tableware will make it look moist and dark, and less likely to absorb moisture.
