Valden
Hardwood boxes
Use
Leaf in the tins, not loose in the chest. Wipe the wood; do not water it. The offcut is for a wardrobe, not for tea.

$186.00

Workshop notes
- Camphor laurel, the wood that smells of the chest itself.
- Two pewter-finish tins, lids that seat. A sliding tray above for the scoop.
- Brass latch, not a lock. You can still smell the wood when it is closed.
- Crate includes a camphor offcut — put it in a linen drawer.
