Petite boîte servant à garder le thé. Elle était souvent fabriquée avec des essences rares et sa finition était délicate. Elle prenait diverses formes, et pouvait être marquetée, unie ou laquée. Certaines boîtes étaient composées de compartiments intérieurs à parois d'étain (deux habituellement, un pour le thé noir et un pour le vert); les autres servaient à tenir des boîtes pour d'autres sortes de thé. 2, record 2, French, - bo%C3%AEte%20%C3%A0%20th%C3%A9
