One of the many legends attached to Daruma says that Daruma, angry at himself for falling asleep during his meditations, tore off his eyelids and cast them to the ground where they immediately sprouted into the very first green tea plant. From that day on, green tea was used by monks to ward off sleep. This 3-1/4 H x 3-1/2 diam. Container will guard over 100g of your favorite tea.
