Ngu Am An Lien Zisha Tea Set
The Ngu Am An Lien set: five pieces with a quiet lotus carving, made at Bat Trang.
Ngu Am An Lien Zisha Tea Set is thrown and fired at Bat Trang, the pottery village on the Red River outside Hanoi that has been making ware for about seven hundred years. TRAVINA sells these sets alongside its tea because the cup changes the tea.
Exact dimensions, capacity and piece count for this set are available on request. Every set is checked by hand before it is packed.
TRAVINA is the export brand of Tam Tra Viet Cooperative in Thai Nguyen. Ninety member households farm 40.5 hectares across Dai Tu and La Bang. Every leaf is picked by hand, and every batch is processed at the cooperative own facilities.
Every photograph on this page was taken at our own cooperative in Dai Tu, Thai Nguyen. Real leaf, real packaging, no stock images.
- Fired ceramic from Bat Trang, made for tea rather than for display.
- Holds heat well, so a small pot keeps its temperature through several infusions.
- Unglazed or lightly glazed inside, which is what lets a pot take on the character of the tea over time.
- Sold as a set, so the pot, the pitcher and the cups match.
