Bộ Ấm Tử Sa Lạc Hồng (Tu Sa Lac Hong Zisha Tea Set)
The Tu Sa Lac Hong set, named after the founding legend of Vietnam and finished in deep zisha tones.
Tu Sa Lac Hong Zisha Tea Set at a glance
Tu Sa Lac Hong 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’s own facilities.
Using and caring for it
Before the first use, pour hot water over the piece inside and out and rinse it with clean water. After each use rinse with hot water only – no detergent, no dishwasher; over time the piece takes on a quiet sheen. Store it somewhere dry and airy. With zisha clay it is worth keeping one pot for one kind of tea rather than mixing.
Where Tu Sa Lac Hong Zisha Tea Set sits in the TRAVINA range
Tu Sa Lac Hong Zisha Tea Set belongs to Teaware. The tea to go with it can be chosen from the sets in Tea Boxes and Gift Sets or loose from Thai Nguyen Green Tea, for instance Premium Moc Cau Green Tea.
Wholesale and export
The cooperative sells this line in bulk as well as in retail packing. Minimum order quantity is set case by case against what the season has produced rather than by a fixed table, so tell us the volume and the packing you need. For a formal export order we can supply the VietGAP certificate, the ISO 22000:2018 certificate for the La Bang facility, the food safety licence, the planting-area code and a pesticide residue test report; phytosanitary certificate, certificate of origin and HS classification are prepared per shipment.
Every photograph on this page was taken at our own cooperative in Dai Tu, Thai Nguyen. Real leaf, real packaging, no stock images.
Benefits
- 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.
