All of our Zen Zen items come from a village cooperative in Bali. The alluring variations in color of the celedon glaze create a natural palate of green as a back drop for crickets, frogs, etc. All teapots, tea cups and salt and pepper dispensers come in colorful fabric-lined, hand woven bamboo boxes. The name "zen zen" comes from a Japanese expression which loosely translates to "but of course" - that natural serendipity which occurs when you're doing something positive for the planet. Please note: the bamboo box is actually green.
