1. What are tea pets? Tea pets are small, handcrafted ceramic figurines placed on the tea tray or table during tea sessions. It’s a traditional Chinese tea culture item meant to accompany your tea moments—like a little companion that “shares” the tea with you over time.2. What are Tea Pets made of? A: Traditionally, they’re crafted from porous clay like Yixing zisha or ceramic. This material absorbs tea slowly, allowing colors and sheen to evolve with each brew. Hand-sculpted details make each piece unique.3. How do I use it? Pour leftover tea or rinse water over it during your tea ceremony. With regular pouring, the tea pet will gradually develop a natural tea stain patina, becoming darker and shinier over months or years.4. How do I maintain it?Use only tea or clean water—avoid any chemicals, soap, or other liquids.Let it dry naturally after use. Do not scrub or wash off the tea stains—they are part of the patina development.Handle gently to avoid chipping or dropping.5. What is the meaning or purpose? It’s a mindful ritual object that symbolizes companionship and the passage of time. As you care for it, the tea pet gains character and becomes a personalized reflection of your tea journey—a quiet, calming presence on your tea table.
