✨ The Tradition of the Tea Pet

• 🏺 What is a Tea Pet?

  • A tea pet is a small clay figurine kept near a tea set. As you practice Gongfu tea, you pour the tea rinse or leftovers over it. This act of sharing is a mindful ritual. Over time, the porous Zisha clay absorbs the tea, developing a rich, dark patina that tells the story of your peaceful moments.

• 🧱 The Magic of Zisha Clay

  • The “Living Clay”: Crafted from authentic Yixing Zisha clay, the same material used for legendary teapots. This fine, porous clay is cherished for its ability to season and improve, making your tea pet a unique, evolving heirloom.

• ✨ A Collection of Whimsical Guardians

  • Each with a Story: Our collection features a variety of unique, hand-sculpted designs, from the gracefully elegant to the boldly playful. Choose the guardian that resonates with your spirit.

  • Select from designs like: The Elegant Maiden, the Mythical Single-Horned style, the Charming Double-Horned figurine, or the powerful Wealth Guardian in two sizes.

• 💰 Symbols of Abundance & Protection

  • In Chinese tradition, tea pets are more than decor; they are auspicious tokens. Keeping one is a symbolic gesture to invite prosperity, protection, and joy into your environment.

How to “Raise” Your Tea Pet
