Tea Pets

Tea pets are small, often whimsical clay figurines traditionally used in Chinese tea ceremonies. Made from unglazed Yixing clay, they’re placed on the tea tray and “fed” with some tea during the ritual, gradually developing a rich patina over time. Each tea pet carries symbolic meaning—like prosperity, protection, or good luck—and adds a playful, personal touch to the tea experience. Whether shaped like mythical creatures, animals, or lucky toads, they’re beloved companions that blend charm, tradition, and storytelling into every pour.
