Collection: Tea Pets 茶寵

Tea pets, also known as tea toys, are an element of Chinese tea culture designed to enhance the enjoyment of tea drinking. They are typically made from materials such as purple clay or Zisha and are nourished by pouring tea over them during tea rinsing. Some tea pets are designed with a hollow structure that allows them to produce interesting effects like bubbling or spraying water when tea is poured over them. In addition to traditional tea pets, modern versions made primarily from resin are now available, featuring temperature-sensitive color-changing properties that activate when hot tea is poured over them.
