Tea Pet for Gong Fu Tea Ceremony
A tea pet is a small clay figurine used in Gong Fu tea practice and traditional Chinese tea ceremonies, placed on the tea tray during tea service. Historically, tea pets were crafted from the leftover clay used by master artisans to handcraft Yixing teapots and other Chinese teaware, giving them the same porous quality as the teapots themselves.
As tea is poured over the tea pet during each session, it gradually absorbs the tea, developing a smoother texture, deeper tone, and a unique patina over time. This quiet process reflects the essence of tea ritual—slowing down, paying attention, and cultivating mindfulness through repeated practice.
A tea pet is more than a decorative object; it is a companion to your tea practice and a reflection of your personal tea journey. Perfect for any tea lover, tea set, or Gong Fu tea tray.
Note: This collection of ceramic tea pets does not change color when wet.
Dimension of each Tea Pet ranges as follows:
H: 1.25" to 3.75"
W: 1.25" to 2"
