Purple Clay Tea Pet Handcrafted Zisha Gongfu Decor Figure

Purple Clay Tea Pet – Handcrafted Zisha Gongfu Decor Figure

A beloved tradition in Chinese tea culture, the tea pet is a small clay companion that lives on your tea tray and grows more beautiful with every session. Crafted from authentic purple clay (zisha), this tea pet is nourished over time by the tea you pour over it — gradually developing a rich, glossy patina and a subtle fragrance that deepens with each ceremony.

How to Nourish Your Tea Pet

• Pour leftover tea liquid over the tea pet after each brewing session
• Use a tea brush to spread the tea evenly across the surface
• Rinse with water only — never use soap or dishwashing liquid
• With consistent care over months to years, the surface becomes glossier and absorbs the aroma of your tea
