A tea pet is a small decorative figurine placed on a tea tray during Chinese Gongfu tea ceremonies. Its main purpose is to provide companionship and charm during a tea session. As you pour leftover or rinse tea over the unglazed clay figure, it gradually absorbs the tea oils, developing a smooth, shiny patina over time. A tea pet, also known as a tea lover's pet, is a small clay figure which is kept by some tea drinkers for good luck. They are usually made of "zisha" or Yixing clay, from the region near Yixing in Jiangsu province, China.
Tea lovers in China raise a tea pet by placing it on the tea tray during tea time and pouring out the tea over it.
