Traditionally, tea pets are made from Yixing clay, a type of unglazed clay from the Yixing region of China. The porous nature of Yixing clay allows the tea to be absorbed, giving the tea pet a unique aroma over time. Some tea pets are also made from other materials such as jade, wood, and porcelain.
Tea pets come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, ranging from traditional animals such as dragons, lions, and frogs to modern characters and shapes. Some tea pets even have unique features such as a spout or a hole in the mouth that allows them to "spit" the tea.
Tea pets are more than just decorative objects; they are a symbol of the tea culture and an important part of the tea ceremony. They represent good luck, positive energy, and a connection to nature. Whether used for personal enjoyment or given as a gift, tea pets are a unique and meaningful addition to any tea lover's collection.
