Tea Pet - Begging Otter
This cute otter looks at you with wide eyes, asking for a sip of tea. A loyal companion on your tea set that wants to join in for a drink during every tea ceremony.
Tea pets – also called "Cha Chong" (茶宠) – are small, unglazed clay figures that enrich traditional Gongfu tea rituals. They sit on the tea tray and are regularly poured over with hot tea during the infusion process, gradually developing a unique patina and personality.
Our selection of tea pets are all hand-painted.
Height/ Weight:
approx. 7 cm / 85 g
Use and care:
Cleaning: Do not use soap, only clear warm water and occasional rinsing. The goal is to preserve the developing patina, not remove it.
We keep our range intentionally curated. We only include tea and equipment that completely convince us.
All of our teas have been tested by us and found to be delicious. They are excellently suited for ceremonial preparation with multiple infusions.
