What is a Tea Pet? 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. Tea lovers in China 'raise' a tea pet by placing it on the tea tray with other tea accessories and pouring hot tea over it, normally on the first brew.The action of pouring tea over the tea pet is known as nourishing it. Can Tell Me More About Lucky Toad? Lucky toad is called ‘Chan Chu’ in chinese and also shares other common names like "Chinese Money Toad" or "Money Frog".It is a folk tale mythical creature that is three legged frog. In feng shui, this mythical creature is said to attract and protect wealth, and guards against bad luck. Therefore it makes a great gift to anyone who wants to attract good luck. Why Does it Comes in a Set? Good things comes in pair. The male toad has a horn on his back that will attract wealth. The female toad without the horn will retain the wealth.When both male and female are kept together, they are believe to bring wealth, prosperity and longevity to the owners. Why Zisha (Purple Clay) is the best Ceramic for a tea pet? Zisha also known as purple clay, has been the best material used in China to brew tea dating back to the 15th century.Most of the chinese tea pets are handmade from Zisha or purple clay. This is because after prolong use, Zisha will absorb the tea,and its surface will become smoother and glossier along with the aroma of the tea. As the shine and glossiness increases through prolonged period of nourishment, its appearance changes and becomes even more attractive.This feature makes most tea lovers yearn to keep a tea pet for their collection alongside their gongfu tea set.

Good value pets for your collection; does not have a drain (if matters to you)
Wonder pair of tea pets. They are made of traditional clay pet materials, and ours have started to grow in luster after some usage. Feel like it's worth pointing out that if you are going to use these pets traditionally in gongfu style; that with these, their mouths are designed open and thus they actually retain some liquid content. Other pets out there (even ones akin to these) are available where no liquid is "consumed" that isn't drained out. These pets have no drain in the bottom, so you'll either need to ensure you're using hot enough water/tea for it to evaporate or absorb, or you'll need to turn them over and drain them out each time. The "coins" are free-spinning and held in mouths by a thin piece of metal -- I think if you knocked something too hard against them you may risk breaking the coin loose, but have not had any issue with this.If you're just looking for some fun tea pets to put around your tea area, this couple is a nice addition.

Great addition to teatime
I adore them! My 1st purchase was the single lucky toad teapet with the strands of coins down his/her back. He/she is thrilled to have this charming couple join us. I completely agree! They are so engaging, sometimes I think they are grinning right at me. I take their care and feeding quite seriously. I look forward to many, many shared cozy teatimes.
