Tea Pet – Long Gui in Red Yixing Clay
A hand-crafted tea pet made from red Yixing Hongni clay, depicting Long Gui (龍龜) – the dragon turtle, symbol of good fortune, harmony, and longevity.
Combining the wisdom of the turtle with the strength of the dragon, Long Gui represents balance between stillness and movement, earth and sky.
The warm reddish clay radiates vitality, joy, and calm strength, making it a bright, uplifting companion for your tea sessions.
Placed on the tea tray and gently poured over with tea, it gradually develops a natural sheen – a reflection of the shared moments between tea and time.
Tea Pets – Companions of the Tea Ritual
Small Guardians of Serenity
Tea pets are traditional companions of the Chinese tea ceremony, crafted from authentic Yixing Zisha clay. During tea sessions, they are gently poured over with tea, symbolically bringing them to life.
Over time, they develop a natural sheen and warm patina, becoming personal reflections of countless tea moments shared with their owner.
Each figure carries its own meaning:
- Lions or dragons bring protection and strength,
- Frogs or toads (Chan Chu) represent wealth and prosperity,
- Elephants stand for peace and patience,
- and bamboo, fish, or turtles embody longevity, harmony, and the flow of nature.
- A tea pet is more than decoration – it is a silent companion of mindfulness, uniting tea, clay, and the spirit of calm presence.
