A cute crab is waiting for a drink of tea. This resin tea pet flushes bright orange when offered hot water or tea.
Tea pets are used in traditional tea ceremonies to offer the tea wash and any left over tea. They started being used in the Yuan Dynasty over 700 years ago. They can be made from all kinds of materials and this is made with a colour changing resin.
Teapets offer a bit of fun and company to your tea sessions. Some people consider them lucky charms and others as a way of offering of thanks.
