Bring a little joy and tradition to your tea ritual with this Lion Dance tea pet: a handcrafted ceramic companion designed to sit on your tea tray during gongfu-style brewing.
Tea pets are small figures traditionally kept beside the teapot during tea sessions. As you pour tea over them, they slowly develop a natural patina, becoming part of your daily rhythm and ritual. This Lion Dance design draws inspiration from Chinese tea culture and the celebratory lion dances often seen during festivals and New Year celebrations, symbolising joy, protection, and good fortune.
Crafted from durable ceramic and finished in a warm, earthy glaze, this tea pet is both decorative and meaningful - a gentle reminder to slow down and enjoy the small moments in your tea practice. Over time, each piece becomes unique, marked by the teas you share with it.
