Frequently Asked Questions

How do you take care of a tea pet?

Taking care of a tea pet is a delightful and uncomplicated experience! To ensure your tea pet thrives, here's all you need to do:

  1. Regular Hot Tea Soaking: It's important to frequently soak your tea pet in hot tea, particularly if it's made from yixing clay. This clay material, when deprived of regular moistening with hot water, can become prone to cracking. So, make it a routine to provide your tea pet with a warm tea bath to keep it in the best possible condition.
  2. Thorough Air Drying: Once you've soaked your tea pet, let it dry completely in the open air. This step is essential to prevent any moisture-related damage and to maintain the tea pet's aesthetic appeal.

That's the entirety of the care routine! Enjoy the process, and your tea pet will remain a cherished part of your tea-drinking experience.
