What is a Tea Pet? & Cultural Meaning of This Rabbit Tea Pet
Tea pets (known as chachong in Chinese) are a beloved traditional element of Chinese tea culture, designed to sit on your tea tray and be nourished by spilled or poured tea during ceremonies. This rabbit-shaped tea pet carries extra cultural significance: in the Chinese zodiac, the rabbit symbolizes good luck, longevity, peace, and gentleness, making it a meaningful addition to your collection or a thoughtful gift.

Care Tips
Simply pour warm tea over the tea pet during your tea sessions, and wipe it gently with a soft tea cloth occasionally. Avoid using soap or chemical cleaners, as these will damage the clay and prevent proper patina development. Over time, your tea pet will develop a unique, glossy finish that reflects your personal tea drinking habits, making it a truly special keepsake.
