How To Nurture Your Tea Pet

Nurturing a tea pet is a simple, relaxing ritual that deepens your tea practice:

1. Place your snake tea pet on your tea tray alongside your other tea ware during your tea ceremony.
2. After pouring your tea, pour any leftover brewed tea over the tea pet, or dab it with your used tea leaves.
3. Gently wipe the surface with a soft tea cloth after your session.

Over weeks and months of regular use, tea will gradually soak into the porous ceramic, creating a one-of-a-kind glossy patina that’s unique to your tea drinking habits. The longer you nurture your tea pet, the more beautiful and meaningful it becomes.
