This delightful tea pet, shaped like a smiling Baby Buddha, is a charming addition to any Gong Fu Cha tea ceremony. Crafted from porous sandstone, this tea pet will appreciate all the teas you'll feed him and, in return, bring joy and good company to your tea table:)
The Baby Buddha represents joy and contentment in the simple act of tea drinking. His cheerful expression and clasped hands evoke a sense of gratitude and mindfulness, qualities that are central to the Gong Fu Cha tradition. He invites you to slow down, savor each moment, and appreciate the warmth and flavor of your tea.
During the Gong Fu Cha ceremony, this tea pet serves a purpose by being 'fed' with leftover tea. The porous stone absorbs the tea, gradually developing a rich patina that enhances its texture and color over time. This process symbolizes the tea pet's participation in the tea session and reflects the aging process of the tea equipment, reminding us of the beauty in natural change.
Ideal for tea lovers who appreciate the deeper, meditative aspects of tea culture, this Baby Buddha tea pet adds a playful yet profound element to the tea-making ritual. It encourages a tea session that transcends simple consumption and becomes a practice of mindfulness and joy.
This tea pet is perfect for anyone looking to deepen their connection with tea culture or bring a touch of serenity to their daily tea routine. Its design and symbolic meaning make it a thoughtful gift for tea lovers or a wonderful treat for oneself, promising to bring a smile and a moment of peace with every brew.

Customer Reviews
It never occurred to me that I wanted or needed a tea pet, but the smile on this guys face, whether dry, wet from tea, and especially as I watch the process of it rather quickly drying from head toward the toes. It really does add an element of joy to my tea session. It makes me smile and my heart feels lighter.
