❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is a “tea pet”?
A tea pet (茶宠 chá chǒng) is a small clay figurine kept on a tea tray. During Gongfu tea sessions, leftover tea is poured over it. With time, the clay absorbs the tea and develops a unique sheen and subtle aroma.

Q: Why is Sun Wukong (Monkey King) popular as a tea pet figure?
Sun Wukong is a beloved mythological hero from the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West, symbolizing cleverness, courage, and protection. As a tea pet, he adds cultural meaning and visual charm to tea ceremonies.

Q: Do I need to use tea with it?
No — you can simply pour water over the tea pet for the same aging effect, but many tea lovers use leftover brew to deepen color and texture.

Q: How to care for a purple clay tea pet?
Rinse only with water (no soap). Over time, the clay absorbs oils and develops a glossy surface.
