Stone Double Frog Spitting Tea Pet

Interactive Yixing Purple Clay with Water-Spitting Function

Meet your playful frog tea pet - this delightful spitting tea pet features two charming frogs perched on a smooth stone base, bringing interactive joy to every tea session through their clever water-spitting display. In Chinese tea culture, frog tea pets symbolise prosperity and abundance, and this spitting tea pet uses thermal expansion principles by artisans for centuries.

Tea Pet Care

Daily Tea Sharing: Place your frog tea pet on your tea tray, in a separate bowl, or on your tea waste bowl for easy pouring. Pour leftover hot tea over your tea pet during each session. Stick to the same tea type for consistent colour development.

Activating the Spitting Function: To enjoy the water-spitting feature, first rinse with hot water, then immediately submerge in cool water for 5-10 minutes. Remove and pour hot tea over the frogs - they'll create delightful water arcs! Please note: Approximately 95% of spitting tea pets function successfully. Occasionally, individual pieces may not spit water - they still make beautiful traditional tea pets for daily feeding and transformation.

Simple Maintenance: If tea stains build up, gently brush with soft bristles and warm water. Never use soap - the tea oils create the beautiful transformation.

Watch the Changes: Your tea pet's colour and texture will reflect your tea drinking habits. Oolong creates rich amber-brown tones, while pu-erh develops deeper, earthier colours. Over months, the surface becomes smooth and lustrous - like polished wood.

A Thoughtful Gift
