Little chick tea pet

Yixing Duan Ni clay — $10

A tea pet is a small unglazed clay figure that you "feed" with leftover tea during brewing sessions, and this chick is one of the smallest you'll find — just 2cm tall and about 25g. It's made from Duan Ni clay (a type of Yixing clay from Jiangsu Province) using traditional techniques. The round shape and compact size mean it fits on any tea tray without getting in the way.

Chicks are a common shape in Chinese tea culture, representing fresh starts and simple pleasures. Because this one is so small, the clay absorbs tea faster relative to its surface area — you'll see colour changes sooner than with larger tea pets.

Product details

  • Material: Yixing Duan Ni clay (Jiangsu Province, China)
  • Size: 2.0cm high × 2.6cm long
  • Weight: Approximately 25g

Handmade — slight variations are normal.

This works well for

  • A first tea pet if you're not sure about committing to a larger one
  • Small tea trays or limited desk space
  • An inexpensive gift to go alongside loose leaf tea
  • Starting a small collection — pairs well with our chubby cat

Joanne's tip

This is the tea pet I hand to people at the Tea Bar when they ask "what's that little thing on the tray?" It's $10, it's cute, and it's a low-risk way to try the tea pet habit.

Lovely tea and service

A Moment of Tea have been wonderfully helpful educating me on the finer points of tea, and are supplying me with a lovely Ripe Puerh tea which I adore. Highly recommended, A Moment of Tea is my go to for fine tea.

Beautiful and complex!

My absolute favourite tea—so beautiful, with such complex and rich flavours. For the second infusion, I’ve begun to cold brew it over night in the fridge and that brings out a lot of the more floral notes- i highly recommend, to make the most of this tea!!

Beautiful Tea

This is seriously a lovely tea. Smooth flavour and no bitterness at all. I usually like milk with my tea but no problems without milk at all. Will definitely purchase again. Thanks

Handy flask

This is a really handy little flask. Just the right size and the temp gauge is a great addition so you know how hot the contents are . Not too big or small just right😄
