Fruit & Vegetable Frog Spitting Tea Pet

Available in Banana, Round Pumpkin, and Long Pumpkin Designs

These spitting tea pets feature an adorable frog perched on your choice of fruit or vegetable base, bringing whimsical joy to your tea sessions with its playful design and clever water-spitting feature.

In Chinese tea culture, frog tea pets symbolise prosperity and abundance. This spitting tea pet combines traditional transformation processes with thermal expansion principles, creating delightful water displays while developing beautiful character over time.

The Transformation Timeline:

• First 2-8 weeks: Hot tea immediately darkens the clay, gradually becoming permanent
• 2-6 months: Your frog tea pet develops beautiful lustre and rich colouration
• 6+ months: Achieves full maturation with a polished finish

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 frog - it'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.
