I came across to this term, could someone tell me more about them? I made a google image search and some of them were so cute! :3 That aside, do they have a purpose of some kind, I read they are a good luck charms of a sort?

There was another thread posted regarding this topic some years back but must have been deleted during the latest “purge”.

Re: Tea pets
To summerize, they are used as good luck charms, but there is one type, that you can use to judge the water temperature?

Re: Tea pets
Most used are made of yixing and like pots over time get a nice patina/shine to them. They also have them made in celadon, Jianshui, etc or mixed materials. I’ve not seen any that judge water temps but I have seen color changers based on hot water. In the end tea pets can be just good fun during tea.Redswam wrote:To summerize, they are used as good luck charms, but there is one type, that you can use to judge the water temperature?
