Angel's Comment:

It’ a very addictive tea pet for the superb craftsmanship, rich detailing, and lifelike.

This tea pet is hand-colored, and is made of Duan Ni as the basic material. Each detail is made very carefully, making the ferocious crocodile into an adorkable look, which makes us happy. Furthermore, as we utilize and nourish with the tea, its hue will get yellower and darker, making it more realistic. Of course, if you want to keep its original color, you can choose not to raise it with tea.

Raise your tea pet

There is an old Chinese saying, that “soft fire makes sweet malt”. This also holds for seasoning tea pets: they can be “raised” by keeping them on your tea try and pouring tea over them, to nourish the pets. Their cute appearance and maturation in color and texture over time often results in them being a permanent part of a gongfu set.

1. Just about any liquid from the session can be used: the water used for originally warming the cups, the liquid from the first rinse of the leaves, or the leftover tea from each steep.

2. Evenly wipe or pour the liquid over the tea pet. Uneven spreading will result in a dappled appearance. Once dry, you can freely touch the pet however you like.

3. Using a brush or cloth, softly wipe the liquid into the surface of the tea pet.

4. If the pet is stained with dirt or anything else, salt can be used to clean it off first.
