Yes, they are finally here. Tea pets. If you do not know, they are "pets" that people have when they do usually gong fu cha, a Chinese based tea ceremony. They pour some of the tea on them while doing gong fu cha. Yes, the front ones are cats. I could not find dogs ones yet, but when I do I will have them too. Not a slight to my dog loving tea people at all.

First cup goes to the tea pet

In Chinese tea culture, the first cup of tea should be given to a tea pet. This water from the first steep is normally not used anyways. Some people believe that the first time you feed it, that's what gives it its soul.

So they live on the tea table, and you raise them by pouring/feeding them tea. Tea pets should not be soaked in hot water, but drenched in tea water. Gently brush it after washing.

What are tea pets?

A tea pet is a clay figure that sits on your tea table. There's two reasons to use it. First, to get rid of unneded water or tea leftovers in an elegant way. Second, people believe it shares a positive energy to everyone gathered around the tea table. Another practical reason to use it, is that it can help you test the temperature of the water as well.

Tea pets originated as a way to make use of excess clay in potteries in the 13th century. They make great gifts and costs as little as 5-10 USD.

Each tea pet has its own special meaning. It can bring luck, wealth or any kind of auspicious happenings depending on what kind of animal they are.

Spock and McCoy definitely have an agreement that, if Kirk shows up on the Bridge looking miserable or distant, they will start an absolutely meaningless argument about nothing in particular, which will coincidentally last exactly as long as it takes Kirk to start grinning at their antics.

Tea sess with my bro, and the gaggle of goobers:

🍂 2018, Liubao Black Jasmine

It’s so good y’all. The floral scent is heavenly. It has such a smooth flavor; my steeps were long because I am a distracted mess and I did not get overpowered by tannin bitterness at all.
