Key Features

• Cute Handmade Zisha Clay Cat Tea pet, Traditional Chinese Tea Accessory - About 6.7*5.7cm, This little cat tea pet is so adorable, It’s made from real Zisha clay, the same stuff used for high-quality Chinese teapots.

It’s totally handmade, so each one has its own little quirks, which makes it feel extra special.
• The More You Use It, The Better It Looks Tea Patina Magic - One of the coolest things about Zisha clay is that it absorbs tea over time.

That means there’s nothing to leach into your tea, and it’s totally safe to pour hot water over it. The texture is smooth but has that natural, earthy feel of real clay. The color is a rich, warm brown that matches most traditional tea sets perfectly.
