Finally got my first Tea Pet /Mascot!
No, I’m not retiring the owls – they are still Oolong Owl’s official mascot. This tea pet is made from yixing clay. You place them on your tea table and care for them (or feed them) by pouring tea over them. Over time, the pet will suck in the tea smells and colours.
Anyways, I’ve always been in the lookout for some. I tried my luck with ebay, and here’s what I got:
A TURTLE!
Feed me tea!
This tea pet was purchased from Berylleb King Tea via Ebay, shipped from China. This turtle comes in a couple different colours, however the crappy part is the colour sent to you is random. He came super wrapped in foam and a cute red baggie.
Top view:
The symbol on his back is a little crooked. The pictures on the listing reflect this. Ehhh, adds character!
Under the turtle! Just briefly to take a picture as turtles shouldn’t be on their backs.
The seller included a couple packets of milk oolong tea, which was nice.
One day I’ll find an owl tea pet!
