Tea pets are mainly made of pottery, purple sand and other materials, which have good air permeability and water absorption, and are easy to absorb tea juice and form patina. Raising a tea pet is to nourish it with tea, just like raising a teapot.
If a lifelike tea pet is left unattended, it will only be an unremarkable decoration. Tea pets, like teapots and tea sets, will become more and more valuable under careful maintenance.
● Pour the tea pet with hot tea soup instead of boiling water, and gently wipe it with a pot pen or brush dipped in tea. After a long time, the surface will have a better luster and look brighter.
● Don't ask for convenience, but ask for soaking tea pets in tea. This practice is like pulling out the seedlings to encourage them. Although it seems that the luster and color of tea pets change rapidly, it is easy to have uneven colors, which can be seen by experienced people at a glance.
● Fermented teas such as oolong tea and Pu 'er tea are the easiest to bear fruit. Generally, it can change in a month or two, and the moisturizing effect can be seen in about half a year, while green tea is relatively slow.
● Raising a tea pet means nourishing the heart and nature. We must not be too impatient, we must have patience and perseverance, and our hearts can also be nourished in this process.
2 | What is the emphasis on the placement of tea pets?
Tea pet is a very important part of tea table geomantic omen. Many people keep tea pets for happiness, wealth and health, so we should pay more attention to their placement.
● Tea pets that need watering are generally placed in the upper left corner of the front tea tray, and those that don't need watering are in a small row in front of the tea tray. This is not only convenient for the host to pour tea pets, but also convenient for the guests to watch.
● If a tea pet like an animal belongs to the zodiac, pay attention to avoid colliding with the owner's genus.
● Among idol tea pets, it is recommended to choose a smaller Maitreya Buddha as a tea pet. Maitreya's face should be facing away from the owner and facing the guests.
● The face of the golden toad with money in its mouth should face the owner, and the money will not flow out, while the face without money faces the door with its back to the owner, so as to make money.
