Ox Tea Pet

Ox Tea Pet
(Collaboration with Tea Pet Competition Winner Melanie Luchtenveld) 

The winner of our Tea Pet Competition! 

OUR WINNER: Melanie’s Ox!

All tea pets crave tea, and this super cute Ox is always looking up, waiting for his next teatime!

This tea pet was designed by Melanie Luchtenveld, who is the winner of our tea pet competition. We sent the original to China, where our team designed a mold that we used to make the version on our shop.

This earned her the top prize: $200 cash, 20 tea pets, an Ox tea cup, and a portion of all sales of items with her work on them.

What Are Tea Pets?

Tea pets are part of the Chinese Gongfu Tea tradition, going back 1000 years. They live on the tea table and bring luck and auspiciousness when water or tea is poured on them.

Tea pets are a way to personalize your tea sessions. Pick the animals you feel a connection to!
