The RORA Yixing Purple Clay Turtle Tea Pets (Set of 2) are handcrafted tea table companions sculpted from natural Yixing zisha clay. In Chinese tea culture, the tortoise represents longevity, perseverance, and quiet companionship. As you nourish the figurines with warm tea liquor during brewing sessions, the clay gradually develops a rich, lustrous patina.
