When “nurtured” with tea over time, the tea pet’s surface gradually develops a beautiful patina, becoming more lustrous and smooth. This process of “raising” a tea pet is a form of interaction between the tea enthusiast and the object, representing an important aspect of tea culture.Cultural Significance of the Three-Legged Money ToadThe three-legged money toad is a mythical creature in Chinese folklore, believed to spit out gold coins and bring wealth and prosperity.
