Year of the Horse Color Changing Gong Fu Tea Mascot
Bring a touch of magic, tradition, and interactive fun to your daily tea ritual. Crafted with precision, this stunning Horse Tea Pet is not just an elegant centerpiece for your tea tray, it is a dynamic, heat-sensitive companion that transforms right before your eyes.
When cold or at room temperature, the horse displays a deep, glossy mystic purple hue, adorned with intricate golden armor, vibrant red accents, and a traditional Chinese wealth ingot (元宝) resting on its back.
The moment you pour hot water over it, a mesmerizing transformation occurs: the horse sheds its dark coat to reveal a pristine, milky-white finish with brilliant golden details. As it cools, it gracefully shifts back to its original deep purple state.

How to Care For Your Horse Mascot
To keep your color-changing horse looking vibrant for years to come:
-
Activate the Change: Simply pour leftover hot water or fresh tea directly over the figurine during your tea ceremony.
-
Clean Gently: Rinse with clean water. Avoid using harsh chemical detergents, abrasive scrubbers, or placing it in the dishwasher, as this could damage the heat-reactive glaze. Handle carefully, as the out finish can chip off if dropped or cleaned with abrasives.
-
Let it Season: Over time, nourishing your tea pet with tea liquor will give it a unique, beautifully seasoned luster.
