Our first Tea Pet Familiar is crafted in the storied tradition of these loyal companions to tea drinkers across the ages. These playful companions hail from the Yixing region of China a little over a thousand years ago.
The traditional role of a Tea Pet is part of the Gong Fu preparation of tea drinking. Through each round of steeping as the brew deepens, you pour a little of the tea over the figure as you fill your own cup. Over time the unglazed, porous Yixing clay absorbs each pour and develops a unique patina. A fingerprint of the cups you have shared with your companion.
Of course, if your RPG game happens to need a giant owlbear figurine, or the party you are DMing suddenly faces off against a large Owlbear adversary, who are we to tell you your traditions and how to use your new Owliver Tea Familiar.
Tea ceremony, desk companion, coding supervisor or in game mini - he's ready to be adopted today.
