Spitting tea pet frog
Available in banana, round pumpkin, and long pumpkin — $28
A spitting tea pet is a clay figure that shoots small arcs of water when heated. These ones feature a frog sitting on a fruit or vegetable base — banana, round pumpkin, or long pumpkin — made from Yixing purple clay. The spitting works through thermal expansion: you soak the pet in cool water, then pour hot tea over it, and the rapid temperature change forces the water out through the frog's mouth.
Frog tea pets represent prosperity in Chinese culture. These fruit-base versions are more playful than the traditional designs, and the different bases give you a choice of shape for your tea tray.
How to activate the spitting
Rinse with hot water first, then submerge in cool water for 5–10 minutes. Remove and pour hot tea over the frog for water arcs. The bigger the temperature gap, the better it works.
About 95% of spitting tea pets function as expected. If yours doesn't spit, it still works as a regular tea pet for daily feeding and transformation.

Joanne's tip
The banana frog is our best seller of the three — it fits neatly on smaller tea trays and the elongated shape looks good next to a pu-erh session setup. If you're feeding it regularly with dark tea, the banana base develops this warm caramel-brown colour after a few months that I really like.
