Product details
This exquisite Zisha tea pet, shaped like a resting water buffalo, brings a sense of calm and resilience to your tea ceremony. Measuring 10.5 cm in length, 4.5 cm in width, and 2.5 cm in height, its sleek lines and balanced form perfectly harmonize with the serene atmosphere of a tea setting. Made from Zisha clay, the texture is smooth yet robust, and as it absorbs tea over time, its color deepens, growing richer and more refined, much like the wisdom gained through life's experiences.
Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a hermit who faced great misfortune and turmoil in life. One day, he came across a wounded water buffalo. The buffalo was tough and resilient, tirelessly forging ahead despite the harshness of the land. Moved by the buffalo's perseverance, the hermit started to believe that this creature embodied the strength to change one’s destiny. Gradually, the hermit's life improved as the buffalo healed. He realized that the buffalo symbolized a force capable of “reversing the tide,” a symbol of steadfast hope.
From then on, the homophone of "niu" (牛), meaning buffalo, with "niǔ" (扭), meaning to turn or reverse, became a cherished symbol in Chinese culture. The water buffalo came to represent not only hard work and diligence but also the power to shift unfavorable circumstances and turn misfortune into fortune.
This Zisha buffalo tea pet carries that same meaning. It is a symbol of resilience and the ability to "reverse the tide" (扭转乾坤), bringing prosperity and good luck to its owner. Every time tea is poured over it, it awakens that hidden strength, not only adorning your tea table but also serving as a gentle reminder to stay strong and optimistic through adversity, leading you toward better days.
More than just a charming piece of tea ceremony decor, this Zisha buffalo tea pet embodies the promise of a brighter future. Whether in work or personal life, it acts as a guardian, helping you turn the tide and welcome abundance and success.
