Add a playful transformation to your tea ritual with this colour-changing Chinese mitten crab tea pet. Black at room temperature, the heat-sensitive crab turns a vivid orange-red when hot water is poured over it, resembling the colour of a freshly cooked crab.
 
Also known as the Chinese hairy crab, the Chinese mitten crab is recognised for its distinctive furry, mitten-like claws.
 
Known in Chinese as a chachong (茶宠), this figurine can be placed on a Gongfu tea tray and gently rinsed with hot water or tea during brewing. As it cools, it gradually returns to black. Its detailed crab shape also makes it a quirky desk figurine, shelf ornament or unusual gift for tea lovers.
