Yixing purple clay Teapots, like Jingdezhen ceramics, are already world-renowned. The most prominent feature is that they do not alter the original flavor of Tea, “trapping the aroma and releasing the warmth,” and with prolonged use, they can absorb the fragrance of the tea. This is because the pores in purple clay teapots are relatively large, they have a high water absorption rate, and also good breathability, so they can maintain the color, aroma, and taste of tea for a longer period.
For daily maintenance, please note: after use, keep the inside of the teapot dry and avoid accumulation of moisture; when not in use, store it in a well-ventilated area, do not place it in a stuffy location, and it should not be wrapped or sealed; avoid contact with oil stains, and do not place it near places with excessive smoke or dust; actually Brew tea, the more times you use it to brew tea, the more tea essence it will absorb; Cleaning with a brush or cloth should be moderate, after pouring tea over the surface, use a soft-bristled small brush to wash away any residue, rinse with boiling water, then wipe lightly with a clean tea towel; after use, ensure it is cleaned and dried, remove all tea residue to prevent unpleasant odors, and preferably leave the lid slightly open instead of tightly closed; after frequent use, the teapot needs a rest, allowing it to naturally and thoroughly dry before using again, which is better for absorption; have multiple teapots, and use one teapot for one type of tea only, do not use the same teapot for different types of tea; do not wash purple clay teapots with detergent or any chemical cleaning agents.
Amidst the busyness, brew a pot of tea, pour it into a cup, and the steam carries a pungent aroma of tea that greets your nose, the flavors of which can be fully appreciated.
