When it comes to the maintenance of purple clay pots, it can be divided into two aspects: external maintenance and internal maintenance.

External cultivation means brewing tea frequently and wiping it frequently. Due to the high temperature during tea brewing, the pores on the pot wall will slightly expand. At this time, a tea towel can be used to wipe the surface of the purple clay pot, allowing the microorganisms in the tea to adsorb into the pores on the purple clay pot wall. Over time, the surface of the purple clay pot gradually became warm and moist.

The key to internal nourishment is: one servant does not serve two masters, and one pot does not brew two teas. Due to the special pore structure of the purple clay teapot, it is good at absorbing tea soup. Only by brewing one type of tea in a purple clay teapot can the tea soup maintain its original flavor. Long term use can accumulate tea stains on the inner wall of the teapot, and even if boiling water is injected into an empty teapot, the tea aroma will overflow.

There are several basic points to raising a teapot

1.Thoroughly wash the inside and outside of the pot

Whether it is a newly purchased purple clay teapot or an already used purple clay teapot, it is necessary to clean the oil, dirt, tea stains, etc. on the teapot body before maintenance.

Avoid getting oil stains by all means

The purple clay teapot is the tea set that is most afraid of oil stains. When oil stains are found on the purple clay teapot, it needs to be cleaned immediately, otherwise the soil will not absorb the tea and leave oil marks.

2.Nourishing with tea infusion

The more times the tea is brewed, the more tea juice the pot absorbs. When the soil absorbs it to a certain extent, it will penetrate the surface of the pot and emit a moist and jade like light.

3.wipe

When cleaning the surface of the pot, you can use your hands to scrub it. After washing, you can use a clean cotton cloth or other soft and fine cloth to wipe it, and constantly touch it with your hands. After a long time, not only does it feel comfortable, but it can also radiate the natural luster of purple clay itself, which is simple and elegant, and more thought-provoking.

4.Clean tea rust and dirt

A teapot that is frequently used but not cleaned in a timely manner after use can easily accumulate tea stains.

To clean tea stains, you should first fill them with boiling water, shake them a few times, and pour them out. They should immediately immerse themselves in cold water to remove the odor. Repeat this process multiple times.

If you encounter tea stains that are difficult to clean, prepare a small soft bristled brush and some edible baking soda. Pour an appropriate amount of baking soda into the pot, then inject warm water. After a few minutes, use a small brush to brush away the tea stains. This is a good cleaning method.
