Care and Maintenance
To preserve the integrity of the rough clay and the rich, dark red finish:
Seasoning:** Before first use, rinse with warm water. We recommend simmering tea leaves in the pot to "season" the clay.
Cleaning:** Hand wash only with warm water. Avoid soaps or detergents, as the porous clay absorbs flavors and aromas over time, enhancing the "vintage story" of your brews.
Handling:** Allow the clay charcoal stove to cool completely before cleaning to prevent thermal shock.
Elevate your tea ritual with a set that defines luxury through tradition, texture, and time.
