Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: simply wash the canister with a damp cloth before first use to remove any production dust. Ensure the canister is completely dry before adding your tea, as trapped moisture can degrade the quality of your leaves. To maintain the powder-coated finish, avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals. If the exterior gets dusty, a soft microfiber cloth is sufficient. The lid seal should be wiped periodically to ensure no tea debris prevents it from closing airtight.
