Troubleshooting
Tea is not brewing evenly.
Ensure tea leaves are not overcrowded in the teapot and that water is distributed evenly when pouring.
Tea leaks from the teapot spout.
Check that the teapot lid is seated correctly. Ensure the spout is not obstructed and the angle of pour is not too steep.
Discoloration inside the teapot or mug.
Use a mild detergent and a soft brush or sponge. For stubborn stains, a paste of baking soda and water can be gently applied.
Set feels unstable when stacked.
Ensure both the teapot and mug are dry and free from any debris before stacking. Make sure they are placed on a flat, stable surface.
