Troubleshooting

Tea leaves escaping the strainer

Ensure the strainer is properly seated. For very fine teas, consider using a tea ball inside the strainer or a finer mesh strainer if available separately.

Teapot is slow to cool

This is a characteristic of stoneware. For faster cooling, pour the tea into a different vessel or allow it to cool slightly before drinking.

Stains on the inside of the teapot

Create a paste of baking soda and water, apply to stained areas, let sit for 15-30 minutes, then gently scrub and rinse. Avoid harsh chemicals.
