Cleaning and CareWe recommend cleaning your new tea ware throughly before using it to assure there aren\'t any small dust particles in it.~Carefully rinse all surfaces with warm water, no detergent. ~Use a container bigger than your tea ware, line it with a towel, and fill it with hot or boiling water.~Submerge your tea ware including the lid in the water and let sit for 10+ hours.~Repeat the process with clean fresh water.~Carefully rinse off all pieces then lay out to dry with lid tilted or off. ~It\'s ready to use once it\'s dry!

 Note: Avoid using soap or detergent to clean your clay tea ware.  The clay will absorbs the soap\'s scent and affects the flavor of your tea.  Simply remove the tea leaves, use warm water to rinse, use your fingers to gently rub away any potential stains especially the spout, then allow to air dry on a towel.
