Shi Potian talks about Zisha: how to remove the peculiar smell in the teapot

Those who like purple clay teapots must know that purple clay teapots need to be maintained, and the hard-working purple clay teapots are the treasures of those who raise them.

Zisha teapots have strong air permeability, and can absorb tea flavor and retain tea fragrance, but once the teapot absorbs the peculiar smell, it will be troublesome.

The odor can be removed in several ways:

1. Steamer

When we maintain the purple clay pot, if the purple clay pot has a peculiar smell. At this time, we can put the purple clay pot in the pot, steam it over high heat for a period of time, and let the water vapor force out the taste in the purple clay pot.

2. Boiling pot

The principle of the boiling pot is similar to that of the steaming pot. Putting the purple sand pot in clean water and boiling it repeatedly is similar to the steps of opening a pot.

3. Shower pot

Rinse the inside and outside of the teapot repeatedly with boiling hot tea, and then wipe the surface of the teapot with a clean damp tea towel. This will not only remove the peculiar smell from the teapot, but also make the surface of the teapot even in color, making it easier to coat the paste and have a lustrous luster.

It should be noted that after the teapot is stained with peculiar smell, it is best not to use vinegar, alkali, etc. to clean it, because it is easy to corrode the surface of the teapot.

When using a purple clay pot, you must pay attention to the cleanliness of your hands, because the surface of the purple clay pot is easy to leave stains and absorb odors.

When applying hand cream or handling greasy items, be sure to clean your hands completely before touching the purple clay pot.

Because the teapot is easy to absorb the smell, once it is contaminated with any strange smell, it will destroy the taste of the tea. At the same time, the teapot also has a shadow when making tea.

There are also some pot lovers who fail to pour out the tea dregs in time due to negligence, and if the teapot is not used for a long time, it will become moldy and produce peculiar smell. It can be filled with boiling water and poured out a few times, that is, submerged in cold water, repeated several times, and the musty smell is gone.
