seasoning a pot

Literal meaning

nurturing the pot

Definition#

Seasoning a pot is the practice of using and caring for an unglazed teapot over time, often with attention to patina or dedication to one tea style. A flavour improvement is not guaranteed. Our practical advice is to remove leaves and residue after use and let the interior and lid dry fully before storage.
