Nourishing your pot requires patience and calm; rushing the process will only result in half the effectiveness and may spoil the outcome. Each detail of the process should be handled with care, but each step can also become an enjoyable experience. One must appreciate this to truly understand the meaning of nourishing a pot. When a new pot is first used, it may have a slight earthy taste; after cleaning and seasoning the pot, you can start brewing Tea.

While Drinking Tea, pour some tea soup over the purple clay pot. The heat from the pot will cause the tea soup to evaporate quickly, and the pot's surface will absorb some of it. The tea oils will permeate through the pores and emerge on the surface of the pot. At this time, it is necessary to use a tea cloth to wipe evenly, avoiding uneven distribution of the tea oil, which over time could damage the pot's appearance. This will make the pot's surface glossy and bright. With continuous washing and wiping using tea juices over time, the purple clay pot will become increasingly smooth and lustrous.

Dry Wiping: After brewing tea, rinse the inside and outside of the pot with water. You can then take a dry tea towel to wipe the exterior dry and place it upside down on the tea table.

Wet Wiping: After brewing tea, rinse the inside of the pot clean with water. Wipe the exterior clean with a damp tea towel and then use a dry tea towel for a final wipe.

Whether you choose to dry wipe or wet wipe depends entirely on your personal preference. There is no need to force either method; do what feels most comfortable. The goal remains the same: to keep the pot clean and prevent the accumulation of tea stains.
