1. The Patina Method.When brewing Tea, pour tea juice over the pot, believing that the more it is poured over, the more nutrients it can absorb, and refrain from wiping or scrubbing it. Over time, the pot becomes enveloped in a layer of tea scale, causing its surface to become unappealingly dark and greasy.

2. The Dry Wiping Method.While the pot is hot from brewing tea, pour tea juice over it and then use a dry cloth to wipe back and forth after pouring out the tea juice. This method results in a pot that brightens quickly, but once nourished, it is most vulnerable to hand sweat and moisture; if touched by these, the developed luster may easily fade, leading to uneven shine on the pot's surface.

3. The Wet Wiping Method.When the pot is hot, use a tea towel dipped in tea water to wipe and continuously rub the pot body. This method is akin to polishing shoes, layering tea juice onto the surface. Once polished to brightness, if unused for over half a year, the luster will gradually fade.

4. The Frequent Brushing Method.When brewing tea, pour tea water over the pot and, while it is still warm and absorbing, frequently brush with a hairbrush or small brush to evenly apply the tea juice over the pot, similar to brushing shoes, creating an artificial shine.
