1. Simple method of opening a pot,
1. Separate the pot body and lid, put it into the pot, boil until it boils, and let it sit for 5-10 minutes.

2. Traditional boiling method,
1. Preheating: First use boiling water to wash the inside and outside of the newly purchased purple clay teapot to remove dust on the surface, and then put the purple clay teapot into the pot without oil stains. In the pot, add water 3 times the height and boil for 2 hours. The earthy smell and internal heat of the purple clay teapot will be removed.
2. Reduce the heat: Put the tofu in the teapot and boil for 1 hour. The gypsum contained in tofu has a fire-reducing effect and can decompose residual substances in the teapot.
3. Moisturizing: Cut the purchased sugar cane into sections and put them into the pot. If you don't have sugar cane, you can put some sugar in it and cook it for another hour. Sugarcane's natural sugars nourish your teapot like never before.
4. Rebirth: Finally, choose your favorite tea leaves, put them in the teapot, and boil for 1 hour. Longjing tea is the best. In this way, the teapot is no longer a "lifeless" dead thing. After being reborn, it absorbed the essence of tea. Brewing tea for the first time can already leave the tea drinker with a lingering fragrance on his teeth and cheeks.
