Before its first use, we recommend soaking the entire piece in warm water for at least two hours to dislodge any dust. This also allows water to fill the cracks and pores, slowing the rate at which tea stains the clay. Slowing the staining process allows the colour change to progress naturally and beautifully. With each subsequent, we suggest rinsing the bowl with hot water before preparing tea in it, as you would with any chawan.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore using it for the first time, it is recommended to soak the piece in water for 10 minutes.
