The causes of mold in teapots, in addition to improper cleaning, are also environmental influences, such as:

1) Improper cleaning: Some tea lovers belong to the simple pie, and they put it aside after washing the pot casually, so that the tea dirt accumulates; Some are even worse, if they are not cleaned in time, let the tea residue in the teapot overnight or for several days, it is easy to breed colonies, and it is easy to stink and mold after being placed for a long time.

2) No shade drying: After washing the teapot, some tea friends do not wait for the pot to dry completely before covering the lid or directly put it back into the brocade box, the water vapor accumulates into moisture in the pot, forming a dark and damp internal environment, coupled with the humid environment and rising temperature in the south of the day, the teapot is easy to mold. How do you prevent mold in a teapot?

Based on the two reasons mentioned above, we need to "prescribe the right medicine", namely:

1) Clean in time: Every time you finish brewing tea, you must pour out the tea residue and the remaining tea soup, and then rinse the pot inside and out with clean hot water to ensure that no broken leaves are left inside; Then separate the teapot from the lid and place it upside down on a clean towel to air-dry. In this way, it is easy for air to flow in, and water will not remain in the pot until the body of the pot is dry, then cover and put it away.

2) Keep it dry: After cleaning the teapot, if you don't usually use it, you can also put a handful of dry Liubao tea in the pot. However, it is necessary to check whether the tea leaves in the pot are damp to prevent the growth of bacteria, and if you find that it is damp, you should take it out in time and dry the pot thoroughly; In addition to the body of the pot, its external environment should also be kept dry and clean.
