last night i took my newly seasoned Yixing and made it. it was nice but i think my Yixing is absorbing too much flavor. it was bold smooth and flat… On one hand, it left me disappointed, on the other – if i won’t make any tea in this Yixing it will never be useful.

When I was first using mine, I would leave teas in there overnight. I think that helped the process along…
I dont know, its too hot now. i’m afraid it will get mold. i took leaves out for the night, but now im back to brewing. i dont have to drink it, i just want to speed up the seasoning. i do leave overnight in gaiwan or glass gongfu pot because im lazy;)
I do the same as Teabrat, I seasoned one for 2 years like that, every time I had tea, I left tea overnight, never saw mold. It’s a great way to speed up the process I think. (Then I broke it a few months ago. Sad. )
Did you leave leaves or brew? i might leave brew overnight. Broke?! it is sad, how did it happen?
Both the brew and the leaves. I’d empty it first thing in the morning. I usually have pu’erh at night so it sat there a max. of 8 hours really.
Lol, my own clumsiness! I broke three within 2 months! That’s why I have three brand new Yixing pots sitting there looking pretty…unseasoned! Figured they are safer this way:-)
I left in the brew and the leaves as well. Definitely helpful if you don’t want your tea to end up tasting like clay.
Just leave the tea in there tipped up in a cup to drain and you should be fine. I brew for a couple of days like this sometimes.
Thanks will follow your advice;)
