I'm with you on this one Jim. I have began to raise some pots in this
same method, and sometimes just taking a small bit of the tea and
letting it brew in the pot for an hour or so then discarding the tea
and water. With the new pot I brought back for my brother to use from
China, I actually boiled it as most people recommend but I cannot
really see any difference in flavor of the tea or quality of the
interior of the pot. I don't think I have ever scrubbed the inside of
a pot before.

Although, one thing for sure is, make sure you turn the pot over to dry
after you use it.
