tannin patina — in a lot of cultures they try to build this up intentionally in their teapots, not harmful but….not appealing to most folks for obvious reasons 😂

Perfect if you run out of tea. Just add hot water and scrape down the sides for a lovely emergency cup.

You should ask him why, i’m genuinely curious. These comments make it seem like there’s a reason other than being disgusting.

I had a well seasoned coffee cup that I didn’t clean during an entire deployment to Iraq. Customs finally made me clean it out before they’d let me get on a plane home. Apparently, coffee stains were more dangerous than the actual f**king gun I was carrying. Lol.

You could probably save it up for years and then split the mug in two to count how many rings of tea you find.

Quite a lot of people don’t wash their tea mugs. There is an opinion that it tastes better that way.

Honestly, if you try to replace this with a flower pot, he probably wouldn’t have been able to tell the difference

Was he ever in the US Navy?
A lot of people had a tradition of not washing them for months. As long as it’s straight black coffee, I never saw any issues. But the minute some tried this with cream and sugar… it would start growing.
