We went to a well known café that we always use today, I had a simple fry & so did my wife, I drink black Coffee my wife tea, her tea came in a little tea pot and she poured, I noticed the spout was looking dirty & opened the lid, the rim was black & the inside a very dark colour, the waitress came to collect the empty plated & I said, the tea pot was a disgrace, it bleached & in this condition should not have been used, my wife was not pleased by what I'd said, s I right?
No your wife is correct, I would not have made a fuss over a tea pot, tea pots stain and if you keep bleaching them, they eventually lose all the taste and it just becomes a bleach taste!
We don't have tea in this house....but isn't it a fact that the tannin in tea discolours everything it touches - so the inside of any tea-pot is going to look black/discoloured?
