Left cast iron teapot full of tea for 2 months, now all tea tastes bad
Posted: Tue May 02, 2023 8:14 am
Hello,
We carelessly left tea in our cast iron teapot (from Marriage Frères, so probably enamel on inside originally) for around 2 months. After that my husband noticed it smelled so he cleaned it possibly with soap, not sure, and then with another product. I've tried making tea in the pot a couple of times since but it has what I would call a metal-y taste which I can't stand. Do you know of any solution for this problem? I drink a lot of green tea but also black teas and other types (red, herbal, etc;)
Attached are a couple of photos.
Thanks for your help.
