no problem, just watch out for mold. I left damp tea in mine over night for weeks and it just conditions the pot faster. Mold is visible after a couple of days, but probably starts growing sooner, so if your tea has been left sitting for awhile it's probably best to use true boiling water to infuse so as to kill anything.
I'm wondering, is it OK to use it all the day (i.e. from 8:00AM to
5:00PM, leaving wet tea in the teapot all the time), if I "clean" it with hot water and remove the lid only at the end of each day?Benoît
