Does the wooden fish stone cup have a taste

Wooden fish stone cups usually do not have a noticeable odor, but new cups may carry the natural scent of minerals themselves. Muyu stone is a natural mineral material mainly composed of montmorillonite and quartz. Its physical structure is stable and there are no volatile substances. Normal use does not produce a pungent or chemical odor. If there is an abnormal odor, it may be related to processing residues or storage environment. Wooden fish stone cups produced by legitimate manufacturers undergo high-temperature calcination and polishing treatment, resulting in fewer surface pores and less susceptibility to impurity adsorption. Rinse several times with boiling water before use to remove dust or packaging odors during transportation. After long-term brewing, tea stains may seep into tiny pores and produce a faint tea aroma, which is a normal phenomenon. Avoid using dishwashing detergent during daily cleaning. Use a soft cloth dipped in baking soda and warm water to wipe and keep the cup clean.

If a newly purchased wooden fish stone cup has a pungent odor similar to plastic or glue, be alert to the problem of poor quality dyeing or adhesive residue. Some unscrupulous merchants may use chemical dyes to imitate the texture of wooden fish stones, and such cups may release harmful substances when exposed to hot water. It is recommended to choose raw stone cups without paint or wax. Soak them in white vinegar and water for 2 hours before the first use, and then boil them in clean water for 10 minutes to help identify the safety of the material.

When storing wooden fish stone cups, it is necessary to keep them ventilated and dry. A humid environment may lead to the growth of mold and the production of a moldy smell. When not in use for a long time, it can be packed in a breathable cloth bag and placed in a cool place. Natural wood fish stone has weak far-infrared effect and negative ion release characteristics. Under normal use, it is not only harmless, but also can improve water quality and taste. If the taste persists or causes discomfort, it is recommended to replace the product purchased through regular channels.
