/ck/, help me out. I have a yixing teapot and it got a thin layer of dust-like mold inside. This happened after I forgot about it for several months with a tiny bit of dried leaves left inside. The smell wasn't too strong but noticeable.
I read on what to do with it and the most recommended solution I found was to gently wash it from mold and boil it for an hour or so in a large pot of water. I did it, and the mold/smell seem to be gone, for several days at least. Now it just smells of tea.
Still I'm a bit nervous about it, is it safe to brew tea in it?

You boiled it. That would kill anything that might be present inside or outside. How could it possibly harm you?
Of fucking course it's safe.

Well yeah but the thing is, I read that the spores can survive boiling temperatures by putting themselves into a dormant state. So they can in theory resurface again. I read about cases like these, but they were worse than mine
I have a dry and clean room though

*tougher spores can survive boiling

Give it a few more rinses with boiling water. You'll be fine.
