Letting your tea rest after shipping?

So I've been hearing that letting the tea rest for a week after you've received it (especially if it's been shipped internationally) is recommended. Do people actually do this, and if so, does it make a difference to the taste?

Charity shop Yixing find - any help ID-ing the seals/clay?

This was sold as a Yixing clay teapot, bought for £19.95 (about $27) at a charity shop in London. I am not very knowledgeable about these teapots, so I'm just curious if it's a cheap souvenir or an actual Yixing pot of, at least, some quality, and if I can use it for brewing.

Would appreciate any help with reading the seals and guessing the clay type. Photos of the base, lid seal and full pot attached. Thanks in advance!

Forsvinner "etter at"?

Ser en en del yngre journalister osv sier skriver kun "etter" i stedet for "etter at." F.eks. "Der måtte hun kontakte både politiet og barnevernet etter vertsmoren hadde stjålet tingene hennes." (Fra en VG-video jeg akkurat så).

For meg høres det feil og anglifisert ut når "at" utelates i sånne setninger, men jeg er over 40 og har ikke bodd i Norge på 12 år, så det er kanskje snakk om en endring fra det siste tiåret som jeg ikke har fått med meg. Er det bare sånn yngre folk snakker i dag?
