I swish pots and cups with boiling water more for hygienic rinse than
anything else. Also it helps eliminate previous ordors plus enhances
the initial aroma of the dry leaf. I can see preheating teaware if
there is a temperature contrast. For many years I drank out of large
porcelain mugs and on the cold mornings I thought I was at an A&W
drivein because I was too lazy to preheat.
