Initiation:
Before first use, rinse it with hot water, then let it dry completely!
Usage:
Avoid placing it on hot surfaces, like stove, and never use in microwave or oven.
Cleaning:
Tea stain is the natural part of a teapot's "maturing process", but if you prefer to avoid it, rinse the teapot well after every use, do not let the tea leaves sit in it for too long. It is better to avoid dishwashing liquid, but you can use gentle, organic soap to clean your pot. Never use bleach!
Avoid using dishwasher or dryer!
To clean the built-in strainer, run water backwards from the spout, or use a toothbrush or toothpick.
Storage:
After use, always let it dry completely, for if stored away while still wet, it might develop an unpleasant smell or mold.
Non-glazed ceramic tea pots absorb scents and flavours, so only prepare one class of tea in them (green tea, black tea, roasted tea, etc).

I purchased this teapot to see if a clay teapot would actually affect the taste of the tea. I'm by no means an expert tea taster, but I did find that there was a marked difference. It seems to tone down some of the tannin taste - the flavour seems to be a little milder. I have tried both genmaicha and oolong teas. To be honest, I'm not sure if I like the effect that it has, but perhaps that's because I haven't found the right tea yet. For the teas that I've tried so far, I feel that it dulls the taste rather than improving it. Esthetically, it's a pretty cute shape - short and stubby. It's neat to be able to see the tea steeping and control the angle as you pour to prevent spills because there is no lid. You need to be careful when drying off the tea pot because the brushed pattern on the outside catches fabric fibers very easily. The ceramic filter in the teapot has a very fine mesh so this could be a good option for tea with smaller leaves.
