Don't brew fresh Japanese teas such as sencha and matcha in clay Chinese teapots, these teas have heavy residue and are better brewed in glazed vessels or in glass.
Clay is best for aged teas or teas that *can* be aged.
Never wash a clay teapot with soap. The soap can get in the clay and impact the flavor.
Wash the pot with boiling water and, if a stain bothers you, a gentle cloth. 4/
