While cast iron pots are seen all over, I've read some Teaists who say that after infusing teas in them for several months, they get a coating of resin inside that is difficult to remove and affects the taste of the tea. They can only remove it by putting their kettles into a fireplace and burning them red hot for a while. Washing didn't seem to do the trick. Do you find this also?
I've seen this residue on the insides of glass tea kettles, and it's hard enough to scrape it off glass. It must be next to impossible to get it off cast iron.

hehehe I drink a lot of tea at work. Mainly it gives me something to do and I enjoy the taste. If I wasn't drinking tea it would be soft drinks or water. I need something to do with my hands and holding a mug, fiddling with a mug, drinking from a mug works great. I find that the caffeine content in most teas is enough to deal with my ADHD so that is good.
I have some residue in my tea pot. It was line with enamel so it is not too hard to clean. I am pretty bad about cleaning it though. I do it about once a week. I have been tying with a green tea pot for green teas, a red tea pot for red teas, and the black tea pot for black teas. I am not sure that my desk has enough space for all of that.
