How do I clean my Yixing teapot?

Because of the pores of the Yixing clay, soap and cleaners will be absorbed and impart a taste to your next pot of tea. To clean a Yixing pot, simply rinse out and air dry and keep away from strong odors. Which teas should I make in a Yixing teapot? We recommend using Yixing teapots only for oolongs, reds, and pu'ers because Yixing teapots tend to absorb the flavors of the tea. This is a good thing when it comes to oolongs, reds and pu'ers and a bad thing when it comes to green teas. Green teas are so sensitive and need to be drunk as fresh as possible so its best to use a porcelain gaiwan to avoid getting any "volunteer" flavors. Also, since green tea is so sensitive to heat, using a gaiwan helps to prevent overheating which causes bitterness.
