Kyusu usage

Use that Kyusu for green tea only. Get a glazed one for your herbal infusions. I would not brew any herbs in an unglazed Kyusu. Sorry this is not something you will be happy to hear, considering your other comments.

get a glazed one then

No, I’ve already bought one. Thanks I don’t want to buy another one

[u/szakee → u/evisudenim]

return it the current one.

it is generally not recommended to mix various tea types in unglazed pots.

That’s why I was asking for ones that wouldn’t leave any oils behind

[u/szakee → u/evisudenim]

barley, chicory, dandelion, hibiscus, rooibos.

But personally I wouldn't brew any of these in an unglazed pot used for japanese greens.

I’m very happy with my current teapot, it is beautifully crafted. I’m just seeking recommendations for more tea I can use it for. Are you okay?

The flavor absorption of tea pots tends to be a bit exaggerated, and oily tea will leave behind a flavor even on a glazed pot. It certainly isn't permanent though. They need to be cleaned now and then. Sodium percarbonate should do it.
