Sorry to think of this only after pulling in miles of this thread, but
Mike's post brings up an issue I sometimes wonder about. Most
teapots, especially those with a screen embedded in the spout, make it
nearly impossible to clean the interior of the spout. Admittedly, the
liquor doesn't contact the spout during the steep, but it sure does on
the way out. Maybe a gaiwan's the only choice for a cleanliness
freak?
