Yixing pots, or what my daughter likes to call "Dad's teeny teapots made from magic dirt", are terrific for brewing oolong, and, as I've recently discovered, perfect for pu'er.
How do you clean them? If you're from the "the pot will absorb the flavors of the tea and improve with age" school of thought, you may want to rub your finger around the inside of the pot and have a look. Yuck!
Is it a good idea to boil them out every so often?
