Clay
Clay teapots are typically used to brew green teas since the porous clay absorbs the flavor of each brew. This creates a deeper and richer flavor with each new brew. This also means that the stoneware teapot can only be used to brew one type of tea.

Some of the most popular clay teapots include the Banko-yaki and the Tokoname-yaki. These two teapots contain clay iron that enhances the umami notes in green teas by interacting chemically with tannins. The clay teapots can also produce a more mellow and even flavor without the bitterness associated with some green tea brews.

Porcelain
Japanese porcelain teapots are generally used for other types of tea. Since the porcelain is not porous, it doesn't absorb flavor and can be used to brew different types of tea.

Glass
Glass and stainless steel are rare when it comes to Japanese tea consumption. There are no classic Japanese teapot styles that used glass. However, glass teacups are fairly common when drinking iced green tea.


Choosing A Filter
Most Japanese tea sets feature built-in tea infusers of filters. The most common materials are clay and porcelain. The material matches the construction of the kyusu or hôhin and keeps the leaves or tea dust from entering teacups when poured. Some Japanese style teapots contain metal filters. Most tea connoisseurs avoid metal since it may alter the flavor of certain types of tea. When choosing a Japanese teapot, clay and porcelain seem to be the clear winners.
