They're either some kind of thin metal, some kind of porcelain, or cast iron. I haven't found a good clay or stone teapot since I got here. I didn't worry about it too much earlier in the month because there were more important things to worry about. But the last week and a half, I've really missed being able to make myself some tea that doesn't taste funny because of the pot it was brewed in.

[This is a problem, okay.]
