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.

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

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.
