I personally stay away from stainless steel with the exception of boiling water. I would use either porcelain or Yix...

I think you just answered your own question.

+1 Very informative comparison Andrew S Cheers!! Patina... It's not often that we get to compare two almost-identical teapots, one used and one clean, side-by-side.
