This seems to be a common question on various cookery lists
but the answers are seldom posted. It seems many people have Joyce Chen
"tetsubin" teapots that are rusting apparently and are seeking help with
those.
(Many are being advertised that they are finished with enamel on the
inside to prevent /rusting/.)
Ok, more success with different search terms

http://whatscookingamerica.net/Information/CastIronPans.htm talks
about seasoning
and cooking in cast iron, but doesn't offer any hints on teapots. Not a
bad article though.
Hope this helps,
