SWMBO has a traditional cast iron Japanese tea pot that she has used regularly for 25 years. The brew is kept warm by a small spirit burner and it is has only ever been hand washed.

Inside the surface is coated with some a black layer of something that obviously resists water and tea but last week it developed some rust spots.
Anyone have a idea what that coating might be?
