The body has a very efficient system for recycling the old iron in discarded blood cells. If you have iron deficiency problems or possibly iron toxicity problems you should let your doctor know if you do use cast iron in your cooking and the extent in which it is used. It is well to reiterate that low iron is more likely to be a problem and cast iron cooking can be an inexpensive and satisfying way to solve this problem. If you do use cast iron consult your doctor before taking any other iron supplements.

If you are concerned about safety or even the notion that a unseasoned cast iron could rust, look for one with a baked-on, nonreactive interior finish. Or consider Japanese-style cast-iron tea pots, which look great and have a baked-on, nonreactive interior surface much like the enameled finish on a cast-iron sink. These pots were originally designed for heating water for tea, but they are great for brewing loose tea, too. Most now come with an infuser basket (strainer). They're available in sizes that range from single to multiple cups. These pots do a great job in keeping tea warm.
Here's a link to a place with a great selection and pretty decent prices.

Whatever might leach into the tea is inert. Contray to popular belief, cast iron is NOT a source of dietary iron, and in the form of cast iron cannot be absorbed by our bodies. It just passes on thru.

Most cast-iron teapots I have seen are used exclusively for wood burning stoves. They keep the air humidified.
I would guess it would be impossible to clean well enough for cooking with.
