I work at a tea shoppe and we hand wash all our tea cups and tea pots.. sometime there will be a tea stain that you can not wash out with just soap and water. So what we will do is pour about a cap full of bleach in a cup (a little bit more in a pot) and add water... Then let it sit for a little bit. then wipe out and rinse.. this should get rid of it. Sometimes though, it is impossible to get rid of these stains and will be a slight discolor of the cup on a few spots.

A dry paste of baking soda will work just fine. Bon Ami will also work, again, dry paste. Dry paste would translate as a very small amount of water (drops) added to make it moist but still crumbly.
Just rub it around with your fingers or a soft cloth or paper towel. Rinse. It also works for those gray streaks on plates from silverware.
