Well, I think multiple infusions may be tough to do with your current
setup. Not that there is anything wrong with it, just that it isn't
optimal for multiple infusions beyond maybe two. I'm not sure what
kind of tea you are drinking either, so maybe let us know that bit of
info too if you would.


Sorry, but he's using a mug, not a big pot, with the infuser basket.
With a decent green tea, I would expect three infusions, more if it's
a really good tea. Brewed this way, oolongs and Pu'ers should support
more than three infusions.


Oops, sorry, I saw Chatsford and my mind skipped over the mug bit... I
assumed it was a Chatsford teapot/infuser. Good catch Lew.
