For multiple steepings it is really convenient to use a "magic
steeper" or what we call a simple steep. I hate to be commercial here
but there is a picture on the front page of our online store www.admaritea.com
but before anyone complains about a self serving post, these things
are available on many sites! The nice thing is the steeped tea drains
from the bottom leaving the leaves in the mug ready to accept a second
steep.

Personally, I find the greens, oolongs and pu'rehs work the best for
multiple steeping. For me, black tea loses too much flavor for a
second go 'round. In a prior post, someone was not as positive about
multiple green steeping. That might be that the water is too hot or
the step time too long on the first steep.
