That's a good point: maybe by choosing to do so at the office one can
break the monotony of the day by having to consciously pay attention
to those wet leaves, if only for a moment. My problem is I usually
forget about them.

The thing that I didn't really see overtly mentioned is that multiple
infusions done right (yes, I'd say almost immediately one after
another) is quite time consuming. This is not to suggest that it
should be considered a chore, but just the opposite. I wouldn't worry
about multiple infusions unless you're drinking the tea without
distraction, as an end in and of itself. Otherwise, for me anyway, I
always fail. When I make tea in the office, or at night when reading,
I almost never use the leaves more than once, simply because I drink
the tea gradually over the course of an hour or so.

My experience is different. Running multiple steeps at the office
isn't as focused as doing it at home and/or with friends, but for me
it's much better than making tea at the office in a way that's
guaranteed to be less interesting.
