As for using tea more than once, do you let it dry out between
steepings or should the 2nd steep be in the same sitting (i.e. not
saved for another time)?

Just another opinion here - I never do multiple steeps with any of
my teas. I enjoy tea a lot, but I am also very keen on the health
benefits and I cannot believe that 2nd (or later) steepings have as
much of the beneficial compounds in them. I also like a mild
caffeine punch, which is very attenuated in multiple steeps.

The types of tea that are multiple steeped most often are oolongs
and pu-erhs.
