I usually drink 7 or more cups a day but rarely feel the caffeine
because those cups are from multiple steeps with no more than 3 setups
of leaves. The last time I felt a buzz was in one sitting when I
greedily went alone to a new gongfu teahouse that opened on the fringes
of New York's Chinatown; they pack a Yixing pot very aggressively and
I drank 6 steeps.
