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.
