I think real world experience will vary. My basic brewing parameter
is adding boiling water for three minutes in 1/2L pot for any tea.
The first pot is the euphoric hum with an occasional oolong and green
which might make a second pot tasting flat but no buzz. I think
smaller pots saturate faster limiting extraction while I go for the
gusto in the first pot. I know I don't leave 50 percent of the
caffeine in the pot. Don't sip tea. Coat your throat and warm your
stomach.
