Can you use the tea leaves again for a second cup of tea?

Yes, if you're doing a second infusion, we recommend making sure the water is very hot, and letting it steep 3-5 extra minutes.

I wouldn't recommend it, even with pretty hot water and a long re-steep, the second infusion is a weak shadow of the first. I would get it anyways though, the first infusion is so excellent that it's worth only getting one steep out of it.

Oolongs are great for multiple steeps! So are a lot of other teas. Sometimes reviewers mention whether or not a tea worked well for multiple infusions, so I recommend looking through the reviews. If you choose likes instead of time for the review order

In my experience, the first steep is the best, but the second steep is pretty good. In my opinion the third steep isn't worth it.
