Can I reuse loose tea leaves?

Yes, loose tea leaves can be reused. After brewing, the leaves can often be steeped multiple times, allowing you to get the most out of your tea. The number of times you can reuse the leaves depends on the type of tea and personal preference. Generally, black and herbal teas can withstand multiple infusions, while green and white teas may be best for one or two infusions. When reusing loose tea leaves, it's important to adjust steeping time and water temperature accordingly to prevent over-extraction or under-extraction. Experimentation with steeping times and ratios will help determine the best results for your desired flavor. Reusing loose tea leaves is not only a cost-effective measure but also a way to enjoy the subtle variations and complexities of different infusions.
