## Summary

How to get a second cup from loose-leaf green tea by re-steeping the same leaves: a short first steep, then a slightly longer one.

## Description

Good loose-leaf green tea is worth re-steeping: the same leaves will give you a second, and often a third, cup. The first steep is short and bright; the second, a touch longer because the leaves have already opened, comes out softer and grassier.
