Can I steep the leaves more than once?

Many whole-leaf teas can be steeped again, but the result depends on the tea. Use fresh water, taste the second infusion and extend the time slightly if needed.

Fruit, finely cut and heavily flavoured blends may give less on a second steep. The packet or product page takes priority where it gives specific guidance.
