After reading up on the health benefit of tea, I have started drinking a cup a day. Not a fan of the taste (prefer my Kona coffee), but I have found that Silver Needle White Tea has a lot less objectionable taste than the other kinds of tea, so I have settled on that. My question is how many times can the loose tea leaves be reused/rebrewed before the medicinal component is exhausted? So far I have reused the leaves four times with no loss in taste, but then I'm not drinking it for the taste.
My method of brewing (in case that is important) is to bring a cup of water to a boil, remove from heat, let cool down four minutes, add the tea leaves, let steep five minutes, then strain.
