Well I'm not satisfied.
I think it's reasonable to suppose that the tea leaching out of the leaves enters into equilibrium with the tea soaking back into the leaves.
Drink the tea put in more hot water and voila more tea.
With the premium green tea this seems to go on all day. And when I come in the next day it seems I could continue again. I don't simply because I want a fresh start every day and each new pot takes longer.
