My Assam fannings taught me that a second steeping of black tea might be very good. You steep the first mug according to directions, then let the second one steep till it's lukewarm or ready to drink. I tried that with my Java tea, and got a second cup quite weak, but potable. And away from the Malawi, I can now taste the flowery taste in the Java. Still no lava taste, though. Toci
