Java tea- second steeping

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

When I brew this tea in a Bodum Pavina glass, it turns from bright to dull red like a lava flow. It is the tea version of a lava lamp. The infused leaf has a crusted look. It looks like you could use it for grit. I'll give you the tropical floral flavor but I can taste the mineral residue I find in tropical plants. Wake up and smell the java err lava err whatever.
