What? Remember, I'm still learning and new to this. You are saying that
the subsequent infusions should be shorter than the first? If anything,
I've been doing just the opposite usually exending subsequent steep
times slightly. Am I doing this wrong? Will I get better results by
shortening my subsequent infusions.
BTW: I have been testing for bitterness and learned the breaking point
for my teas. I don't have a problem with bitterness on multiple
infusions - or if I do, I don't use that tea for multiple infusions.
