How many times do you use/reuse loose leaf tea?

Question

and also how do you store it after its been brewed once?

Answer 1

You can use them twice for a really good cup.  I'm sure you could do more, but the tea would be really weak.  I managed a Tea Cottage and we used them no more than twice.

Answer 2

i use them twice (make a cup for me, a cup for my husband) and toss them out, mostly because i haven't found a way to store them where they aren't slimy when i come back for them...
