Ridiculously expensive tea from artisanal tea gardens. Like four bucks and more per portion (which you can brew 6-12 times in that sitting, though). It's addictive and sets your standards so high, I can't drink cheap tea anymore

Herbal tea or tea tea?

Doesn't actual tea get unusable basically after the first wash due to tannins?

High quality tea can be brewed multiple times, you'd typically use a higher tea to water ratio than for a single steep though.

Green, pu erh and especially oolong teas also often change their flavor profile and taste in subsequent steeps, bringing out more nuanced flavors.
