You mention resteeping the tea, getting like 12 uses out of it. Would you have to do all this in one day or is there a proper way to store it until you're ready to use it again?

I have looking for the answer ot this too. I have read on line about some people using the same tea for a few days but no says what they do with it. Do you leave it in the pot, put it in the fridge, take it out of the pot....???

OK, sorry about bumping an old thread, but I can't let this go unanswered.
You almost always use all the infusions at once (if you're drinking at your desk or something, you might spread them out over the course of a morning or a day). Leaving tea wet overnight is kind of like making a compost heap in your teapot (and it gets kinda disgusting after a while, trust me ), and supposedly (according to Chow & Kramer's _All the Tea in China_) there've been Chinese studies claiming that there could be health risks (even cancer, IIRC) associated with doing that.
Do you have links to such studies? These are pretty big claims, and I may not be a bio-chemical engineer but I find this hard to believe.
