I don't reuse my leaves, even for the $10/can Ministry of Tea I use. It's never as good.
In the evenings, I drink TJ's decaf Irish breakfast, but it's not as good as the leaded stuff: takes longer to steep and just disappoints.
But she was naked! And all... articulate!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The Candy Cane Weapons of The North Pole
In matters of Christmas security, Santa’s Defense Forces rely on a homegrown candy cane-based weapon system. The heart of the system is the Candy Cane Carbine (C3), a modular candy small arm that can be adapted for a variety of roles, from close-ranged gifting to long range bah-humbug suppression. And for gravely naughty or armor-plated threats to Christmas and Santa, there is the candy cane of last resort—the Mark 12 Tenenbaum Launcher—which fires a ballistic christmas tree.
I just love the uniforms of Santa’s Little Secret Service/Santa’s Defense Forces....

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
In Moldova we used the tea three times, and would reuse from the previous day. Sometimes I reuse here, sometimes I don't.

We always get Tower of London tea by Harney & Son's for Dad for gifts; it's pricey, but it's WONDERFUL.
Regular tea? Mom and Dad buy from Stash Teas in bulk. Seriously.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Whoah. Those prices are ridic
But the Jasmine Dragon Pearl tea is like crack. Crack. I haven't tasted an alternative that's anywhere near as tasty. And a second blend within the same day is still better than most other brands of jasmine green tea.
My god, I just interrupted the all hands IT meeting to object that Community was a better geek TV show than Big Bang Theory. Because that's how people need to know me.

Not in the end if you're double brewing Teavana and not Upton, though.
