/tea/bros, why do so few people opt to brew their gong fu tea in bulk?
Why brew a single cup at a time when you could spend 5-10 minutes to pour every steep into some vessel, like a huge flask, to keep it warm and then drinking from that for hours? Is the meme of "the flavor changes after each steep" really that profound? I personally have not ever noticed it. (at least from the second steep onwards, when the leaves actually open up)

I only ask this because it has become really inconvenient for me to brew, pour and drink 100ml of tea at a time, while I'm engaged in activities at my desktop. The cup's either still undrinkably hot or gone cold by the time I get to it.
