Great description... this is how my friend made tea for me at the tea house in northern Taiwan (I mentioned it a few posts up)... I was facinated by the process. At the end the pot was literally stuffed with leaves as they had expanded in the water to fill the smallish pot... This was after a few steepings...
A small kettle of water was kept warm beside the table on some sort of heating device so we could keep filling the pot and pouring water over the pot...
It really was a wonerful day and very nice setting in which to drink tea.
