More, give me more!

You have to see the process
She was filling the yixing teapot with water, emptying it, filling with tea, water, drenching the pot with hot water from outside, waiting 20? seconds, putting it into Gaiwan with a nose down, waiting again, then add water then pouring the content quickly into cups.
I don't know how much of tea she was using. I also don't know how much water she used. I guess you need an exact info to replicate it.
Even filling the yixing was odd. Always to the brim, then putting the cup on top, so that some water spills over.
I don't think I want so much hassle to make a good cup of tea. Call me lazy
