Your teabag takes the heavy metals out of the water it’s brewed in, if there are any present. 

(Just don’t use a plastic teabag and put plastic back in at the same time)

Dang. I would leave the bag in while I drink since I thought I was getting "more tea" out of the bag.

I used to do this too until I realized more often than not I was burning the tea!

Now I steep it in as long as listed on the bags, usually 30-120 seconds, set it aside, then once I drink the tea I'll pour myself a second cup and place the the teabag again.

Tastes way better this way!

I always multi-pour

hot water -> over tea bag
pour result -> over tea bag again
turn tea bag over
pour result -> over tea bag again
pour result -> over tea bag again

<drink>

Yup, especially green tea!

Burning might be the wrong word but if the water is a high enough temperature it can quickly degrade the quality of the leaves and instead give them a bitter taste
