I am a tea worm, I use to consume several kg of tea annually. I have often saw recommendation to not overheat tea over some degree of Celsius but when I try this I found the tea not ready. In fact I use to do opposite: I preheat the cup or teapot before throw some tea in it for making the tea even hotter.

Is it japanese green tea? Because that's what the article is about, if you're drinking black tea, or chinese teas, that is utterly irrelevant: they are different cultivars, selected and grown differently, with different harvesting and processing, and different brewing methods and temperatures.
You might well be Spiff and still have no useful input.
When I’ve had loose leaf tea poured for me, the first steep went down the drain. That achieves much the same thing, also gets rid of the little bits that can get stuck in your teeth.
Japanese green teas are not usually steeped multiple times (though most will allow for a few steepings, and a few are designed for that).
This sounds a lot more like chinese teas, which are designed for multiple short steepings (gongfu ceremony) and more or less require a rinsing first steep.
You know it’s the same plant right? There’s only so many ways you can prepare and handle wine. The real variety comes from using other plants for the fermentation.
