Reheating Tea

A question to the professionals I have a nice tea pot, but I only drink one cup at a time and it is just me so I never get to use it. But if I did use it, can I reheat the tea at a later time, or does it taste like crap then? If you can, how long will it last, should I finish the pot that day, the next day?
It is flavored rooibos or black that I make, if that makes a difference.

Yeah, I do this too. Apparently you *shouldn't* although I'm not sure why, but I've never been ill or suffered death because of it and I've done it for years.
If you use teabags, or have a teapot with a brewing section, you can remove the tea once it has brewe, in which case microwaving will be fine for every day tea, but you will lose some of the subtleties of finer teas.
A friend of mine even heated the water in the microwave before putting the tea bag in instead of boiling it. Never done that, but it worked for him.
Thats really confusing It is just http://www.target.com/Copco-Take-Time-for-Tea-3-pc-Tea-Set/dp/B000EN46NA/ref=br_1_5?ie=UTF8&id=Copco%20Take-Time-for-Tea%203-pc%20Tea%20Set&node=45958011&searchSize=30&searchView=grid5&searchPage=1&sr=1-5&qid=1287851654&rh=&searchBinNameList=subjectbin%2Cprice%2Ctarget_com_primary_color-bin%2Ctarget_com_size-bin%2Ctarget_com_brand-bin&searchRank=pmrank&frombrowse=1 you put your tea in the ball and hook it to the lid and let it soak, then I take it out after how ever long the bag of tea told me.
And thanks for your help! It seems easy enough to try but I didn't want it to taste like shit after microwaving and find out the hard way by putting it in my mouth
Thats how I always do it, but I Feel bad when I see the teapot sitting there all lonley and unused and I wanted to change that.
Apparently this can be quite dangerous, because the bubbles sometimes can't form for boiling, so the water heats past boiling point, and the water can blow up in your face after you take it out the microwave.
