No, of course we don't microwave the mug WITH the teabag in it. We microwave the teabag separately.

It’s foul. Cup of Tannin, more like.

... wait, there are some americans who put the tea BAG in the microwave with the water?!?

I've MADE tea using a microwave before and it was ALWAYS "heating the water in the microwave, then adding the teabag to the hot water", it never even crossed my MIND to have the tea bag inside the microwave, and frankly that sounds AWFUL.

Maybe, who knows? Reheating tea though is absolutely foul. Worse than reheating coffee, somehow, and reheating coffee is pretty bad.

Why would you reheat tea in the first place? Just pour more boiling water in it.

Close enough to zero to be a rounding error, I'd bet.
