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

Tea is an inefficient delivery system for caffeine. If there's no caffeine in it, it's a warm beverage that relaxes you. So why would the industrious German worker bee want to bother with tea bags when coffee is right there? Unless of course the bee is sick and needs to relax, doctor's orders, to get back to work as soon as possible. ;)

Proper good tea is way more expensive than coffee anyway. And buying inexpensive coffee (beans) can easily be masked by milk and sugar...
