    I’ve seen microwave tea as putting the tea bag in the cup and then microwaving it, which is slightly not ideal imo, but to each their own

      That is probably for safety. If you microwave water without anything for it to nucleate on, then it can be liquid above the boiling point. If you then put a tea bag in, it will explode into steam in your face.

      Bad idea if there is a staple in the tag on the tea bag.

      But really is just boiling water. Heat is heat.
