Sometimes making tea is less about drinking it and more about keeping you company.

AND ALSO DON'T MAKE ME ONE WHILE YOU'RE THERE CAUSE I WON'T DRINK IT.

Tea posting again. Don't mind me.

About the microwave thing.

So, as a general rule, heating water in the microwave is quite dangerous cause it can get super heated. The recommended tempriture for black tea (and some infusions) is boiling water so getting it to boiling point without it being dangerous is difficult. In the end most people heat it to a drinkable tempriture. This vastly changes the flavour of the tea. There's also the fact that microwaves aren't always especially great at heating thing evenly. This gets down in to the science of the way microwaves move and why there is a turn table in your microwave. (Microwaves are fascinating, but that's a story for another time).

That's the heat water add bag method. Other methods of microwave tea include putting the tea bag in cold water and microwaving that. So you're bringing it up from cold to hot while brewing/stewing it.

Then there's reheating tea in the microwave. This changes the flavour of it too.

I stand by my post in that the perfect cup of tea is however you want to drink it (and I am personally Very Fussy about how I drink my tea). So like, it pains me but if you enjoy your microwave concoction go ahead, just be careful. And also don't make me one while you're there cause I won't drink it.

Daily tea #13.

One does not appreciate their morning tea smelling like tuna and tasting like raw pasta.

The taste of the cardamom was too strong for my liking. It could use a little sweetener, such as sugar, honey, or maple syrup.

A tender wonder to put one into the holiday spirit.

I am not one to enjoy excessive sweetness, but the strawberry does give more corps to the fleeting flavour of the flowers.

A strong black tea is always a delight to my taste.

Daily tea #6.

The sweet lightness of the flowers subtly contrats the bitterness of the lemon.

A shame I already tastes this one. In my opinion, one could not taste the honey enough. Still, a very fine black tea.
