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

Guess I'm not picky enough to notice a difference between the temps my tea is made at (I just shake the bag until it has broadly the right colour), although I don't have much taste left since covid anyways.

But will have a look for one with multiple temp settings for other purposes, if this one ever kicks the bucket.

bagged tea could care less. if you steep it 1min it will more or less taste similar to doing it the recommended time.
Loose leaf tea will notice it. It will either be too light, too bitter or just right and anything inbetween ;)
