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

So, where do I put my gaiwan on the spectrum?

For when you actually want 10 tiny cups of tea.

[–] Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Rookie numbers! Try 20-50 tiny cups.

At some point you need to admit you're just drinking brown water and not tea anymore.

If you run into that problem, you need more tea leaves. Also, puerh can produce an amazing amount of tea.

Yeah, depends on the tea too. I have some teas that are done after 3-4 steeps, and some that just never end.

You boil water in a pot if you want to drink a cup off tea late at night and don't want the loud kettle to wake up the whole house.

Your kettle is that loud? The loudest part is the 1s jingle it plays after reaching my desired temp...And the volume isnt much louder than the microwave.
