Edit: pu’er, black, green, white tea. Love it all and drink it more than I drink coffee. No need to start a culture war; taste is as individual as humour.

No microwaved water is just wrong.
There is actually zero difference. I promise you won’t be able to blind pick the microwaved cup better than chance, assuming all other prep is the same.
Exactly. I usually microwave a cup and then throw in the teabag. If gas stoves were not so inefficient I wpuld heat it on there but it takes about 5 times as long as in a microwave and tastes the same.
Get an electric kettle. Tea should be brewed at an appropriate temperature for its style, and microwaving the water is inaccurate. Electric kettle will get you the right temp every time nearly as fast.
Hey man, use a kettle, I got no problem with using a purpose made tool. I just hate the immediate, blind snobbery towards microwaves as if they somehow taint the tea, and not the brewers lack of care.
