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

is it even on the chart when my water cooler at home has a hot spigot that dispenses water at just the right temperature for tea brewing? it's basically like having a kettle that's always ready...

I fucking love the water cooler heaters, mine does ice cold on one side and boiling on the other and it's heavenly to have both immediately ready with water other than my horrifically heavy (and thus fuzzy) tap water

I got mine for less than $60 at Walmart like 5 years ago and it's still going strong, highly recommend to anyone

In the neighboring State from where I live in Brazil, a lot of gas stations have publicly accessible hot water taps. Even some parks and plazas have them. It's for the Mate drinkers to refill their Thermos.
