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

I’m an American who drinks tea. I’d love to hear from our distant countrymen on how accurate this is.

100% spot on. Microwaved tea is comparable I would say to microwaving a steak

Not British, but in my experience... accurate.

I mean, I'm also not British and am roughly aligned with this spectrum myself.

Look, if you can tolerate the absolute nonsense you hear from Americans about how to make coffee you can deal with me having a spice rack specifically to make tea.
