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.

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.
