Is it OK to heat up a cup of water in the microwave? Some say that it makes the tea taste flat. Is this true?

Heat the water before adding tea. Never had a problem.

True tea officianados do not drink tea that is brewed with microwave water. If you can tell the difference then heat it on the stove, if you can't then nuke away!!!!!!!

When a seed is watered with water that has boiled on the stove, the seed will grow. But, when a seed is watered with water that has been boiled in the microwave, it will not grow. That troubles me.

always tasted fine to me. just make sure you are not heating bottled water. it has very few impurities which gives it a very high boiling temp and will explode when you put the tea bag in if it is hot.

you can heat it up, it's just that the drink won't taste like when you use an actual kettle

You should put a straw in the water before you boil it.

It's fine. I've never noticed a flavor change.
