"Hot water and a cup for making tea..."

Tea needs to be made with _boiling_ not boiled water. The amount of places that present you with a cup of warm water and expect you to put a tea-bag into it, is upsetting*.

For reference, the correct way of making tea: http://h2g2.com/edited_entry/A61345



Tea is best when the water is 140F - 185F. ( why? see, for instance http://www.thefragrantleaf.com/green-tea-brewing-tips )

Oh, you meant that _other_ kind of tea.
