(adjust time downward for less than a mug of water. In fact, consider hitting that "beverage" button you don't use for the correct timing for your power level)

Just don't put the teabag in the water in the microwave.

It will be as much tea as any bagged tea be.

I tend to heat my tea water on the stove, and use loose tea in either my 2 cup or 4 cup glass pots.

I went to glass because I have some of those chrysanthemum teas that bloom when you pour the water on them, and I like to watch.
