Yay, good luck!
You may even start converting the office little by little!

I'm lucky when it comes to brewing tea at work, since my home place is my work place.

As far as i know, it's not good to microwave tea water cause it will affect it's quality

i also have and electric kettle at work, some infusers and a tea pot

Off-hand, I can't think of why this would be the case. But I don't microwave tea water, because I have more convenient methods.

Well, it's not proven, but i have made my own observations regarding this when it comes to taste, and also the water sometimes being insanely hot

I'm not allowed to post links but if you google for 'microwaving tea water' the first article that comes up has a very good description of things that happen when you microwave water

Microwaved water cools down very quickly. if you like to drink your tea like a shot of whisky its fine but if you want to enjoy it you end up with half a cup of cold tea.

btw the water heater in the previous link works great.

I have already converted my boss from her coffee in the morning to twinnings earl grey bagged tea. :D


I also sent her home with a couple to loose samples and some instructions.

She is liking the loose bravo and lemon grass so far the only ones she has tried out of the samples.

I should note that the site I posted earlier is a little shady. I ended up ordering a slightly different model from newegg.com

Thanks
