Heating up a mug of water in the microwave is fine. I don’t get why people are so snobby about this. The water doesn’t care where the heat energy comes from.
Tea will taste different depending on what temperature water it’s brewed in, but I can’t think of any reason the water itself would be different.
e: The material of the vessel would matter. Perhaps you like the taste imbued by your kettle, which would be lacking if you heated the water directly in a mug.
What is this lunacy… at least boil it in a pot 😭
what size microwave do you have that can fit a full pot?

Use one of those mixing bowls that has a spout.

It definitely tastes different - flatter somehow. I don’t know why, but it does.
