wiltsman...just common sense to me !
On a side issue, my old Mum went to her grave 20 years ago, never knowingly or willingly ever having consumed tea from a bag. I can remember her tearing one apart when I was a young lad and comparing the black dust therein, with the "proper" tea leaves in her tea caddy.
Tea pots were the order of the day. She must be rolling in her grave these days, as my tea pot rarely comes out of the cupboard.
But I have one of those plunger tea pots which I might bring out later today, as this debate has fired me up !

One might brew black tea with boiling water, but by the time you pour it into your bone china/porcelain cups the teapot and standing time will have cooled it.
In any case one has teabags these days unless you are one of those rare traditionalists. The bag goes into the large mug, and then you pour the boiling water over it. It stands for a while, you stir/bash it about a bit, remove the bag. Then the rest is added to taste. Although it is the milk that makes change as it is chilled and drops the temperature further; something you should avoid prior to brewing. Sugar/sweetener can be added in earlier if desired.

I can remember some years ago on the programme Countdown they had a guest who was relating a tale of when he had stayed overnight at a Stately Home. At breakfast it was the routine to help oneself from the sideboard & one Gentleman was pouring himself a cup of tea when his wife sitting at the table exclaimed in a very cultured voice '' what on earth are you doing darling'' he replied '' I'm pouring myself a cup of tea'' she said ''but you're putting the milk in first which is what the common people do & why we call them The Mifs ( milk in firsts).
