No, of course we don't microwave the mug WITH the teabag in it. We microwave the teabag separately.

I once had a colleague who would get hysteric when someone would clean the coffee machine. People are weird. Not cleaning tea potts and even mugs is also quite common among elder germans. They argue it tastes better that way. (They drink the tea without sugar or milk, so it probably isn't thaaat bad.)

The fuck you mean sweetening the tea. Raw or bust for classic loose leaf undbroken tea brews.
Only for things like panning I would consider sweeting or low quality stuff specifically produced to do that.
But never add sugar to my gyokuro!
