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

bagged tea could care less. if you steep it 1min it will more or less taste similar to doing it the recommended time.
Loose leaf tea will notice it. It will either be too light, too bitter or just right and anything inbetween ;)

I think that green tea bags are an exception, those'd be ruined immediately by boiling temps.
