    No, it doesn’t actually matter as to the quality of the tea. Hot water is hot water. Assuming you don’t just microwave til it’s boiling, and instead get it to the proper temperature, there will be 0 difference.

    A lot of electric kettles have fine temperature control, so it’s easier to dial in on an exact temperature. Brewing a lot of teas too hot will burn them and make them taste bitter. This is 100% a temperature thing, though, and what you use to make it hot has no impact.
