As for the middle one I think I’d just be impressed at the effort

    “Boiled in a kettle” really makes me worry that they’re putting the tea bag in the kettle

      My grandfather used to put tea bags in a metal kettle and keep it on the stove on a low boil all day until it was the consistency of tar. I presume it went back to his time as a sailor where they could have a warm drink ready at any time but also be able to repair the boat too.

      There are kettles out there with steeping baskets like you’d put in a mug for loose leaf, but those probably get stained/dirty quickly. I wouldn’t use one.

      I can verify that this has happened. In my defense, Americans mostly learn fuck all about tea. And the difference between a tea kettle and a teapot is something which isn’t common knowledge throughout the States.
