Badly made cups of tea are a personal bugbear of mine. Go into a chain coffeeshop and order a latte and the barrista will prance about elaborately, making a big song and dance out of getting that milky coffee just so. Order a cup of Earl Grey and the barrista will slide a paper mug filled with lukewarm water and a teabag in your direction and furnish you with a look of scarcely concealed disdain. Or - worse - s/he'll bung in the milk in with the tea bag at the same time, producing a concoction that hasn't a hope in hell of ever brewing. Before I go off on an even longer rant, let me just draw your attention to this excellent Teastick, which lets you use tea leaves in your mug without creating a mess. It also doubles up as the scoop and spoon, so you'll be able to create the perfect cuppa at home even if you're unwelcome in Starbucks. Incidentally, I'm in good company with my tea rage - Douglas Adams and George Orwell both had strong views on the subject.
