Charlie, I would think by the time you take the water kettle off the burner and go to pour water over your tea it's no longer 212 degrees. So we're safe.
Looks like they were right, the most teas on the least are made with water that is less than boiling. Of course there is a debate if herbal tea is actually a tea or not. But the thread, as it always happens, by now, went totally different direction. The question was why manufacturer did not want the bag of tea to be squeezed.
