Hah! I've gotten that too! I get a lot of good new brews that way.
The worst trial I ever got as a tea snob was when my friend offered to make me a cup of tea along with hers. She got out a couple of mugs that probably held 1/2 cup of water each, jammed in a Lipton tea bag, filled them with water, splashed in some milk, and stuck them both in the microwave for a minute in a half.
Later, she asked me why I wasn't drinking my tea. "... Er, yes. I seem not to be thirsty today for some reason."
