Not so. There are many different teas, and you should match your brewing method to the tea. For example, you will ruin green teas if you brew them at the high temperature needed to extract the flavour from Oolong. More elaborate methods are also appropriate when you make tea for guests, simpler when you just want a nice cup for yourself.

I would be the last person to criticise you. If you think you take tea seriously watch this guy's videos (I couldn't find better English-language ones):

Bluesummers:
Well yeah, because I have stuff from teavana, I know the brewing requirements for white, green, oolong and black, as well as rooibos and yerba mate...I was implying that "high tea" was an almost identical practice anywhere in the British Commonwealth, be it England or New Zealand. ^^;;

I like my tea heater. It dispenses hot water at 175, 195 or 208 Fahrenheit, depending on what tea I'm brewing. It also has a de-ionizer. Now if I could only find the power cord...

Redball:
Hardware store? homedepotlowesmenards? They're not usually hard to find unless it's a real odd one.

Bluesummers:
It's proprietary...I'll probably have to contact Zojirushi for another one.  :'(

Redball:
You're right about proprietary, if this Amazon listing is an indication. Not nice of them! I'm a little compulsive about replacing a missing power cord, even if I haven't used the appliance for years. Dumb.
