Probably a tag to keep the tea bag from dropping to the bottom of the cup.

Panel 5: another instance of the caffeine = meth trope.
I was a late adopter of coffee, and before I first started drinking it, I’d heard for years from people who claimed they weren’t really awake until they’d had their coffee. Now I’m a coffee nerd, drinking 14 oz flat whites brewed from about 40 grams of coffee most days, and I find that it makes pretty much no difference to my alertness whether I’m drinking caffeinated or decaf.
And yes, I’m an introvert.
The main struggle I have with caffeine is the withdrawal headaches. That’s a real effect on me even if the stereotype of it being a strong stimulant isn’t. It’s why I often drink decaf, I’m drinking coffee for the flavor, not the effect, so some days I skip coffee because I don’t feel like drinking it that day, and I don’t want to be punished with a headache for being fickle.
I’d drink decaf exclusively but I’ve found relatively few decaf bean sources that I enjoy.

It similarly wouldn't surprise me if Dora actually gave Sam a latte with the absolute least amount of decaf coffee possible without Sam twigging on that it was basically just a cup of steamed milk, and Sam's reaction here is essentially psychosomatic.
also, @Andrybak, thank you for tracking down that article. I'd only heard about it third-hand, and I didn't mean to imply either student had died.

Tea bag!? *shudder* Western barbarians...
As for the supposed evils of caffeine, parents seem quite happy to let children way younger than 13 guzzle caffeinated, sugar-loaded soft drinks.
