I put the teabag in first so the hot water will hit it and move it around and release the flavour.

Microwave the water on high for ten minutes, drop the teabag in, and run for my life

The teabag. Otherwise it would float on top, similarly to why you put cerial in before milk.

Tea bag first, then freshly boiled hot water.
