"Don't get too worked up about the temperature of your water. A 20-degree difference is not going to ruin anything! If you don't own a thermometer, just bring your water to a boil (but don't overboil or you'll boil all the oxygen out of the water, which can make for bitter tea, believe it or not) and let it sit for 1 minute before adding it to the teapot or teacup."
