What difference does that make?

I find it makes the tea slightly weaker. It sometimes gets too strong too quickly when very hot water is poured directly on the tea bag.

most teas shouldn't be brewed in freshly boiled 100C water, but in roughly 90C

That's roughly 194 degrees if your water is American.

Well, you've just got to boil your water at 3000m then, it'll be perfect.
