I'm in a hotel in America with no kettle in my room, if I want tea I have to microwave it.

Is this the point where you are the traveler who cannot adapt? I kid as this is a minor issue to address and you deserve tea.
I don’t know but every instance I’ve been told is that I’m the traveler, Im the asshole… I am the person who should buck the fuck up… not because I’ve done anything wrong but assumptions were made.
I’m well travelled and appreciate all cultures but when I receive European travelers they mock me incessantly about the imperial system while I smile and nod…
No, this is a unique case of two dog shit cultures smashing into each other. If in doubt I'm going to side with the invader.¹
So if you dont mind it being slightly coffee flavored, you can put tea bags in the drip coffee machine. Puts boiling water on leaves. But as mentioned they dont really clean the insides of those-it's sanitary enough with the boiling water, but youll still get some coffee contamination. On the plus side, the Lipton twigsnroots tastes about the same as the cheap coffee already.
¹what the fuck else do you call someone from either of these cultures when they go outside?
Are you advising a camping stove in a hotel room?
No sweet pea… just noting any number of ways to find hot water and poking holes in a reliance of tea?
Think of US tourists who fail to adapt to local culture and raise a stink…
Then imagine the same but based around tea time… then imagine the same folks mocking you for not being metric.
Oh yes, it's exactly equivalent to US tourists wanting their Starbucks.
Although boiling water is much more universal than a pumpkin spiced oat milk latte.
