You are scalding the tea, it makes it slightly more bitter than it should be.
It’s even worse if you do it with green tea

Although at the office I’m drinking rooibos with the tea bag left in the cup.
That’s acceptable

80-85°C is the correct water temperature. Get a kettle that can do that temperature for you. It’s life changing

I am impressed with the tea talk 
Does it count that I make rooibos, leave it over night and then pour it into the pot plants

No. You’re supposed to drink it. The teabag and its contents can go to the plants.

Hmm, I wonder why. I know Epson Salts are supposed to be good for Lillys.

I suspect the tannins.
We used the rooibos in tropical fish tanks to keep fish happy and healthy

but wtf. Some barbarians in here destroying their tea with too much heat. Surely we are more civilized than that… We are meant to be better, do better… What will our childrens children say one day when they find out?

Apart from the milk and boiling the water this is exactly how I do it as well.
Or if I can’t even be bothered to wait for the kettle I use the Tefal quick cup thingy.
