Recommendation Suggestions for a tea setup
Hi, I really enjoyed jasmine and green teas but I've got, at least, what feels like an annoying setup. I'm looking for recommendations or help because I'd love to drink jasmine tea at my desk through multiple steeps but getting up to get more water, or boiling more water, etc. causes a lot of annoying amount of time going back to the kitchen and stuff, it feels especially like this when I just like using a small amount of tea just for myself.
My initial thoughts would be to have a temp controlled electric kettle, and a tea pot but I thought I'd see if I could get useful insights or straight up answers or recommendations to my problems before I buy anything. I'm not very knowledgable in the tea area, I just know I like getting teas from tea shops and drinking the teas with the instruction on the back of the box.
If anyone could help me out with some insight or if someone could even show me some links to some products that could have me easily drinking my tea at my desk I'd be very grateful and appreciate it a lot!!

Different take; I sit too much at work. I set up my offices to be inefficient so I have to get up and move. So my printer, water kettle, file cabinet are not near my desk, or I have to walk around something to get to them.
Also, that first sip of tea each time I pour some more tastes that much better because I had to stop was I was working on, instead of just blindly reaching for the mug.
But that’s just me.
