I thought I turned the kettle on and came back but it wasn’t hot water and I tried to steep my tea and it barely steeped at all. But when the water is boiling hot, it steeps instantly. Why is that?

It takes energy for tea to steep (or anything to happen really). Heat is just a measure of energy. The warmer the water is the more energy is in that system, so the faster things happen in the water.
