Living in the world's most welcoming countries

A British friend of mine lives in Colorado. He loves everything about the place, except for one thing: he can't get a decent cup of tea there for love nor money. (Because water boils at too low a temperature.)

I just drink green or white tea mostly, which you steep at a lower temperature anyway.

But yeah, water boils at 201F where I live, so I know this pain.

Now I'm wondering about pressure-cooking tea...

I think the problem you'd have is that good tea is a function of both time and temperature - you'd end up ruining the tea because of the time it takes to get the vessel to pressure.

Unless you had some way of keeping the tea isolated until the vessel got to pressure...
