It takes off approximately 10 degrees if you start with a cold mug or pot, which is great for darjeelings and oolongs, and I actually add some cold water for greens to get them down to about the 170 degree range.
If I'm brewing black tea do boil a smaller amount to warm the mug and since it only takes 2 minutes to boil a full cup and it takes about that time to warm it up, it works out nicely.
