Tea Timer
About the Tea Timer
Over-steeped tea turns bitter and under-steeped tea tastes like warm water. This Tea Timer times green, black, oolong, and herbal steeps so every leaf finishes at its intended strength. Loose-leaf drinkers run three-minute black steeps, gongfu brewers count short repeated infusions, and offices time shared pots so nobody pours tannic sludge at the bottom of the hour. Steep green, black, oolong, and herbal teas for the minutes each leaf actually needs.
How to use it
- Open the Tea Timer page and pick a preset or enter the time from your recipe.
- Label the dish or batch in the task field so parallel cooks stay identifiable.
- Start the countdown at the recipe-defined moment, like the water boiling or the pan reaching temperature.
- Stay within earshot and let the timer run; open the oven or lid only when checks are due.
- When the alarm sounds, confirm doneness by sight, feel, or thermometer before serving.
Good to know
Start the timer at the moment the recipe means, usually when the water is boiling or the food goes in. Times change with pan size, altitude, and how cold the food was. Stay nearby for the last minute.
