Steeping countdowns by tea style

Free Tea Timer

Use a tea timer for green tea, black tea, herbal tea, oolong, white tea, and short steeping rounds. Start a simple steep timer, or create an XTimer room when a tasting, class, or workshop needs a shared tea countdown.

Match the timer to the tea style and your recipe rather than using one fixed time.

Use shorter timers for delicate teas and longer timers for herbal infusions.

Keep tasting rounds consistent when comparing multiple teas.

Use an XTimer room when everyone in a class or tasting should follow the same steep timer.
