About this design

Six kinds of tea (green, white, oolong, black, rooibos and herbal) each get their own ring. The coloured arc shows the recommended steeping time in minutes and is coloured like the brewed tea, from pale green to deep amber and red. Below the clock, a water-temperature scale shows the right temperature for each tea in °C and °F. Two colourways are included: Cream for light kitchens and Ink (dark navy) for a bolder look. A lovely gift for every tea lover.

It also tells you how much tea to use: about 2 to 3 g (1 tsp) of loose tea per cup. The values are a general guide; always check the advice on your own tea.
