Bredemeijer Teatimer

Would you prefer a bitter tea or a mild one? A tea with anti-inflammatory properties or one with a lot of caffeine? No matter how you like it: with our tea timer, you will always brew the perfect tea. Choose a steeping time and flip the hourglass! With these hourglasses, we literally turn back time and stop the clock without needing our smartphone, which is already with us all day long. And the hourglasses look quite stylish too, don’t they?

Product Information:

Here are a few suggestions from us regarding steeping times depending on the type:

• Black tea: 2 to 3 minutes is considered the optimal steeping time for black tea. The longer you steep it, the more bitter the taste.
• Green tea: 2 minutes is the perfect steeping time – during which more caffeine is released. The longer you let the bag steep, the more bitter the taste. However, this tea is also said to have anti-inflammatory properties.
• White tea: Should be steeped for about 5 minutes.

These are just guidelines. Ultimately, it always depends on the exact type of tea – and of course, it’s a matter of personal taste.
