Watching the time you steep your tea is UBER important!!! You can over steep you tea and completely ruin the taste.
I have 3 fun timers. One for work, one for home, and just one for fun. I have the tea pot for work. I have the Teavana timer for home, and the sand dial for fun.
The sand dial is fun- I got it on Amazon, used for under $10.00. It is fun because the green has 3 minutes of sand in it, the white has 4 minutes of sand, and the brown has 5 minutes of sand in it! How cool is that?!
