Free Online Tea Steeping Timer

Steep green tea (2 min), black tea (3-4 min), or herbal infusions (5 min) to perfection.

This is a tea steeping timer that opens ready to use. It's preset to 3 minutes (03:00), and you can change the time with Edit if you need something different.

The ring around the clock gets shorter as time runs down, and the time left also shows in your browser tab. When it reaches zero, a chime plays, so check that your volume is up.
