SAND TIMER

In order to brew a perfect cup of tea which is neither too light, nor too strong, the timing of the brew plays a crucial role. Tea, especially premium whole-leaf tea, is sensitive to time. Brew it too short, and the leaves won’t fully open. Brew it too long, and the delicate notes may turn bitter. 

At Kaahu, we believe that most teas are perfectly brewed in 3 minutes. Hence, we recommend this 3-minute sand timer as an essential part of your tea ritual, because every second matters when it comes to flavour. Our 3-minute timer helps you steep your tea just right - for a balanced, smooth, and aromatic cup, every single time. Of course, you can always brew your tea a little shorter or longer depending on how exactly you like it.

A sand timer is a simple, timeless tool that measures time through the gentle fall of sand from one chamber to another. As the fine sand falls in silence, it marks not just minutes, but a mindful pause before your first sip. No alarms. No distractions. Just the quiet flow of time as your tea gently infuses.

Whether you're steeping a Darjeeling First flush or a rare white tea, this timer reminds you that perfection takes exactly as long as it should - never rushed, always measured.

Because our tea leaves are premium quality, the same leaves can be steeped up to three times. For each subsequent brew, we recommend adding an extra minute. Steep the second infusion for 4 minutes, and the third for 5 minutes. With each steep, the leaves unfold a new layer of flavour—gentle, nuanced, and beautifully evolving.

Special Offer: Since we want your tea to be an experience, we are giving a complimentary 3-minute sand timer with your first order.
