Designed for the Countertop

This layout is optimized for a phone screen placed beside your teapot. High-contrast step text and a large timer face remain readable from a short distance.

Each recipe loads a unique water temperature and steep duration. The progress ring depletes in real time so you can focus on preparation rather than checking a clock.

Flowers

3–5 minutes. Delicate petals release aroma quickly; avoid over-steeping.

Leaves

200–212°F

4–6 minutes. Mint and lemon verbena tolerate full boil.

Roots

212°F

7–10 minutes. Ginger and licorice root need extended contact.

Fruit

208°F

5–7 minutes. Hibiscus and berry pieces yield rich color.
