Being colorblind, I was worried about confusing the timers, but the different sand shades are actually distinct enough. The white tea timer runs about two minutes, which is perfect for my morning cup. It makes my tea routine feel almost ceremonial now.

I finally have a decent excuse to buy a nice loose-leaf white tea—the shortest timer is perfect for it. The three separate timers make it impossible to oversteep, even when I’m distracted by email.

The color coding is brilliant—I can glance at the stand and know exactly which timer is which, even half-asleep. White tea comes out perfectly delicate every time now, and the sand runs smoothly without getting stuck.
