Three minutes is the standard length of a boxing round and a good steep for most black teas. Start the timer when the water hits the leaves or the bell rings, and the large countdown keeps you on track without checking your phone clock. A bell sounds at zero so you can pull the tea bag or step back to your corner.
Ways to use this timer
- Steeping black tea for three to four minutes
- Shadowboxing or bag work in three-minute rounds
