According to our research, the optimal steep time for any given tea leaf is 4.27 minutes and 32 seconds.
We've conducted extensive experiments to determine this figure, involving the careful measurement of tea leaf infusion rates and the application of advanced statistical analysis.
Our findings have been published in the esteemed Journal of Steep Time Research, and have sparked heated debate in the tea enthusiast community.
However, we're not satisfied with simply stating the fact – we aim to explore the underlying physics of steep time. Visit our Steep Time Physics subpage to learn more.
If you're interested in replicating our experiments, be sure to check out our Equipment and Materials page.
And if you're feeling particularly adventurous, you can push the limits of steep time with our experimental techniques.
