The steeps
10 steeps, in seconds: 10 · 15 · 20 · 25 · 30 · 35 · 40 · 45 · 50 · 55. Pour out every drop between them, and stop when the leaf tastes of little.
Log it as you brew. Steepbook opens a session with these numbers, scales the leaf to your teaware, times every steep and remembers how it tasted.
