Using an egg timer to brew black teas has really made a difference over just

like a 5-minute "hourglass" that I can mark for 3.5, 4 and 4.5 minutes.
Anybody know where to find such an item? Google didn't turn up a US source,
but I might have set the search too narrowly.

they have different timers, all for decent pricing (considering that
hour or *minute* glasses/sand timers are considered *specialty* or
*novelty* items these days. This is a US source

BTW, I used the search keywords *sand timer* in Google and got lots of
appropriate hits.
