Two things decide it, and none of them is on the clock. Answer them and the time below is yours.
Green and white want water off the boil — around 80°C. Boiling water scorches them bitter.

Green tea turns bitter about thirty seconds past the timer, and no amount of sugar undoes it. Use water around 80°C, not boiling.
