Best Overall Tea app!
This app does have issues, but I am more than happy to deal with them given what is offered with it:
🍵 Encyclopedia- very detailed with maps, season charts, photos, and guidelines
🍵 Tea timer- highly programmable with your chosen specifics; amount of tea, volume of water, steep time, temperature (C or F), and you can track your steeping pot or vessel to the point of a photographic representation of it.
🍵 Pantry function- for tracking your teas- very cool!
🍵 History tab- for all your past tea experiences
Track your tea type, time, temperature, amount, water, pot, and everything is searchable! I’m also impressed with the clear understanding of Chinese teas and style of tea making that is still lacking with the other apps in the the store.
It can be a little temperamental to use, but I have found those problems vanish now that I have been using it for a while (ex: I don’t use the camera icon in the app to try and take a photo because it will crash the app. I use my iPhone’s camera, then use the “Photo Library” selection to fetch the photo. Not a big deal).
This is a great app for learning and growing one’s knowledge with tea making! If you are a casual tea drinker, you may not care, but for those exploring the realm of tea, this app is great!

Nice app, could be better
The encyclopedia part of the app is what interested me, especially as it had a connected map feature which helps one visualize the geography and region of where the teas come from. I wish however the encyclopedia had some filters to search than a giant scroll down list. It could probably easily be added to help limit the searching to what someone may be looking for out of that list. Also the app could add other information like the terrior of the original growing region, and the main cultivars the plant originally came from. But overall this an amazing app for tea! Thank you to the creators

Random Tea Picker
Nice place to have all your teas recorded in one app. Wish there was a randomized tea picker.
Where did the add a tea + sign go?
I added one tea and then the plus sign was gone???? How do I add more teas??
New to tea
I have recently gotten into learning about tea and I love the encyclopedia function and the ability to have and inventory of teas. I wish that the amount of tea in the inventory went down to 1 gram instead of starting at 10 since I have many sampler packs from teavivre. I still have to play with it some more but also wish that the brewing suggestions had specific gongfu instructions along with the western infusion method. Sometimes they are there but you really have to read into it. Also if you have F and C temperatures it would be nice to have ounces along with CC of water. Good app but think more could be done to justify 1.99 price.
