Taste Jo

Features
Read full description

Taste Jo is a tasting journal for people who love pure tea. Tap one square to record how a cup tastes, and over time you'll see what you really like, find tea lovers with a similar palate, and discover new teas worth trying. ONE TAP, ONE CUP • Rate any cup on a 10 × 10 grid of sweetness and body. Some tea houses use their own flavor axes, so you taste the way the grower intended. • Add a few words of your own if you like. • Find a tea by browsing tea houses or scanning its barcode. Each harvest batch is listed separately, because spring and winter teas taste different. • Can't find a tea? Recommend it to us and earn points. BREW TIMER • Pick light, medium, or strong and the timer starts. It alerts you even when your phone is locked. • When time's up the timer keeps counting, so you can steep a little longer and tap "Pour" when it's ready. • Every steep is logged with how long it actually took. • Note how the steep turned out (too weak, just right, too strong) and what to change next time. The next time you brew that tea, the timer suggests a strength. MY TEA BOX • Record any tea, even ones not yet on Taste Jo. • Keep your tea box private, or share it so friends can see your recent tastings on your profile. KNOW YOUR PALATE • Your profile maps every tasting on a taste matrix and describes your style. • Taste tribes group people whose palates are alike. • Follow other tea lovers and see what they're drinking. HOLIM POINTS • Earn Holim Points when you rate teas listed on Taste Jo, with a bonus when your rating is close to what the community tastes. • Climb the Holim Board, and see which teas rank highest. VIP MEMBERSHIP (OPTIONAL) • Choose tea by tea which teas in your tea box to share • Back up and sync your tea box and brew logs across devices • Export your tastings as a CSV file • Exclusive badge and avatar frame VIP is an auto-renewing subscription, available monthly, quarterly, or yearly.
