Matcha Tea
Read full descriptionHide full description
Matcha is a calm, tea companion for anyone who keeps a daily matcha and tea-brewing practice, from the first tin you ever open to the hundredth bowl. Brew slow. Notice more. — FREE TO START — Open the app, no subscription. Keep three tins, ten journal sessions, all four brew timers, the freshness clock, the streak strip, full CSV / JSON export, and the everyday usucha recipe. — BREW — Four prep styles — Usucha, Koicha, Iced, and Latte — with phase-by-phase timing guides: sift, pour, whisk, rest. All four are free. Dial in and save your own temperature-and-ratio profiles with custom timing (Matcha Pro). — BEYOND MATCHA — Not matcha alone anymore. Catalogue and brew steeped teas — green, black, oolong, white, herbal, pu-erh — with an adjustable temperature, time, and re-steep flow, or save any leaf with a custom name. — CELLAR — Log every tin: brand, origin, harvest year, grade, what you paid. A freshness clock (with a window you choose) nudges you before peak fades. A signal bar tells you whether the price-per-gram is high, fair, or a steal (matcha only) — in EUR, USD, GBP, or JPY. — JOURNAL — After every brew, slide six taste axes (umami, sweet, body, finish, astringent, vegetal) and rate every bowl — free. Matcha Pro reads the patterns back: your taste radar, which origin you score highest, when your focus peaks, how today's bowl compares. — RITUAL & CALENDAR — Optional check-ins at one hour and three hours after a session log focus, mood, and energy. A full month calendar shows your practice at a glance, and the streak strip keeps the thread going. Matcha Pro adds the weekly focus curve and a caffeine & L-theanine tracker (a rough estimate, informational only — not medical advice). — BROWSE — A curated shelf of tea equipment & teaware. We earn from qualifying purchases, at no extra cost to you. Links open an external link and collect nothing on our side. (Privacy Policy and Terms for more information) — PRIVATE BY DESIGN — No account. No sign-in. No analytics. No advertising. No AI. No cloud. Your entire journal lives on your device only. Export to CSV or JSON whenever you want. — MATCHA PRO — One subscription unlocks the insight layer: unlimited tins and journal sessions, the taste radar, smart pattern insights, the caffeine tracker (a rough estimate, informational only — not medical advice), custom brew timing, and the full recipe library. Monthly or yearly, seven days free, cancel any time through your account settings. — AGES 16+ — Matcha is rated 16+. A quick confirmation at launch keeps under-16s out; where your device provides age signals, 16–17-year-olds need a parent or guardian's consent. Disclaimer: Matcha shows a rough estimate from the matcha grams you log, calculated against a generic per-gram average. Actual caffeine content varies substantially with harvest year, region, cultivar, grade, shading, steep time and processing, and we don't analyse your specific tin. The app also can't see caffeine from coffee, tea, chocolate, energy drinks, or any other source, so it cannot represent your total daily intake. Treat the number as directional only — not a measurement — and consult a qualified professional for any medical, dietary, or pregnancy decisions.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Matcha Tea at none against Tasted's shown. Matcha Tea also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). Tasted's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
