About

Tea Master

Features
Read full description

Every tea has a perfect brew. Tea Master helps you find it — and repeat it. Add a tea in seconds with a friendly card-by-card setup: what it's called, what kind it is, loose leaf or bag, and what you're brewing in. Tea Master suggests the right temperature and timing for your vessel, from a 120 ml gaiwan to a big teapot. THE TIMER THAT LEARNS YOUR TASTE After each guided brew, tell Tea Master how it tasted — too pale, good, or too strong — and it fine-tunes your schedule automatically. A few brews later, your tea is calibrated to exactly how you like it. Loose leaf? It tracks every infusion: brew 3 of 6 is always right where you left it, even if you close the app. NEVER MISS THE MOMENT A calm, focused timer with a sweeping ring. Your countdown lives in the Dynamic Island while you do other things, and a time-sensitive alert reaches you on the Lock Screen — even through Focus — the moment your tea is ready. Tap Done right from the notification and the brew is logged without opening the app. YOUR SHELF, YOUR TEAS Photos of your teas, colour-coded types, and per-tea temperature, volume, and vessel. Star the ones you drink most and they rise to the top; arrange the rest in any order; search by name or type once your shelf grows. Swipe any tea to favourite it, reset its infusion count, or remove it. Everything syncs privately through your iCloud. ONE TAP FROM ANYWHERE Put your go-to teas on your Home Screen with a widget, then tap Brew. Or search "Tea Master" in Spotlight to brew your favourite, jump back to a running timer, or add a new tea. MILK, CREAM, SUGAR — IF THAT'S YOU Any tea can remember how you take it. Flip one switch and set your splashes and spoons; the brewing screen reminds you when it's time to pour. A LITTLE TEA WISDOM WHILE YOU WAIT Tea facts while you steep, and a new Tea of the Week every week — its origin, flavour, story, and a one-tap way to add it to your shelf. YOUR BREWS, REMEMBERED Every brew is logged automatically in your Brew Journal — what you drank, when, and how it turned out. Open any tea to see how its steep times changed as it learned your taste. Your first 3 teas are free, forever — with three beautiful alarm sounds included. Tea Master Plus unlocks an unlimited shelf and five more hand-crafted alarm sounds, with quarterly, yearly, and lifetime options shown in your local App Store currency. Eligible new subscribers can try Plus free for 7 days; after the trial, the selected subscription renews automatically at the displayed price unless cancelled. No accounts. No ads. No tracking.
