MyTeaPal: Tea Timer & Journal

I genuinely love this app so much, it’s become such a must for someone like me who loves tea. Going into it I was honestly expecting a bit more of a straight to the point, instant gratification kind of app so I was confused and skeptical at first and it took me a good minute to really learn and get used to everything, but I made sure to give it a shot cause I could tell it had more than meets the eye, how there was so much thought and depth put into the making of this app. I was only just wanting a straight forward steep timer at first but I’ve found that the more I’ve learned about the app, the more I’ve come to realize I perfectly click with its interface and all the features I didn’t even know I needed. From listing all the tea specifications, logging your thoughts every time you drink, and even logging what you use to drink too (very helpful), it gets freedom of customization down to the T. The app really is just a love letter for tea lovers, it was made with so much care and consideration that it goes above and beyond what you could hope from a tea app, and above all it works really well. I’ve gone from being stubborn at first, not buying into the idea of tea apps all this time, to now having discovered a whole elaborate tea journal in the process and it’s made me so much more excited to indulge in my habitual tea drinking and explore all the different teas out there.

Vincent The app actually does help people connect. The daily tea posts with those that love tea share their experience. It is not intuitive how to use it. I would particularly like to say the ability to move a tasting journal to the daily tea community post with all of the tasting notes, source and photos would be a lot less work. There is not enough information transferred from my tea journal to the daily T community posts. I would like to have the ability to post most of it otherwise I have to start all over again to post a daily tea community. This should include the picture on my journal. I tried it today and it is just nothing helpful.

This app is perfect. I’ve struggled to find a good way to log my brews— I’ve tried a notebook, an excel sheet, just using Instagram, etc. Nothing categorized and organized things the way I wanted until now! It’s all in there, if you’re a big tea lover just download it already! You won’t regret it! Even my college tea club groupchat can’t stop raving about it. I know this app is very new, but one thing I’d love to see in the future would be a social aspect, being able to add friends and see what they’re brewing. 5/5, 10/10. Amazing.
