WHY I BUILT MYTEAPAL:
As a tea enthusiast for more than four years, I always wished there were a way to record my tea journey, including all the teas I tasted, teawares I collected, brewing methods I used, and feelings I sensed.

I then found that tea journaling was the best way to do this, but after trying a few paperback tea journals and other tea apps, I was disappointed. None of them felt right to me.

I wanted to create an all-in-one tea app that made it easy for tea drinkers to catalogue their teas and teawares, find their favorite ways of brewing, record their thoughts, and share with their tea friends.

So I created MyTeaPal. I hope through this app, we can all become more mindful about what teas we have tasted, how we brewed them, and how they made us feel. Wishing you the best with your tea journey!

Ratings and reviews

This app deserves more than 5 stars, truly an A+ This is for sure the most well developed app for both newcomers to tea and aficionados. It has everything you could want, and surprisingly more. Ive been in the tea industry for over ten years and this app provides so many options for cataloging, palate training, inventory maintenance, and even the basic timing features are solid and charming. Again, excellent job all around. Thank you!

Incredible app that allows users to track their tea drinking habits and experiences. I really appreciate the ease of use and simplicity of the app, allowing the user to focus on the experience of drinking tea without major distractions from the phone (even though you’re using it to track!). The pre-input tasting flavors are awesome since it can help jog a memory but the ability to add in your own content makes the app perfectly customizable!

Easy to use, beautiful, and versatile with several unexpected features (the randomizer is a fun one). I use it mainly to keep track of new teas I've bought and ones I'd like to get again, but you can also create a journal of brews and tasting notes. While there are a lot of logging options, they don't overwhelm and the user interface is comfortable for those who just want the basics. The developer pays close attention to detail and is very open to community feedback.
