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!

The tea app I’ve been waiting for for years

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.

Hi there,

Thank you so much for the kind words! Glad to hear that you and your friends found MyTeaPal helpful on your tea journeys!

I'd like to add the social aspect soon, and it would be a fairly big project. If you have any additional feedback, please feel free to email feedback@myteapal.com.

Best,
Vincent

Good start

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.

Developer Response ,

Hi there, thanks for your feedback for our Daily Tea feature! You can post about any of your logs in the following 3 ways:

1. At "Me" tab, tap on "Posts", and then tap on the top right "+" icon
2. At "Community" tab, tap on the sticker icon on the bottom right
3. After creating a log, on the summary page, tap on the "Share with community" button

Then you can tap on the "Add a log" button to either select an existing log, create a new log, or enter a log's detail manually. You can add a picture and some descriptions. If you want your post to be public in "Daily Tea, then make sure to turn on the "Share in Daily Tea" toggle.

Let me know if you ever have more questions at feedback@myteapal.com.

Best,
Vincent from MyTeaPal

Great as is, would be better with rooibos, etc options

I’m loving this app, and finding it very useful for tracking my ever-growing tea stash.

One suggestion would be to add separate tea types for rooibos & honeybush, and possibly fruit/herbals, instead of lumping them under tisanes (though if R & H were separate, I’d be fine leaving fruit ones under tisanes). I cold-brew fruity herbals, but drink rooibos & honeybush hot, so would love to have them more separated.

Another suggestion might be adding an option for bagged vs loose leaf... I know a lot of folks see bagged tea as near sacrilegious, but some of us use both on occasion. ;)

Developer Response ,

Hi there, thank you so much for the feedback! I'm currently working on adding more tea styles and building a tea encyclopedia, and it will be available soon. The "bag" unit is currently enabled, and I'll think about how to help users filter bagged teas.

If you have any additional feedback, please feel free to email feedback@myteapal.com.

Best,
Vincent
