Best Apps for Tea Time

Best Apps for Tea Time
Shout out to all you tea lovers! There’s an app for everything these days, and tea is no exception. Naturally, we’ve been downloading and playing with some of the fantastic different apps out there, and we’ve agreed on a few favorites. Here are some of our top picks for Mac and Android users who enjoy a good cuppa.

For Mac Products


Tea by Samuel Iglesias
This all-in-one app is well worth the price tag. Not only can you keep a catalog of all your teas, but you can also save custom brew settings, track how much of a certain tea you have left, and use the in-app brew timer. If that wasn’t enough, there’s a glorious tea encyclopedia with regional, harvesting, processing, and brewing information for a long list of teas, plus tasting notes. We are, quite frankly, in awe.
Price: $1.99

If your coworkers or friends are always arguing over who made tea last time, Tea Round is a fun little app that will restore harmony by keeping track of whose turn it is to be brew master. You can save multiple rounds with different group members for all your social tea-drinking situations.

Tea Timer Pro by Michael Andrei Trimm
Sometimes all you need is a quick and dirty tea timer, which is what you get with this simple -- yet useful -- app. Simply slide over to the type of tea you’re brewing and you’ll get information on tea to water ratios, caffeine information, and water temperature. When you’re ready, start the timer at the bottom of the screen and wait for your tea to brew.
