Free app. No credit card. 173+ teas included.
Temperature makes the cup.
Most bitter tea is over-brewed, over-temperatured, or both. A delicate Japanese green at boiling water doesn't give you a bad tea — it gives you a ruined one. SteepLog gives you the right parameters for every tea before you start the kettle, not after the first awful sip.
173+ teas catalogued
Green, white, oolong, black, pu-erh, and herbal — 173+ teas with brew temperature, steep time, leaf-to-water ratio, number of steeps, and tasting notes. Single-estate teas, regional varieties, and widely available brands all included.
Brew parameters for every tea
Temperature matters more than most people realize. Delicate greens need 160–175°F — boiling water burns them. Robust blacks want 200–212°F. SteepLog gives you the right temp, time, and ratio for every tea in the database — no guessing, no bitter cups.
Session log built for tea drinkers
Log every session with the tea, brew parameters you used, number of steeps, vessel, and your tasting notes. Rate it 1–5. Track what time of day you drank it. Build a personal record that shows your evolving palate over months and years.
Collection and restock tracker
Log teas in your collection with quantity and purchase date. Mark teas as finished. See what you have on hand and what you're running low on. Get a clear view of your collection without pulling every tin and bag from the shelf.
How SteepLog works
Find the tea. Brew it right. Log the session.
Find the tea
Search by name, type, or origin. Get brew temperature, steep time, leaf ratio, and expected number of steeps before you start heating water. The right parameters before you brew, not after.
Log the session
After steeping, record the brew parameters you used, how many steeps you pulled, and your tasting notes. Rate it. Note what you'd adjust. 30 seconds of logging tells you more than memory will.
Build your collection
Every session adds to your tea history. Your highest-rated teas, most-revisited types, and preferred origins emerge from your own data — not someone else's recommendations.

What's in the tea database?
173+ teas spanning all major categories — green, white, oolong, black, pu-erh, and herbal. Each entry includes brew temperature, steep time, leaf-to-water ratio, number of steeps, origin, and tasting notes.
Does SteepLog support gongfu brewing?
Yes. Entries that are commonly brewed gongfu-style include short steep times and expected number of steeps for the gongfu method alongside western brew parameters.
Can I add teas not in the database?
Yes. Custom entries let you add any tea with your own brew parameters and notes. Good for small-production teas, samples from tea shops, or blends you've created.
Does SteepLog work offline?
Yes. The full tea library is built into the app and works without an internet connection. Session logs are stored on your device.
Can I track how many times I've steeped a specific session?
Yes. Each session log includes a steeps field — you can record how many steeps you pulled from a single measure of leaves, which helps you evaluate value and flavor across the gongfu resteeping process.
