A shelf for the teas you're aging.
Pu-erh, Liu Bao, Fu brick, and some white teas and oolongs can develop beautifully with appropriate storage. Log how each one is stored, taste it now and then, and Steepdial keeps the record and tells you when it's time to revisit.
Tea NerdAging Shelf is part of Tea Nerd, $7 a year or $20 for life. Unlocked for everyone during early access.Compare plans
How it works
- 01
Add a tea to the shelf
Mark it as a cake or loose leaf and enter the year it was pressed or harvested.
- 02
Note how it's stored
Container, where it lives, sealed or breathable, and the temperature and humidity ranges if you measure them.
- 03
Taste it now and then
Log a tasting with a score and what's changed, and set the next tasting date. When it comes around, the tea is marked Time to revisit.
The details
At a glance
Age in years, grams left, what the remaining leaf cost you, how it's stored, and your last tasting for every tea.
See it change
Every tasting stays with the tea, so you can read back how a young sheng softened over the years.
No magic number
There's no single right humidity. Stable, clean-smelling conditions away from light and odors matter most, and your tastings tell you how it's going.
Works with Stash
Grams count down as you brew, just like the rest of your teas.
Questions
Is it only for pu-erh?
No. Any tea you're keeping on purpose can go on the shelf, including Liu Bao, Fu brick, white tea cakes, and roasted oolongs.
Is this part of the free plan?
