Taste it blind.
Labels change how tea tastes. Pick two to six teas, Steepdial hides them behind letters in a random order, and you score each cup before you know what it is.

How it works
- 01
Pick the teas
Two to six from your collection. Two harvests, two vendors, or three oolongs you can't choose between.
- 02
Choose how to brew
Best Brew blind brews each tea its own preferred way, to find the one you enjoy most. Standardized brews every cup the same way, which is fairest for two harvests or vendors of the same style.
- 03
Brew them side by side
Whoever brews opens the hidden key to see which tea is A, B, and C, with the recipe for each cup.
- 04
Score each cup
Give every cup a score out of 10 and a note.
- 05

The details
Random order
The letters are shuffled every time, so you can't guess from the order you picked them in.
Made for tasting together
One person brews using the key, everyone else tastes. Great with friends.
Kept for later
Past tastings stay in the list, so you can look back at how teas compared.
Questions
Can I do it on my own?
Yes. Have the key closed, pour each tea into a cup marked with its letter, shuffle the cups, and taste.
