Per 100 ml counts every steep, so a gongfu session and a mug compare fairly. Your best value weighs what you paid against how you scored it.
How it works
- 01
Add a price
When you add or edit a tea, enter what you paid and for how many grams.
- 02
See what each tea costs
Per session uses the leaf in your usual recipe. Per 100 ml adds up every steep's water, so a gaiwan and a mug compare fairly. Per steep is there too, for the curious.
- 03
Track the month
A chart shows the value of the tea you drank each month, next to what you bought.
- 04
Plan the next order
Teas you drink that are running low show up with one tap to add them to your wishlist.
The details
Your best value
The tea you score highly for what each session costs, from teas you've rated at least twice, so one lucky cup doesn't win.
The gongfu surprise
A pricey oolong can cost less per 100 ml than you'd think, because the same leaf brews six or eight times. Now you can see it.
Any currency
Set the symbol you use: $, €, £, ¥, or anything else.
Wishlist
Teas you want to try or buy again, with where to get them and a note. Tick them off when you buy.
Questions
Do I have to price every tea?
No. Unpriced teas are simply left out, and listed so you can add a price when you're ready.
