Herbal Tea Journal

Keep private tasting notes, ratings and brew settings for every tea — stored right in your browser.

The best way to improve your brewing is to remember what worked. A tasting journal turns happy accidents into repeatable favourites and helps you notice patterns across the teas you love.

Everything you write stays private in your browser — no account, no server, no sharing.

How to use it

How to use the Herbal Tea Journal

Add a new entry for each tea you try. Record the herb, brew settings, tasting notes and a personal rating. Over time, your journal becomes a searchable reference of everything you've explored.

  1. Tap "New Entry" and select the herb or enter a custom name.
  2. Log your brew settings: grams, water temperature, steep time.
  3. Write your tasting notes — aroma, colour, flavour, finish.
  4. Give it a personal rating and optionally tag it with a mood or moment.
  5. Browse and search past entries to refine future brews.

If you're not yet sure what vocabulary to use for tasting notes, our Understanding Tea Flavor Profiles guide gives you a ready-made tasting lexicon. For a broader approach to building a tea habit, see our Complete Herbal Brewing Course.

The tasting note field supports free text of any length, so you can write a single word or a full paragraph depending on how much you want to capture. Over time, searching across your notes by herb name or tag surfaces patterns — herbs you consistently enjoy at certain strengths, or times of day when particular teas work best for you.
