TeaSomm

Elevate your tea tasting practice, catalog rare varieties, and map the complex terroirs of your favorite loose-leaf collections. TeaSomm is a professional sensory journal and inventory tool engineered for tea connoisseurs, sommeliers, and collectors to track structural tasting sessions and calibrate precise brewing mechanics.

Core Features & Mechanics:
Standardized Tasting Sheets: Document sensory flights using precise analytical metrics. Evaluate core flavor and texture dimensions using dedicated sliders for Sweetness, Astringency, Acidity, Body, Smoothness, Clarity, and Aftertaste. Assign overall quality ratings on a clear 1–5 star scale and append deep personal evaluation notes.

Liquor & Aroma Classification: Track optical and aromatic signatures for every steep. Choose from multiple liquor color profiles (Pale Gold, Gold, Amber, Copper) and density levels (Pale, Light, Medium, Deep, Dark). Tag prominent aroma categories instantly using specialized chips including Floral, Fruity, Herbal, Spicy, and Woody.

Precise Brewing Calibration: Refine your extraction techniques across multiple steeps. Record vital preparation parameters for every session: exact temperature, steeping time duration, leaf-to-water concentration ratios (g/100ml), specific Infusion #, and Total infusions. Select your exact brewing hardware from a dedicated dropdown menu featuring Gaiwan, Yixing teapot, Glass teapot, Porcelain teapot, Kyusu, Cup, or custom vessels.

Botanical Inventory Registry: Build an organized catalog of your loose-leaf collection. Log tea varieties by name, category type (Green, Black, Oolong, White, etc.), and precise leaf morphology (Loose leaf, Compressed, Rolled, Twisted, Needle, Ball, Powder).

Terroir & Origin Tracking: Capture environmental factors for every harvest. Document the Country, Region, Sub-region or plantation, Altitude, and specific Harvest season. View your global footprint on the interactive Origin Map (Tea Atlas) to track subtle environmental variances between adjacent plantations.

Side-by-Side Comparison Terminal: Evaluate your logs critically using the integrated Compare workspace. Align multiple profiles side-by-side to evaluate how distinct processing styles or aging durations alter the underlying flavor profile.

Custom Preferences & Workspace Settings:
Flexible App Units: Tailor the sensory dashboard to align with your regional testing habits. Switch measurement preferences instantly inside the configuration panel:

Temperature: Toggle smoothly between °C and °F.

Time Format: Track steeps in pure Seconds or traditional Min:Sec layouts.

Weight Unit: Input leaf quantities in Grams or Ounces.

Local Privacy Safeguards: Maintain full ownership over your proprietary tasting formulas and private collection entries. This application processes and stores all inventory datasets strictly on your local device.
