Tea journal with tasting logs, brewing chart and flavor wheel

Tea journal pages for anyone who wants to recall each tea they brew, the way they made it and whether it deserves a second purchase. This undated set has 50 pages, including 22 full tasting logs, a brewing chart sorted by tea type, an original flavor wheel, multi-steep session sheets, a collection inventory, a wishlist, shop notes, blend recipes and pairing pages. You get it as a US Letter and A4 PDF, ready as an instant download.

Pour a cup, take a few slow notes, and over time you build a calm record of your whole tea shelf.

How this tea journal makes every cup easier to remember

A great tea is easy to forget once the tin is empty. Every tasting log gathers the name, type and origin of the tea, the water temperature, steep time, leaf amount and pot you used, then your impressions of dry leaf, liquor color, wet leaf, aroma, flavor and finish. Scales for body, astringency, sweetness and bitterness sit beside a five star rating and a simple yes or no on buying it again.

The brewing chart suggests a starting temperature, leaf amount, steep time and number of re-steeps for ten tea styles, while the flavor wheel gives you words for what you taste. Add the collection, wishlist and shop pages and you always know what to brew next and what needs restocking.
