Tea tasting cards in 3x5 and 4x6, one small card for every tea

These tea tasting cards give each tea its own little card, sized exactly 3 x 5 in and 4 x 6 in, so your notes live in a box beside the kettle rather than in a big journal. The 27 undated pages hold eight card designs in both sizes, lined and dot backs, and six tab dividers for green, black, oolong, white, herbal and pu-erh, ready to print on US Letter or A4 paper. It is an instant PDF download, and nothing is posted.

Print only the cards you need and add more as your shelf grows.

How tea tasting cards make every cup easier to remember

Fill in a card while the cup is still warm: the type, origin and season, the heat, time, leaf and water, then aroma, taste and finish, a score from 1 to 5 and a mini wheel where you shade eight flavor families from one to three rings.

The flight card puts three cups next to each other, and the session card follows a single tea for up to eight steeps, with time, color and notes, until you find its sweet spot. Once a tea is just right, copy its numbers onto your own blank brewing card, add every tin to the inventory card with its running low box, and record your own mixes in parts on the blend card. Wishlist and favorites cards complete the set, and the dividers turn a simple box into a neat tea library.

• Friends hosting a tea tasting at home who want to line up three cups side by side
