Oolongnotebook: a tea brewer’s quiet reference desk
An offline tea-brewing reference with steeping tables, a temperature-aware timer, tasting vocabulary, and short guides.
- For
- Whole-leaf tea brewers comparing methods
- Worth noticing
- Tables distinguish 240 ml Western cups from 100 ml gongfu vessels and include re-steep counts.
Field notes
The reference separates Western cup brewing from gongfu brewing and gives each tea category its own temperature, leaf quantity, steep time, and expected re-steeps. Its timer carries those distinctions into a working sequence, including later-steep adjustments and a browser-generated chime that only plays after Start is pressed. A vocabulary section defines 19 sensory terms, while the guides address water, method, and faults. The page states that no data is saved between visits.
