Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An offline tea-brewing reference with steeping tables, a temperature-aware timer, tasting vocabulary, and short guides.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-20 issue.
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.
