Sound familiar?
You guessed 90° when it wanted 70°. Ninety seconds later it's compost water — and green tea gets blamed again.
A $15 sachet of rock oolong, drowned in one five-minute steep. It was grown for eight short infusions. It got a single long funeral.
You answered one message while the kettle clicked off, and now you're sniffing the cup like a detective. Every. Single. Time.
A friend brought it back from Taipei. No label you can read, no clue how to brew it — so it has sat in the cupboard for months.
The Timer
Presets for all 176 teas, multi-infusion counting, and an alarm that rings with your phone locked and in your pocket. On iPhone, a Live Activity keeps the countdown on your lock screen while you get on with the toast.

The Camera Tea ID
Snap the leaves or the packaging and Teafinity tells you what you're holding — origin, flavor profile, and the exact brew plan for that leaf. The mystery tin stops being a mystery before the kettle boils.

The 176-Tea Library
Western schedules with a Gong Fu ladder where the leaf takes one, °C and °F side by side, caffeine in real milligrams, food pairings — sourced, curated, and written by tea people, in your language. Plus 80 seasonal teas that rotate through the year.

The Brew Journal
Every session logs itself — the tea, the date, and how long it actually brewed. Six months from now you won't have to reconstruct what you drank from memory. Teafinity remembers.

It's an absolute must-have for all tea and herbal tea enthusiasts.
The app's UI is very intuitive… I've requested for a tea to be added, and it was available very shortly, which is a giant plus to the developer
perfect tea companion — I really love this informative and well thought out app.
i love on how the UI is same vibe with the tea simple and neat
Great app for my tea obsession

Yes — the free tier is a complete product, not a demo: 30 curated teas with full brewing data, the Western brewing timer, favorites and your collection, daily tea insights, and personalized recommendations. Premium adds the full 176-tea + 80 seasonal library, unlimited AI tea identification, and Gong Fu multi-infusion timers.
Western brews one big cup: more water, less leaf, one or two long steeps. Gong Fu uses a small pot, more leaf, and many short infusions that evolve from steep to steep. Teafinity carries both schedules wherever a tea takes both, and times each infusion separately, rinse included when the ladder opens with one.
It's genuinely good — and honest about its limits. It works best on dry leaves and packaging, shows you its confidence with every match, and lets you correct it. A photo of brewed tea in a mug is a much harder ask, and it will say so rather than bluff.
Fair question, and we'd rather answer it than hide it. Early Android builds gated too much behind the paywall, and reviewers rightly called it out. The free tier now includes 30 full teas and the brewing timer, and the pricing section above states exactly where the paywall line sits.
In two taps — and Apple or Google handles it, so we couldn't make it hard if we wanted to. iPhone: Settings → your name → Subscriptions. Android: Play Store → profile → Payments & subscriptions. Everything in the free tier stays yours either way.
