Tea Time
This mobile app concept was created over a weekend as a UI exercise. This app uses the science behind temperature and steep times to enhance different aspects of tea.

The tea in this example, and the recipe created, is based off of Japanese Sencha (a steamed green tea).
The accent color in the UI is based off of what characteristic was chosen at the beginning—for a relaxing brew, the dusty blue color gets carried through each step of the recipe.
Brewing tea at different temperatures will extract compounds in tea at different rates and strengths. The idea behind this app is to do the math for you as to what temperature to use, and how long to brew your tea, depending on what property of tea you’re most interested in experiencing that day.
It’s Tea Time!
Each step describes how to prepare your tea, from heating the water to pouring. In a future iteration, I think it would be helpful to create illustrations to visually help explain each step.
