Hello everyone,
I am completely new to the world of tea. I first came into contact with it at the beginning of this year when I began to explore green tea in more depth during my trip to Japan.
Of course, I couldn't resist bringing a few varieties of green tea home with me. When I stood in the kitchen to prepare my first cup of tea, I thought to myself: there must be an app that can tell me the right temperature and brewing time for my new teas. Unfortunately, I only found a few very old apps, most of which were extremely unclear and often impractical.
And then I had an idea: I've been interested in programming and app development for a long time. As luck would have it, I wasn't very busy at the time. So I saw it as a challenge: I wanted to program a good tea timer app. What started as a simple pastime quickly turned into a very intensive hobby.
During development, I realized that I lacked in-depth knowledge about teas. So I went to the local tea merchants here in Lucerne. I showed them a beta version, which was met with great interest. During our conversations, the strengths and weaknesses of the beta version immediately became apparent, and I received valuable feedback for the now completed version.
Along with the feedback, I also brought home my first high-quality oolong and pu-erh teas.
I enjoy my morning teas and am excited to see where my journey will take me next.
I am also looking forward to further feedback on my new app. It is now available in the iOS App Store under the name “Steep Timer”. I am happy to provide promo codes.
Just get in touch with me.
Best regards from Lucerne
Martin
