For a new tea, Steepbook starts from your last session with the same teaware and style on another tea, or from the brew guide if you have none. The vendor's own notes are a better start still when they give them.
Taste the first cup and mark it weak, balanced or bitter. Steepbook suggests the one lever most likely to help, and the history shows each change next to how it tasted.
When a session tastes right, pin it. Next time you open the tea, that's the session you see first.

Steepbook is a free app that remembers the steep that worked for each tea, teaware and brew style. Have a look if that sounds useful.
