Is there an Untappd for tea? Yes, and it runs in your browser

By Philipp · Published June 10, 2026

If you drink beer you already know Untappd. Check in a beer, rate it, jot a tasting note, watch your stats stack up, see what everyone else is drinking. For years tea people have wanted the same thing and said so out loud.

The reply underneath was "This is exactly what we need!!!" So someone built it. It is called Tealytics, and it does the tea version of every part of Untappd that you actually care about.

What people mean by an Untappd for tea

Read enough tea threads and the wishlist is always the same few things.

Check in the tea you are drinking right now. Rate it, so future-you knows if it was any good. Log a real tasting note, ideally (in the words of one tea drinker) "immediately after trying a new tea in a tea shop or wherever we are." And then watch the numbers add up over time, with a community doing the same thing so it is not just you talking to a spreadsheet.

That is the whole ask. Untappd nailed it for beer and tea got left with timer apps.

What Untappd does that tea drinkers keep asking for

To be fair to Untappd, here is what it gives beer drinkers, because the analogy only works if it is accurate.

• A check-in: this drink, right now.
• A rating and a tasting note attached to that check-in.
• Badges and achievements for trying new things.
• Personal stats and a running history of everything you have had.
• A social feed, so you can see what other people are drinking and thinking.

Five things. Tea drinkers wanted all five. Most tea apps shipped one (the timer) and called it a day.

How Tealytics does it

Tealytics is a tea notebook that does the math. It covers all five.

Check in and rate. Log a session the second you sit down with a cup, and give it a rating you will trust later. Same muscle memory as tapping a beer into Untappd, just for your gongfu oolong or the bag you grabbed at work.

Real tasting notes, not a blank box. Twelve flavor attributes per tea instead of "type something here", and a flavor radar that draws the shape of each tea so you can compare two of them at a glance. Log per session and per infusion, because steep three of a sheng is not steep one and you know it.

Badges, stamps and streaks. The Leaf Ledger is a passport-style stamp grid of every tea type you have tried. Achievements and streaks for the people who like watching the count go up. The fun-collection part of Untappd, ported straight over.

Stats that mean something. Basic stats free, deeper analytics if you upgrade, monthly recap images you can share. After about five rated sessions of a tea, Tealytics reads your own data back to you and tells you the temperature, steep and ratio you rated highest. Untappd never did your brewing homework. This one does.

A community and discover layer. The social half lives here: see what other people are drinking, find your next tea, get the "mobile Steepster" those threads kept wishing for.

It does not make you cosplay a tea ceremony to use it. Loose leaf, bags, whatever is in the cup. Buying tea and drinking tea are the good parts. The fiddly middle bit is what the app is for.

No app store, no download

The analogy breaks in exactly one place, and it breaks in your favor. Untappd makes you install an app. Tealytics runs in the browser and installs as an app from there if you want it on your home screen, so there is nothing to download and nothing to wait on. A native mobile app is on the way. You do not need it to start today.

The free tier is the whole core journal, not a trial: collection tracking, per-session and per-infusion logging, the twelve-attribute notes, seven brew styles with a steep timer, the Leaf Ledger, achievements, stats and the discover layer. Free is the front door.

Frequently asked questions

Is there an Untappd for tea?

Yes. Tealytics is the closest thing: check in a tea, rate it, write a tasting note, collect badges and watch your stats grow, with a community and discover layer. It is the app tea forums have been asking someone to build for years.

What is the best app to log teas?

If you want the Untappd experience (log, rate, tasting notes, stats, social) plus actual brewing intelligence from your own data, Tealytics. It logs per session and per infusion, scores twelve flavor attributes per tea, and tells you your best brew after a handful of rated sessions. The full roundup compares the other options.

Is it free?

Yes. The free tier is the full core journal, not a teaser. A paid tier adds AI scanning, import, advanced analytics and export. You can do everything an Untappd check-in does without paying anything.

Do I have to download an app?

No. Tealytics runs in your browser and installs as an app from there if you want an icon on your phone. A native app is on the way, but you can start now with no app store.

Is it like Steepster?

Same spirit (a tea community you can log and discover in) but built mobile-first as a working journal, which is the "mobile Steepster" people in those threads said they wanted. Here is how the two compare.
