tea-time-8-bit

Turn tea time into a tiny pixel-art ritual on your Garmin watch. Choose Sencha or Gyokuro, then follow clear steps for leaf weight, water volume, temperature, and steep time. A jade teapot, falling leaves, pouring water, and drifting steam bring each stage to life in original 8-bit-style artwork. BREW AT YOUR OWN PACE • Adjust leaf weight, water amount, temperature, and steep duration. • Scale a recipe to your vessel before adding leaves. • Start the timer as you begin pouring; repeated vibration alerts and a persistent “Pour out now” screen tell you when the infusion is ready. • Reuse the same leaves for another infusion, with an editable steep time. MADE FOR YOUR WRIST • Crisp Silkscreen typography and a clear countdown. • Buttons and touch controls on supported watches. • Water in milliliters or US fluid ounces; temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit. • Optional completion sound, Test alert, and a motion-off setting. • Local session recovery when you reopen the app. • On supported newer watches, scan a QR code to read the source brewing guide. No account, subscription, or phone connection is needed to brew. The brewing session runs on your watch. This is an interactive watch app. Keep tea-time-8-bit open while steeping. It does not provide an exact alarm after you close the app. Temperature is guidance for your kettle, not a measurement from the watch. Recipe defaults are starting points; follow your tea packet and adjust to taste. Leaf weight is shown in grams. Sound, touch, and QR features depend on the watch. The optional QR brewing guides link to Ippodo Tea’s public guides. Our editable defaults are app starting points. This app is independent and is not affiliated with Ippodo Tea.

A little more life in every brew. • Gentle, continuous animation throughout all seven brewing stages. • Drifting leaves, a swaying spoon, flowing water and ripples, a softly bobbing teapot lid, and a twinkling ready cup. • A returning leaf adds character to your next infusion. • Removed the long pauses between preparation animations. • Motion Off still keeps the artwork still.
