Looking for a great spot for tea? Trying to brew the perfect cuppa (or convince your co-worker it's their turn to brew)? iPhone apps are here to help. Check out these apps from Starbucks, Gormaya, In Pursuit of Tea and more, and work your way toward a better cup of tea.

Tea Time iPhone App
Tea Time is a tea timer app that allows you to select from different tea types and strengths, as well as whether you're brewing teabags or loose leaf tea. It retains the settings from your last cup, so you can brew the same tea again without resetting it.

It's a great tool for Starbucks devotees and people with food allergies.
