The leaf makes room for the plant.
Five herbal infusions join the catalog: lavender from Valensole, linden from the Baronnies, peppermint from Milly, hibiscus, and ginger. Pekoe now has 35 teas from 25 regions, and each newcomer carries its own recipe and a map of where the plant comes from.
- Every region wears a painted card, gouache on paper, labeled as the illustration it is.
- How each tea is made is drawn: twenty-one gestures in a single ink line, on the tea page.
- The tea page follows the order you need: the recipe first, then what the tea remembers of you in words, then when it is picked.
- Arabic now reads the whole catalog, and Japanese gets its aroma notes back.
- The Lock Screen and the widgets speak Arabic.
- One line in Settings lets you write to us. You send the mail, and Pekoe sends nothing.

The cup gets a vocabulary.
Too strong now has a reason: bitter or heavy, and the advice picks the right lever, water or leaf.
- Celsius or Fahrenheit: recipes, the slider, and the cooling curve follow your choice.
- The recipe thread shows every adjustment you kept, on the tea's own page.
- The Atlas grows: gardens to visit, a story for each of 22 regions, and what is in harvest soon.
- Pekoe now speaks Arabic, fully right to left, down to the dial.
- A new bell is tuned to be the only sound in the app, and a new seal on the icon marks it.
