1 INSTRUCTIONS AND HOW-TO GUIDE

Section I Overview
Thank you for using the Tea Library! I hope you find this document useful as your archive your tea experiences.
The Sample Tea Library tab is an example of how a fully populated spreadsheet looks and feels. There is a lot of "dummy" data in that sheet, so please do not trust any of the cells as "actual" tasting experiences.
This file is based off the Reddit post in this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/tea/comments/5s8o3u/ive_tried_over_900_teas_in_4_years_anyone_else/
While I do not plan to actively support any modifications or updates to this file, please message me on Reddit if there is something critical to update. My username is gtwilliamswashu.
This product is released under the creative commons license and you may do what you wish with it - - including modifying and sharing.
Recommended best practice is to periodically save new versions of your Tea Library. It is good to have backup in case a formula gets tweaked as a part of entering data.
You may edit any data in rows B to Q

Section II Definitions

* Any category not in the following set is considered "other" in the pie chart {Black, Oolong, Green, White, Pu-erh, Herbal, Blend, Chai}

Section III Restrictions

a. Be consistent in spelling throughout the sheet. Charts and summed data rely on consistent spelling of brand, name, etc to display information accurately.
b. Do not remove the two rows of data in the tab 'My Tea Library'. Instead, modify these lines as you add your first two teas.
c. Unless you know what you are doing, do not edit data in column T or to the right of column T.

Section IV Adding Teas

In the tab 'My Tea Library', there are important formulas that must be copied and inserted properly in order for charts and summed data to be presented accurately.
Find the bottom most yellow bar with the cross pattern, let's call this the "last row".
Right click on the left most number for the row above the "last row" and select copy. (Row 19 in the left picture below)
Right click on the left most number of the "last row" and select "insert copied cells". (Row 20 in the right picture below)
This process should insert a populated row above the "last row".
Proceed to edit the data appropriately.
Repeat the steps to add additional teas to the library - - always copy the most recently added row above the "last row" and insert.
