I like how you have collected a lot of data and let me peek into it in different ways. However - even as an avid tea drinker, you're still not solving a real problem of mine. I'm not wondering "what is the complete set of tea that contains ginger" or "or what are the set of teas from cylon".

I look forward to see what you do with the site, but please solve a problem and make it clear on the site what that problem is.

Care to tell us what problem the site can solve for tea-drinkers?

ps: i'm not affiliated with the site. just curious.

I would imagine by use (digestion, rest, energy), flavours (sweet, savory), caffeine content, etc.

That said, OP, congrats on your first MVP!

Thanks for your feedback. What would make it more useful for you? Finding teas that contain ginger isn't too useful, but apple and cinnamon-flavored teas that help improve digestion would be useful for me, at least. I get the health benefit with my favorite flavors.

It's a tough question. I suppose it would be useful if it helped me make less regrettable purchases. Steepster is of course aimed in that direction, and it's proven unprofitable for them. I wish I had a better answer for you.

I would probably see if anyone has solved this problem for wine, beer, chocolate or coffee and see what value they are adding.
