Thanks for the specific feedback.

If you wouldn't mind being a little more specific about about the tea bags vs raw ingredients, I'd like to incooperate this in some way but I'd like to get a little more detail on what exactly your view is here. just drop me a line at justin@entitea.com

As for the searching, I plan to add a smarter search very soon, so that it can recommend other keyword searches based on what your original search was for (ie searching for assam will suggest searching for 'black tea', and so on)

I drink coffee too, but are there really enough different coffee recipes to have a social network around them? (I'm much more into tea than coffee, and have just in the past month started on coffee so this is a serious question for you). I like the idea of having maybe different categories, tea, coffee, but would there be enough variations of coffee to do that type of thing?

Coffee can fit nicely here I believe. After I graduated, I started drinking coffee and fell in love with it. (My GF believes I have an unhealthy relationship with trying different blends and styles - ie latte, mocha, etc). However, there's a fairly large market for coffee lovers when it comes to blends and also coffee machines.

Do a quick search for "coffee machines forum" and you'll see what I mean.

As of right now yes, but as answerly mentioned going the affiliate route for tea-specific things would probably be a much better way to go.

Good point, I didn't even realize that. I'll get that fixed to avoid confusion.

Thanks for the input, and for the link to the tea related affiliates. I definitely think that is a better way to go for monetizing the site, I'll be looking over those affiliate links.
