Like Candy Japan, but for Japanese Tea – Tomotcha.com

Hacker News

I've been sending green tea from Japan to a friend in France for a while, so we decided to give a shot at monetizing this very simple idea. The business model is quite evidently derived from Candy Japan (candyjapan.com). For now the concept is really really simple: I just pick the best teas I can find, and ship them. Last month it was a Kabusecha from the Kyoto prefecture; next weekend I'll be travelling to Kagoshima to find a great tea for next month shipment. Ultimately we'd like to offer a bit more choice: amount, organic-only, etc. Feedback and inputs are very much appreciated!
