Tea reviews. There's a theme worth doing. We had talked about it once
before, but I think the idea died. Perhaps your site could be a tea review
site. Could you table-ize it? Perhaps include discreet (sp?) places for 1)
type (broad), 1a) type (narrow), 2) source, 3) brewing temperature, 4)
amount of dry tea, 5) amount of wet water, 6) time the leaves swim in the
water, 7) comments, 8) other items I didn't think of. That way the verbose
and analytical would have there spaces, and the verbose and romantic would
also have theirs (the comments part). That way, your contribution would be
solid, especially if it were possible to organize the columns.

I suggest you illicit people to help you do it, especially those who have
already engaged in such projects in the past. Whaddaya say, Nico?
