Product Overview

ChinaTea101.com is a structured guide to Chinese tea, with verified tea profiles, brewing lessons, a tea finder, and practical calculators for people learning where to begin.

Company record

Why We Built It

Chinese tea information is often fragmented or written for experienced drinkers. The product aims to make reliable guidance easier to navigate for beginners.

Company record

The Hypothesis

A small, carefully verified library with useful tools will earn more trust than a large collection of lightly sourced tea pages.

Company record

Who It Is For

Tea beginners, curious home brewers, travelers, and readers comparing Chinese tea types and brewing methods.

VALIDATIONSTALE
Current stage
VALIDATION
Hypothesis
A small, carefully verified library with useful tools will earn more trust than a large collection of lightly sourced tea pages.
Validation goal
Publish a minimum verified tea collection through the existing quality gate and measure use.
Evidence collected
A tea content model, draft publication checks, tea finder, calculators, search, and sitemap generation exist.
Missing evidence
A minimum live collection, confirmed image rights, current discovery, tool use, repeat use, and revenue.
Exit criteria
Two sourced tea profiles and one brewing lesson pass the production gate with cleared images and measurement.
Continue criteria
The minimum collection publishes reliably and earns verified discovery or tool use.
Kill criteria
Source or image-rights requirements cannot be met, or the measured minimum collection receives no useful activity.
Double-down criteria
Verified discovery and repeated tea-finder or calculator use justify expanding the sourced library.
Next experiment
Publish a small set of fully verified tea guides and see which ones readers actually use.

What We're Learning

For a trust-sensitive guide, source quality and image rights must be resolved before content volume. A smaller verified release is the stronger launch.
