Which new features do you want the most?

Since chai has it’s own category, please make matcha a separate category as well- or better yet a general “stone ground” category as there are stone ground white, oolong, and black teas as well. Separate pouchong and amber pu erh (along w/ shu and sheng) categories would be nice as well.

I would love a reset button in the tealog pop-up for the Rating and Steeping Parameters slide bars to set the values back to the default blank position.

Here are some things, apologies if they’ve already been stated. I don’t know if they’re technologically possible, but they would make things much easier.

First, the ability to see others of your logs easily while writing a new log without having to log into Steepster twice and move back and forth between windows. So if you want to know what you said about a particular tea that you want to compare something else to, you can pull that info up easily from your same log in. The same would be true about the logs already entered on the tea you’re reviewing, so that you can see them easily and enable easier agreement or disagreement with what others have said in the past.

Second, an ability to sort tea logs other than by reverse chronological order and popularity and to search in your logs (and others) to find a particular one by author and tea logged.

Third, the ability to see the names and ratings of all teas you’ve logged at a glance.

Thanks for considering.

Can’t see where to search within one topic – if this doesn’t exist, it sure would be nice.

Are photos on the list? Embedded in the messages would be wonderful, but a separate area would do.
Photos of the tea leaves and the tea??

I would like to be able to find other users to whom I am connected to nowhere else. A search field for users by name/location/handle?

I’m sure someone, somewhere has probably already said this… but it’s nearly 1am and there are 20 pages of replies so excuse my laziness!!!
It would be nice to see reviews/suggestions of good teawares. A good infuser or teapot… things that make a boring/less appealing tea drinking into something better. I know tea is going to taste nicer when infused better!

I think the “best teas” feature needs some work. Something like a minimum number of reviews before a tea can be considered. I mean seriously, 2 reviews and “Smokey Bacon” is on the front page?/?/?
Another minor nit…the ability to select the type of teas you want to see the “best of” is great, but its a royal pain to have it re-select and redraw for every one you uncheck. How about making it a select and submit item, so we can get mix and match our selections quickly, then submit them to the page for retrieval/redraw.

A chat window, to chat with other tea people who are online.

I apologize if this has been mentioned, but reading 20 pages is rather intimidating (i.e. I’m too lazy). But I would love to have an option within the Shopping List to mark the item as “To Be Sampled” or something of that sort.

I’m just now getting to the point of adding teas to my list that I’ll always want to have on hand, and so I thought it’d be really handy to be able to sort the Shopping List by what I’d still like to sample, and what are becoming staples for myself that aren’t currently in my cupboard. I also thought that it’d be handy for any friends or relatives whom I direct to this site to get gift ideas for little ole moi. That way they could either put together a sampler present or buy me a nice big tin of a tea that I’m needing.
