Do Steemians Like Tea?

<p>With these new platforms coming out where people can buy products online with Bitcoin and other crypto-currencies I have been trying to weigh out if it makes sense for me to sell some products on those platforms. &nbsp;I have access to a very large inventory of premier loose leaf teas. &nbsp;I would mainly only focus on shipping within the United States for right now since it becomes a hassle to ship internationally unless you are going through global shipping programs offered by eBay, Amazon, and Bonanza. &nbsp;</p>
<p>With platforms like <a href="https://www.peerhub.com">Peerhub.com</a> and <a href="https://purse.io/merchants/">Purse.io</a> I would be able to offer these loose leaf teas cheaper than if the transaction is going through Amazon, eBay, or even off my own website utilizing PayPal. &nbsp;</p>
<h3><img src="https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/10/06/tea-lineup3f015.png" width="800" height="352"/></h3>
<h3>So the main question I have is do Steemians drink tea and would those in the United States buy premium loose leaf teas if it was offered on these crypto sales platforms? &nbsp;</h3>
<p>Thank you for viewing my post and please consider following @brianphobos</p>

Those look like they would sell great around here. Caffinate all the bloggers!  

I would like to setup a store here too, but the steemit website removed the ability to Edit and Delete your posts about a month ago. Since removing edit and delete, the image links on many of my posts and product reviews broke and there is no way to fix them. (Unless they simply re-enable the ability to edit posts like it was working before.) I am glad I was not advertising a product for sale, because that undeletable post with old prices and a broken picture would be stuck there looking crappy forever. 

I will be holding off any advertising and sales here until changes are made that let me control my content and keep it updated,  like everywhere else on the internet. 

Post a link if you do find a good place to sell your products for crypto, caffine is always in demand!

I wanted to initially weigh out the demand because there are a lot of people who drink energy drinks, coffee, and tea that is already in tea bags.  This stuff takes a little more work so it is sort of a subset of the caffeine category and there aren't millions of people on this platform.  So I could spend days setting up the listings on Peerhub or Purse.io and get no sales.  That is the main hesitation at this point.  That sucks about the broken pictures.  At first I was using my personal web server to host pictures and then suddenly changes were made and I couldn't do that anymore but I started hosting stuff at SteemIMG.com and that is working great for me.

If you added a nice pu-erh black tea, a sencha green tea, and a yerba mate, I would be interested!

I have Yerba Mate and Japanese Sencha Saga Green Tea and also a pu'er Black Tea.  I think at this point there are enough people that seem potentially interested that I will work on loading some of these into PeerHub so people can pay with Steem and Steem Dollars.
