Steepster enables tea-drinking 2.0

There's a social network for just about everything these days, so it only makes sense that serious tea drinkers would get a social site of their own. It's called Steepster, and once you get your head around the idea that someone built a social network around tea, it's quite well-executed. Users can enter what they drink in a personal tealog, including comments or tasting notes that could come in handy for fellow tea aficionados.

Steepster has a Facebook-style activity feed, so you can see the latest from any friends you make on the site. It also has a shopping list, which seems to me like the site's killer feature. If you're reading about a whole lot of tempting teas, it only makes sense to have a place to keep track of the ones you want to try for yourself. You don't have to be a member to browse teas on Steepster, though. Each tea page contains info like caffeine content, ideal steeping time and temperature, and ingredients.
