Excellent app. I've always been a "pour boiling water into mug with prepackaged tea bag in it" kind of guy, your app might convince me to discover the finer side of tea.
Just a minor issue I noticed: in iPad's Safari the video is stretched (it extends beyond the bounds of the background book) and as it plays your site constantly flickers and reloads itself.

- markkanof 16y agoEven if you don't get really into tea you might just try making a cup of tea with hot water instead of boiling water and only let it steep for 2-3 minutes (ie. don't just leave the bag sitting in the cup while you drink). I've found that it can give the tea a better flavor with less bitterness. There certainly is a whole world of loose leaf teas to explore, but at the same time, it's plenty possible to make a really good cup of tea from a standard tea bag.
- mactyler 16y agoHmm, I'll definitely check that out. Thanks!
- city41 16y agoThe flickering is greatly reduced on subsequent viewings (even after clearing the cache) and only occurs as the video is starting up now, not a big deal IMO. Not sure why it was so flickery the first time.
- mactyler 16y agoNo idea what is going on with the youtube embed. I've used css media queries to use a placeholder image on mobile safari that is a thumbnail you can click and will load the youtube video.
