This sounded interesting to me when I first loaded the page and imagined it was talking about virtual tea: me sipping tea at home while typing/conversing live with a random person halfway around the world. Is there such a thing? Turns out there are quite a few, as I just discovered with a quick search. Any HN readers have good experiences with any of them? I just tried one briefly, and had a string of disconnects after just 'hello', and then one that didn't want to reveal the country they currently live in, after which I gave up.
