- Note: We are currently working on remaking this project from scratch using ReactJS and expanding upon it.
An interactive database for lovers and enthusiasts of gong fu cha. Built by tea enthusiasts, for tea enthusiasts. This website is an extension of the popular facebook group Gong Fu Cha run by Nicky Evers of this project. https://www.facebook.com/groups/gongfucha/?fref=nf
Gongfutea does accept pull requests - please include clear comments in both your code and your PR about what the issue is that you have fixed and how.
- HTML
- CSS
- Javascript & jQuery
- Node
- Heroku & HerokuDB (deployment and database)
- Google Maps API
We use the Google Maps API to grab information about tea shops all over the world - however, that information is pulled from a database created by our users. Shops and houses can be found internationally - we accept new shops from the US, China, Taiwan, Europe and all over the world.
We want our users to identify and submit their own favorite tea shops, tea houses and tea plantations, rather than rely on information from Google. All of the tea locations in our database have been selected and submitted by users.
We provide updated information on both where you can visit the best tea shops across the nation, and where you can fins the best deals for tea online.
We are just getting started here. In the future, we will add:
- Google Places integration with our form.
- Photo gallery
- Review functionality
- List of tea blogs
- Database of tasting notes
- Amy Chen
- Aaron Krause
- Tom Timmel
