We improved our on-site search; now, when you search for a tea company, it not only shows the names and links to their main pages, but you also get the company logo, and direct links to the pages to browse teas or reviews!

We added additional detail to our Reviewer Box on the page for each tea review; now you can see not only how many teas of that style and from that region the person has reviewed, but you also get a count of reviews from the broader (parent) region or style, see this pic!

On the website of @brodies1867, such seamless blending of modern social networking icons into a timeless, old-fashioned looking aesthetic. So well-executed!

We improved breadcrumb navigation for "deep" pages, like subregions of states or provinces, or sub-styles like Keemun Mao Feng or Darjeeling First Flush. Now all levels are listed! We hope this will help people better navigate our site and discover richer info about tea!

If you know of any single-origin teas produced in any district not highlighted in green on our map of Assam, and available for sale in the West, please let us know; we want to add it: ratetea.com/region/assam/14/

The shape of Assam, India, and its districts, may look strange to an outsider, but the boundaries mostly reflect geographic boundaries such as hills, mountains and rivers: ratetea.com/region/assam/14/

Our original map of the tea-producing regions of Assam reflects newer political boundaries not reflected in many online maps. Visit our site for an interactive (clickable and labeled) version: ratetea.com/region/assam/14/
