Wow...$1499.00 for a „tea infuser with advanced algorithms“ (Teforia). I love my Darjeeling tea very much...but...not sure if that much...

Kind of shocking that the tea startup is the first result... after waiting for like 10 seconds for 20 entries to load.

Hmm, let me check this tea thing out... 10 clicks later... $1499! Yikes! Uh, it doesn't even come with an emoji touchbar, 4 usb-c ports, or anything.

How does that even work? How is there a market for that? How did they convince investors there is a market for that? How much CAN they grow?

It's 20x as expensive as the highest cost item any tea stack should have, and that'd be the Cuisinart CPK-17 Perfect Temp Kettle at $67.71 on Amazon right now. And that is one fancy kettle.

It's the solid academic background you're paying for.
Don't forget the courage.
Love it :)
Might make more sense for a boutique tea shop than personal use. see: espresso machines, starbuck's drip coffee maker.

Edit: it makes a single cup at a time. I was incorrect.
