teaBOT is creating a retail platform for customized grab-and go tea. Our robotic kiosks allow you to order a custom cup of loose-leaf tea and share your blends at the touch of a button.
teaBOT is in the S15 batch of Y Combinator. We have one in the office and I'm addicted to my custom gunpowder + peppermint tea blend. They're live at Coupa Cafe in Palo Alto if you'd like to check one out.
@jsinghdreams we haven't really seen the one at Samovar, that's so cool! We will make sure to stop in next time we're nearby. I can however speak to the focus of our technology, which is to allow users to quickly and conveniently blend a grab-and-go cup of tea. You can mix the teas however you want and its automated! The plan is to place our machines in a bunch of locations that you wouldn't typically think to spot a tea store! Hope that helps.
Would love to see TeaBOT side by side with a @poursteadynyc machine.

(Also, Poursteady is now in the Chelsea location of Cafe Grumpy in NYC!, so definitely could see these two together!)
I tried the TeaBot two weeks ago at one of the coffee shops and absolutely loved it. As a heavy tea drinker (who is also a picky tea drinker), the pre-mixed blends of teas are delicious.
I'd love to work with you guys. We're looking to come out with a loose leaf version of Zest Tea (http://zesttea.com) in the next few months. It would be a great addition to your blends as a way of providing a new level of caffeine content. I'm 100% sure the demographics line up, given our current customer base.
Tried the teaBOT multiple times and it's fast and consistent. Really cool to be able to personalize and mix different teas and caffeine levels. Their cup lids come with filters built into them so you don't get a mouthful of tea leaves. Founders are dope too. Question - been meaning to ask you guys... will teaBOT be making iced tea too?
Hi Product Hunt! Co-Founder of teaBOT here. Thanks for the encouragement! We’ve been building teaBOT in Canada for over a year and we’re thrilled to launch in California with the help of @ycombinator. teaBOT is a robotic kiosk that makes customized cups of grab-and-go tea. The machine is live @CoupaCafe in Palo Alto and a second will be lauching @WorkshopCafe in San Francisco! We have more arriving in Toronto in September and our mobile app is in private beta - coming soon! Please tell us where you’d like to see a teaBOT. Thank you for your feedback; we’re happy to answer any questions :)
