Awesome! I can't wait!

I really want to order a tea blend, but I can't think of any coffees/teas that haven't been chosen yet. Any suggestions? c:

[Midnight Mare]

has jasmine tea been asked for? that randomly popped into my head, I don't know what it'd look like.

[Ciriun]

Jasmine is usually a blend with green, and if I'm not mistaken jasmine flowers are yellow, so it would probably have a soft green and yellow theme. And it doesn't look like anyone has ordered it yet.

As for things that haven't been ordered yet, I haven't gotten a lot of berry teas, and there are tons of other herbal varieties out there. But if you want some specifics, here are some tea brands that I like that who might be able to offer some inspiration.

Rishi Tea
Zhena's Gypsy Tea
Numi Tea
Twinings
Bigelow

When ordering a blend just be sure to ask either by ingredients in the blend, or if you want to use the name of one I'd appreciate a link to it to be sure I'm getting the right one. And there is no rule against duplicates. Every person will get a unique interpretation of the tea even if it has been ordered multiple times.

I still need to make myself rose tea, yerba mate, and lavender chamomile if I want to finish my collection of my personal favorite teas. I finished tulsi but I haven't posted her yet, and I'm still considering whether or not I love chrysanthemum pu-erh enough to make one of that or not.

Whoops, didn't notice you'd asked about coffee as well. I haven't gotten orders for pretty much any flavored coffee yet, but if you don't want to have the same one as someone else you might want to avoid hazelnut. It's the only coffee I drink.

I'm thinking about ordering a french roast coffee and a unsweetened black tea aswell if you're wanting to look into the future.

[Ciriun]

It gives me time to prepare and do research. I seriously do not drink coffee (other than my instant hazelnut <3) so I know pretty much nothing about the stuff. But I am hoping someone will be crazy and order civet coffee. :3 Or I might make that one myself and auction it or something. I have been toying with the idea of special edition Teamaid auctions. Also I need to think of what to do for holidays before October rolls around...

End ramble.

(Edit)
Okay, I made the civet coffee Teamaid, any suggestions for what I should do with her? She is definitely not going to be free, but I do want as many people as possible to have a chance at her. Also, should she come with a personality or not?

[Midnight Mare]

she should come with a partial personality, just a basic skeleton, where's a picture of her?

(french roast is just a dark, smooth coffee, I like it with alittle milk and sugar)

[Ciriun]

Not up yet. I'll post it when I figure out what to do with her and how to explain the fact that I gave her civet ears. ^^; The real reason is that the design just didn't look finished without them, but since Teamaids do not naturally come with furry ears I'm thinking it'll have to be some sort of experiment gone wrong or something along those lines.

[Midnight Mare]

maybe she's just got a genetic mutation, it happens. an auction would be a fun idea, everyone who could afford it would have a chance!

[Ciriun]

That is probably what will happen, but I'm hoping to get some more opinions first. I might have to make it a poll on the main thread once the current one has enough answers.

Oh, and I have a time for how long it takes for me to make a basic Teamaid. It was about half an hour from start to finish, not including the time spent looking up references. I think this is probably a good representation of how long a typical Teamaid with no new parts takes. I spent the most time on the cup, which I suspect is true most of the time since I have to come up with a design and more often than not draw it from scratch.

For reference, here is the Teamaid in question. Let me know what you think of her. :3
