I'v very recently (few days ago) launched a service with the same business model but for Japanese tea, called Tomotcha: https://tomotcha.com

I'll most certainly do a Show HN soon, just a couple of things to fix before. For instance the price is currently only listed in EUR, but if you prefer to be billed in USD just drop us an email saying so and we will bill you in USD ($25/month).

Looks interesting. I'm certainly interested in Japanese teas and like being able to sample a variety ( http://gwern.net/Tea - might I encourage you to also explore the world of oolongs as well as greens?), but looking at your current front page, my first thought is 'it sounds like a good idea, but how do I know the tea they send will be any good? What have they sent in the past and/or plan to send for launch?' You have a listing of families, but not the specific ones.
