Community guidelines

Make the atlas more useful without pretending one visit, purchase, or palate is universal.

Record what you experienced

Give dates to visits, brews, prices, opening hours, availability, and photos. Mark seller statements as claims. Do not present inference as documented fact.

Review the experience, not the person

Specific criticism of service, products, access, shipping, or information is welcome. Harassment, threats, identity attacks, doxxing, and coordinated score manipulation are not.

Disclose material relationships

Say when tea, travel, service, or payment was complimentary, discounted, sponsored, or provided by a business you represent. Businesses may add counter-evidence but cannot erase subjective reviews.

Handle names and translations carefully

Use local-script names when they preserve source meaning. Working translations, OCR, and community aliases are finding aids, not authentication certificates.

Moderation

Records may be held, rejected, or removed for safety, privacy, manipulation, illegality, or repeated guideline violations. Decisions should carry a reason and remain attributable. Use a private report for sensitive concerns.
