I own a tea store and am interested in accepting bitcoins for online orders.
I think the best way would be to sell $20 gift cards for a certain amount of bitcoins. Then the customer could use the gift card when checking out at the store. This would mean I would not have to develop any software to integrate into my shopping cart.
I just heard about bitcoins about 20 min ago, so I would like some feedback. Are other online retailers accepting bitcoins, and what is the accepted exchange rate?
Hello David,
In the distant past, I had been willing to exchange bitcoins not for cash, but for confirmed tea orders from your competitor in Milwuakee, Rishi Tea. I am not in any way recommending this backward method. My only point is that as a bitcoin believer, tea junkie, and non-US resident, I have no reason to touch dollars but would make you bitcoin rich with my oolong habit.
The gift cards are not a bad idea, and I might take you up on your offer. However, why not post a few teasers here and see who bites?
Oh, shit! Did you get screwed by MyBitCoin? Please remove this link, it's not helping your sales. http://www.nmteaco.com/bitcoin.htmlWUYI Rock Tea![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nmteaco.com%2Fthumbnail.asp%3Ffile%3Dassets%2Fimages%2Foolong%2Fwuyioolong_side.jpg%26maxx%3D584%26maxy%3D408&t=665&c=_6wfTrr7X-qP-w)

With a nutty, roasted, flavor and sweet undertones, this WuYi makes a wonderful iced tea, perfect for the summer.This tea is grown in the WuYi Mountains of the Fujian Province, where the warm moisture and high elevation is perfect for producing this delightful Oolong.
If you've heard WuYi tea in reference to weight loss, that's because it is packed with powerful antioxidants and polyphenols, which some believe promote healthy weight loss.
Oolongs teas are best enjoyed when the leaves are briefly infused with hot water, which is then poured off. The tea is then re-infused and tea is poured to the guests after about 1 minute. The leaves may be reinfused several times, with each resulting infusion yielding different liquor from the proceeding cup.

Yes, please I'll take half a pound if you'll ship to Greenland. Oh, and maybe one of your lovely tea bowls. Or maybe you'd rather trade for a tupilak (see link in my signature)?
