Vision


1. On-site ground tea-bag sales (bike coffee, salads, recipes)


Offline subscription: bike tours, organic, delivery, street vending, roaming lodging, tours

2. A brief break for city dwellers (5 minutes — camping, perfect music, stillness, coolness, warmth)

3. Time to find myself (tweet/letter to "tomorrow me" or next week's me)

4. Finding a soulmate (tweet/letter to someone in a similar mood)

5. Offer a secret paper (a sheet to write the day's journal on)




Setup

- Xiaomi water purifier, thermal flask, 


Products 

   - Daily set — morning coffee, anti-drowsiness tea, before-leaving-work, before-bed

   - Mobile P2P (public-data / CC-content-only P2P sharing, campaign use) 

   - Electric bike (use of charging stations as battery: warming, LP, grinder)

   - Revolution — caller ID (communication) vs device ID


Platform

   - Yakult-style rounds 

   - Free for café owners (in exchange: signature + review), promo posts allowed, beans supplied, music sold

   - Daily manuscript — writing — revenue share 

   - Recruit writers, musicians, roasters — "word-cigarettes"

   - Morning pages — comics — novel — artwork

   - Journey writing, sketching, coffee tour, 100-day trip, field reports, art galleries and restaurants along the way, interviews

   - Having lots of time or a wide space doesn't mean everyone can feel at ease

   - Comments, instant camera, stubby-pencil pack

   - Café noise

   - Delivery happiness (we'll wash your feet)

   - A drawing lottery instead of coupons 

   - Coffee reused as "coffee cement," not paper but mugs, noriyaki
