What is deliberately left out

The following are excluded on purpose, to keep this a map for finding tea shops.

Shops in Bangladesh, Pakistan and Nepal — the underlying map data mostly points at street chai stalls that cannot be identified as shops.
Retail shops in India and Sri Lanka — many are eateries or general stores, so only tea estates and factories are included.
Large bubble tea chains outside Japan — they would crowd out tea specialists. Japanese bubble tea shops have their own layer.
Teavana — all stores closed in 2018, but stale entries remained in the source data and were removed.
Coffee chains, kombucha bars and similar — tagged as tea shops in the source data but selling something else.
