I really like the idea but unfortunately you guys aren't in Montréal yet and I'm not comfortable hosting. I'm afraid that when you do get here that I won't remember to check it out. Would it be possible to sign up and get notified when your service expands?
Building this this evening! Will reply back once the feature exists
Every time I find something like this and click on "Select Your City" dropdown it keeps reminding me all life happens somewhere else . Ah, so depressing. Really great idea, I mean. Good luck with that.
Didn't realize this was going to be on HN today, and did NOT plan for such amazing traffic. Everything we do is spread via word of mouth, so we don't face these issues as much as we have been today!
Wow. Didn't realize this was on HN. Hi guys. Ankit here. I started TWS. Happy to answer any q's here or by email (Ankit at teawithstrangers.com). Actually in the middle of a gathering of the SF host community right now so will be a tiny bit delayed on responses but will get to everything! Lots of gratitude for all the good words and valuable critiques.

any plan for bangalore? tea fanatic here :)
I have a personal interest in expanding into India and nearby areas, given my family background and a lot of nonprofit work I've done in the past, but we definitely have more operational challenges to sort out before we can focus intently on international expansion with an appropriate amount of tact and attention. In time!
If you love the idea and want to contribute, we're totally open source and transparent with regard to roadmap. On GitHub as @teawithstrangers, and more background and info is at http://making.teawithstrangers.com
This is a terrific idea. Out of curiosity, are you a company, a non-profit, a group of people doing a project for fun, or what?
I am very much in love with this idea. There's a chicken-and-egg problem, though, where I live in a city that I doubt will get a host spontaneously (Amarillo, TX) but I'd want to attend one of these to get a feel for it before I'm willing to host one myself. I wonder if there's an opportunity there, to have a sort of "training materials" that can better bootstrap a host in this kind of situation.
At the risk of a derail, I'm in SF for a few days (to host O'Reilly Fluent) and "doing" breakfasts at Mel's on Mission downtown - first one tomorrow 9amish :-)
