A drop-in Chinese-tea skill.

Give Claude or a Custom GPT authoritative knowledge of 450 Chinese teas across 72 languages — brewing, terroir, chemistry, tasting, history and a 2,623-term glossary — so it answers from real data instead of guessing.

Claude (Desktop / Cowork)

1. Download chinese-tea-knowledge.skill.
2. Install it — open the .skill file (or drop it into your skills folder). It triggers on tea questions automatically.
3. The skill calls the public API (free, English). For 7 / 72 languages, it can send a paid key (Authorization: Bearer tt_…) — get one on the pricing page.

Prefer no install? The same thing is also a live MCP server.

Custom GPT / GPT Action (OpenAI)

1. Create a GPT → Configure → Actions → Import from URL: https://api.thetea.app/openapi.yaml
2. Paste the instructions from SKILL.md into the GPT's system prompt.
3. No auth needed for the free tier; add a Bearer key in the Action's auth for paid languages.

What it can answer

• brew a tea
• flavor / tasting
• terroir & origin
• chemistry
• compare teas
• recommend by criteria
• tea terminology
• 72 languages

Other ways in

Same data as a REST API, a hosted MCP server, an OpenAPI spec and an llms.txtAccount.
