I love tea. Always have.
One day I thought: “Why not create a place online where people can find the best tea spots in Pakistan and eventually beyond?”
The idea was simple:
- Support amazing local tea spots that don’t have an online presence.
- Share reviews, photos, and stories.
- Help people discover the hidden gems that deserve attention.
So, I did what I usually do when an idea excites me:
- Bought a domain.
- Built a website.
- Started uploading reviews of the tea spots I’d already visited (with images and videos I had saved).
- Even scheduled weekly visits to new places so I could keep creating content.
I called it TeaDesert.
And it actually started working. The blog got ranked on Google. Traffic was building. I could see it had potential.
But here’s the truth: I was already running Marketist, building my personal brand (imrannadir.com), and juggling ten other things at once.
And when you don’t give something the time and focus it deserves… it doesn’t fail immediately, it just quietly dies.
That’s what happened with TeaDesert.
It wasn’t money (the cost was small). It wasn’t the idea (people loved it).
It was me. My focus was spread too thin.
Eventually, I stopped posting. Stopped visiting. Didn’t renew the hosting.
And just like that, TeaDesert was gone.
But, but I kept writing and here I have covered best tea in Pakistan: https://imrannadir.com/blog/best-tea-in-pakistan/
The Lesson:
You can do anything in this world, but you can’t do everything.
That’s why I chose to focus on Marketist and my personal brand.
And one day, when I’ve systemized my income and balanced my work-life better, I’ll bring TeaDesert back.
Because I still love tea.
And the world still deserves to know where the best cup is hiding.
I have a few more failed blogs in the graveyard – stay tuned, I’ll share those stories too.
