Frequently asked questions
Is.tea a live domain extension?
No. Public disclosure materials describe it as a proposed new gTLD rather than a delegated live extension.
Who is associated with.tea?

Can I register a.tea domain now?
Not on the basis of the public status currently identified. It is not shown as a live delegated extension.
What kind of projects would.tea suit?
It would suit tea brands, cafés, growers, subscriptions, guides, events and culture projects.
Why is contested status important?
It means more than one public applicant is linked to the same string, so the path to any launch is not straightforward.
Does.tea guarantee availability in the future?
No. A proposed string may change status, and final availability depends on the outcome of the application process.
