No, that is a bad idea. The "description" field does not provide consistent data. It is always preferable to use a new, more specific tag. One of the basic ideas of OpenStreetMap is "Any Tags You Like", because we want mappers to invent new tags when there isn't a way to tag some specific, verifiable information about a feature. The key "cuisine" is currently used for a number of things: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:cuisine The values "coffee_shop" and "bubble_tea" are both documented, "cuisine=juice" has been used over 1400 times, and "cuisine=tea" is also in use a few hundred times. I think using that key is reasonable, though developing more specific tags is also an option. – Joseph Eisenberg On Fri, Jul 3, 2020 at 2:48 AM Paul Allen <pla16...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Fri, 3 Jul 2020 at 10:36, 德泉 談 via Tagging <tagging@openstreetmap.org> > wrote: > >> >> This kind of places may focus on different drinks: coffee/iced >> tea/juice/bubble tea/etc...
