2018: How much will you spend on tea this year?

Last year was the first year I spent a considerable amount on tea, with one order from Yunnan Sourcing (170 CAD), Taiwan Sourcing (140 CAD) and Yunomi (50 CAD) each. Together with several other purchases from Distinctly Tea and David’s Tea, the total would be around 600 CAD.

This year I have placed one big order from YS, which hopefully will also be the only one. I am already above last year’s spendings, but I hope to keep it below 1000 CAD in the end.

January
Yunomi – 50 CAD

February
Tao Tea Leaf – 125 CAD
Distinctly Tea – 50 CAD
Yunnan Sourcing – 500 CAD

Yunnan Sourcing – 400 CAD

June

August

Running total for 2018: 1820 CAD

I’m doing really well this year (so far). I’ve spent maybe $120 total ($20 DT small purchases, $30 paying for shipping on samples, $35 to 52Teas, $30 for amoda sampler sizes.

Have to pat myself on the back for holding steady at $100 total so far this year. No tea purchases since January. I’ve been busy drinking down my stash in order to clear room in my cabinet for spring teas. Should be able to easily go another month without needing to order anything.

This year has been unusual for me as I have only spent maybe $400 on tea for myself, but I spent $1000 in one order from Taobao for my ebay store and was rewarded with some good tea. I couldn’t be certain they would be good but they all tasted as good as they looked in the pictures. I have an even bigger purchase planned for my EBay store but don’t know if it will happen this year. First I need to sell some of the stuff I bought in my last order.

May- $20

It was only a matter of time…I just hit $300 for the year with my Tillerman’s order. As usual, there’s been a flurry of orders since the spring harvests began rolling out a couple of months ago.

Just made an order of 750$ CAD from teavivre with their 7th anniversary sales haha. Now I’m hoping there wont be that much sales this year. Anyway, so far so good, only 750 as of right now!

I have already spent around $600 USD on a massive White2Tea order, a bunch of tea from the NY Coffee & Tea festival, and Liquid Proust’s New Puer Drinking Project. I am actually in the midst of measuring out halfsies for my best friend who is a new Puer drinker.

With that, I really should not be buying any more tea except for caffiene free barley tea. except maybe some more Yorkshire Gold

I’ve spent around $14 on autumn tea this month.

Oh no, don’t make me confess to my tea spending! I already have a spreadsheet for yarn spending! XD
