I voted over 300, but I really don't know. I love my tea, but I don't keep huge stores of it. Not really enough room for it. I buy enough of a few varieties to last for a while, then reorder when I run low...or run out, like I did this week. :cry: Sadly, because I don't have a local tea shop, a fair amount of money is eaten up in shipping costs.

Today was the obligatory English Breakfast. This afternoon was my first taste of white silver needle. I'm pretty sure I brewed it correctly, but I am not sure if I like it yet. Green and whites usually take a few cups to grow on me. This evening may be an Earl Grey that came in my most recent order.

Matcha in an admired, gifted Cory Lum Chawan earlier ... and finishing with Sakura Sencha from O-Cha with Mrs. Chip.

Finishing the day with some long jing and good premium green teabag from dens as I watch NHL playoffs. I can drink tea much later so I can stay up into the early morning watching the western time zone games.

First year of having a tea budget. I'm off to a good start of spending about $75. Looking forward to the rest of the year. Voted over 200 but depends on how much traveling I do.

Having a cool mint tea this evening.

Well this question is really hard for me. I don't really set a budget but just let it fly. After a few months I review the amount of money I spent on tea for the current year. If it is not an OMFG amount I keep spending :) but I just gota have my tea.

I said over 400. Probably WAY over 400...? Especially if you count the purchases for out-of-town family members.
