I spend about 50 to 70 dollars a month. That sounds fine but when you add it up over 12 months it really sounds like too much; therefore I shall refuse to think about it. There, I feel much better.......

A particularly good large steep of fukamuchi sencha Maki this morning, houjicha this afternoon, and and two pots of Yunnan Noir from Adagio tonight.

I voted for 500 or less, although I suspect I'm kidding myself there. Actually, I don't really want to contemplate this one...

Good poll, though! It made me think hard about my TeaBudget.

I'm a day late on posting, but NOT a dollar short. I really don't have a tea budget, but I probably really need one! I voted less than 500, but I spent considerably more than that in 2008 during my frenzy of "must try everything". I am hoping I will scale back a bit this year, but I know when Spring harvests come in, I'm going to stock up on some teas I now consider essentials.

Sal... kyusu... need... love... gorgeous.

Chip... the Dr. Seuss of Tea... well done.

***This organic blend is earthy & spicy, with a fragrant aroma & smooth flavor to captivate the senses. Naturally sweetened in the Kentucky sunshine & infused with natural energy. Equally delicious when served piping hot or crisply chilled.***

I haven't a clue what I spent last year, and I'm rather scared to find out.
