Thank you to Tea Finely Brewed sponsors

I’d like to take a quick moment to thank the three companies who are sponsoring Tea Finely Brewed in January, and to highlight some of the special deals they have going.

I’m one!

On Wednesday, Tea Finely Brewed turned one year old.

It’s been a fun year. Some of the highlights for me have included:

  • Reaching 100 subscribers back in August (the blog now has over 200 subscribers)
  • Having a few posts go viral on StumbleUpon
  • Interviewing Mary Lou Heiss, who co-wrote The Story of Tea, one of my favourite books about tea
  • Meeting other tea bloggers, tea store owners and others with a passion for tea through the blog and Twitter
  • Signing up my first advertisers (thanks Bana Tea Company and Teavana!)
  • Drinking tons of tea, including many I’d never even heard of before starting the blog

All in all, Tea Finely Brewed has been a great project for me personally. I hope you’ve enjoyed it along the way! As always, I would love to hear from you if you have any suggestions for topics you would like to see covered on the blog. Just send me an email.

Tea Finely Brewed hits 100 subscribers

Tea Finely Brewed hits 100 subscribers

I was thrilled this weekend to see that the subscriber count for Tea Finely Brewed has jumped up to 100. When I first started this blog back in December, I figured it would be fun to write about tea — but I didn’t really imagine a simple blog about tea could develop a readership. It’s humbling to know that this blog has, slowly but surely, attracted a small band of readers.

To those of you who are subscribed: Thank you!
