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.

Unveiling a new section of Tea Finely Brewed

I alluded to this a few weeks back, but today I’m happy to mention this to you. I’ve been working hard on launching a new section of the site where you can compare similar teas from different vendors. It’s still a work in progress, but if you would like to check it out, go here:

http://teafinelybrewed.com/shop/

Ultimately, I would like that section of the site to help anyone buying tea online to find the best of any specific variety of tea. To make that happen, I’ll be adding in listings from more tea merchants and spend a lot more time writing reviews.

If you have any feedback, I’d love to hear it. Please contact me.

Check out the Steepster Holiday Tea Gift Contest

If you haven’t checked out Steepster before, do yourself a favour and go check it out. It’s pretty much the coolest, slickest community of tea lovers out there. And right now, they’re running a great contest. Seriously, they’re giving away tons of tea and a Sorapot (all up, worth over $825) to one very lucky tea lover. It’s just a shame that this contest is only open to people living in North America. My little heart is broken.
