A year and a half ago, I thought spending $10 on a 100 gram packet of loose leaf tea was exorbitant. These days, I regularly come out of a tea shop having spent between $50 and $100. And I’m not coming away with that much tea either — sometimes I can spend $50 just on 150 grams of tea.

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.

Fair trade is a tricky thing. I’ve written before about why I believe fair trade is important, but there’s a flipside: too often, fair trade tea is of lower quality to similarly-priced, non-fair trade tea. Which leaves a tea lover to decide between sacrificing quality or sacrificing an ethical stance.
Over the past year I have bought primarily non-fair trade tea, for one big reason: there are very few fair trade tea options around here in Melbourne, and the ones that I can find tend to be in teabag form. But one goal I’ve set for myself over the next few months is to explore some of the fair trade tea options available online. Here are five online tea stores that sell fair trade tea.
