Friday Roundup: September 6th – September 12th

The Friday Roundup is a weekly collection of five of my favorite blog posts from around the world. It’s my little way of getting the word out about all of my favorite tea blogs. Is there someone I’m missing? Let me know about it in the comments below!

How To Run A Tea Blog As A Business

Eric from One Man’s Tea Journey takes a look at tea blogging from the perspective of a CPA. This is a topic that has been on mind a lot lately. I think he is right in the summation that most tea blogs would show a net loss, this one included. Hopefully that will change in the future!

4 Playlists to Drink Tea To!

Cody, aka The Oolong Drunk, always finds a way to combine his passions for tea and music. This week he shared four curated playlists designed to last the duration of one gongfu session. I am incredibly surprised that Lana Del Rey is not featured on all of them.

Tea for Rainy Days: Umbrella 2020 from W2T

Marco from Steap’d shared his thoughts on Umbrella from White2Tea. This a tea that I definitely regret not purchase but it was great to hear about his experience, especially across multiple sessions. It definitely sounds like the perfect companion for a rainy day.
