2025: How Much Will You Spend on Tea This Year!?
Time to track how much you’re spending on tea each year. You can edit a comment to keep track throughout the year, or make a new comment for each month/purchase – totally up to you! A lot of people set a budget/goal for the year or an amount they’d like to stay under per month. Some folk include teaware purchases or costs that go towards one on one swaps or things like travelling tea boxes, and others don’t. There is no wrong way to set your budget or track what you’re spending!
If you’ve seen past years threads and felt awkward joining in mid year, now is a perfect time to join in – and if you’re seeing this in the future and it’s the middle of the year don’t feel like you can’t start mid way through!
So have fun, and lets track our tea spending!

Last year was pretty solid in terms of meeting the goals I set out! I had set a goal of spending less than 2023 with a loose target of under $8K and I managed to hit that with change! It was actually the lowest I’ve spent on tea/teaware since 2020, which feels pretty good.
I’ve found the last few years that keeping tabs on tea and teaware spending separately is very helpful, so I’m going to continue to do that in 2025. I did have a mini goal of not spending more than $3K on teaware this year and it was the only one I failed to meet – though I was close, with only $120 over goal.
This year my goals are focused around minimizing spending and maximizing the amount of space in my apartment – I’m going fairly aggressive with them because I’ve seen this past year that I am capable of meeting those targets when I keep them top of mind.
GOALS:
1. Spend less than $6,000 TOTAL on both tea & teaware
2. Spend less than $2,500 TOTAL on teaware
3. No buying new mugs unless they are handmade from small/indie creators
4. Be more selective of what tea and hard samples I bring home from work
5. No impulse purchases (ie. Wait at least 24 hours before ordering something)
January Purchases: $0.00
TEA SPENDING TOTAL: $0.00
TEAWARE SPENDING TOTAL: $0.00
GRAND TOTAL: $0.00
2019 total: $200
2020 total: $195.57
2021 total: $57.20
2022 total: $86.25
2023 total: $66.38
2024 total: $212.63
My goal is spending $0 in 2025.
