I’ve been watching the hits for months, tracking when traffic waxes and wanes during the weeks and have come to one overriding fact… I get less traffic on Mondays than most any other day of the week.

It is for this purpose that beginning in August, accessory and product reviews will be swapping with news, culture and history.

You can thus expect to see the following items reviewed on Thursdays moving forward:

• Books
• Software
• Infusers
• Kettles
• Water Warmers
• Cozies
• Tea Houses/Tea Rooms
• Tea Storage containers

Moving forward you can expect the following to appear on Mondays

• News
• Culture
• History
• Event coverage
• Announcements
• Updates
• New feature introductions
• Interviews with tea industry experts and entrepreneurs.

I believe this new schedule will jive better with you as my audience and certainly hope it will help drive traffic in a more predicatable manner.

Monday is Teahouse/Tea Room, Accessory and Brand Review Day!

I found this “tea-room” listed online. High hopes were set for this establishment as it’s located in one of the best hotels here in Cincinnati. Will The Cricket Lounge live up to its pedigree?

Monday is Teahouse/Tea Room, Accessory and Brand Review Day!

Essencha, located in Oakley, is considered one of the premier tea houses in the greater Cincinnati area. Part of this is its trendy location. Part of it is the great tea, part is the atmosphere and part is its more contemporary style.
