Welcome to PurelyTea.com! This blog will explore tea in all its incarnations - as a beverage, as a recipe ingredient, and even as a health and beauty aid. While this site is called “Purely Tea,” I’m most definitely not a tea purist. I love black tea, green tea, and oolong, but I don’t discriminate against herbal infusions. I like to experience new teas and learn new things about tea, but I’m not a fan of tea snobbery (that’s probably fodder for an entire series of posts, so let me not digress.)
I have wanted to start this blog for months, but haven’t been able to make it a priority. Well, now it’s a new year and National Hot Tea Month, so what better time than now? I’ve also received my first TeaChef sample from Adagio and will be participating in January’s Lapsang Souchong recipe challenge, so this will provide a place to post about my experience.
Before I end this first post, I’d like to thank Christine of Morning Coffee & Afternoon Tea for sharing her National Hot Tea Month icons with the tea blogging community. If you haven’t had a chance, check out her awesome blog for tea (and coffee) related insights and recipes.
