			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to PurelyTea.com!  This blog will explore tea in all its incarnations &#8211; as a beverage, as a recipe ingredient, and even as a health and beauty aid.  While this site is called &#8220;Purely Tea,&#8221; I&#8217;m most definitely not a tea purist.  I love black tea, green tea, and oolong, but I don&#8217;t discriminate against herbal infusions. I like to experience new teas and learn new things about tea, but I&#8217;m not a fan of tea snobbery (that&#8217;s probably fodder for an entire series of posts, so let me not digress.)   </p>
<p>I have wanted to start this blog for months, but haven&#8217;t been able to make it a priority.  Well, now it&#8217;s a new year and National Hot Tea Month, so what better time than now?  I&#8217;ve also received my first <a href="http://www.teachef.com/">TeaChef</a> sample from Adagio and will be participating in January&#8217;s Lapsang Souchong recipe challenge, so this will provide a place to post about my experience.</p>
<p>Before I end this first post, I&#8217;d like to thank Christine of <a href="http://coffeeworks.blogs.com/coffee_and_tea/">Morning Coffee &#038; Afternoon Tea</a> for sharing her National Hot Tea Month <a href="http://coffeeworks.blogs.com/coffee_and_tea/2006/01/hot_tea_month_j.html">icons</a> with the tea blogging community.  If you haven&#8217;t had a chance, check out her awesome blog for tea (and coffee) related insights and recipes.</p>
