Andrews & Dunham Damn Fine Tea

I’m not generally the biggest fan of Ceylon black teas, but this one is solid and the best I’ve had.

Working on some Steepster updates! Noticed that this stuff gets better as it cools. I’m almost out though :(

Could drink this all day long. In fact, AM drinking this all day long!

Had multiple infusions of this today. The more I drink it, the more I like it — you end up with a nice lingering umami finish. You have to be careful not to oversteep this on the first infusion though, as it will turn bitter quickly if you miss your mark. I’d probably go with 2 1/2 minutes at 180-degrees.

This was my last cup of this particular tin. Easily one of the best teas I’ve tried.

Loving this stuff. Thinking about checking out A & D’s series 2, but I still haven’t finished this or the Dragonwell, and I haven’t even touched the Ceylon yet. Don’t want to risk tea overload I guess, heh.

Got a couple cups out of this. I find myself more and more surprised by how long this 2oz. tin is lasting.

Yeah, I drank this. What of it?

Definitely took a shining to this stuff. Got another resteep out of the first cup, and I was fine for about an hour, then I had to go back in and make another 2 cups. How is this tea so tasty?! It’s almost not fair for other teas, because it’s so choice.

As far as damn fine teas go, this tea is in fact damn fine. Probably not an everyday tea, just to enhance its enjoyment.

This was the last of it. Good stuff, just don’t over steep (3 min. only).

I’m going to be needing series 3 soon!

Just three minutes steep time to keep it from getting bitter.
