From Andrews & Dunham Damn Fine Tea

China is such a great, big, humongous place we decided it was only fitting to celebrate the Chinese New Year with a great, big, humongous tin of Yunnan Tea! Ring in the Year of the Tiger with some of the strongest tea on Earth. If this stuff doesn’t put fur on your hide and make your mug growl you’re brewing it wrong. The history of tea begins in Yunnan, and you’ll see why this is the granddaddy of them all when you brew up a cup — it’s strong and smooth, spicy and sweet, rich and earthy. It has a thousand stories to tell, so listen up!

The labels on the tins were lovingly hand printed in Minneapolis by Aesthetic Apparatus, and each tin comes with a feisty tiger sticker to adorn the surface of your choosing. There are only 50 of these in the whole wide world so get one while you can.

Brew this Chinese black tea in boiling water for 4 to 5 minutes. Enjoy a few more infusions, lengthening the brew time just a bit with each one.

Wow, this is a really great tea. I am so glad to have gotten my hands on it! It isn’t as strong as other yunnan provence teas i’ve had. But because of that , I think it is perfect. It isn’t so strong that it will turn you off after one cup, instead the leaves keep bringing you back for more and more. It is smooth, flavorful, a bit earthy, a bit sweet and a lot of yumminess :)

currently on my 3rd steep and still enjoying it!

Ha, I thought this was a super strong one. Then again I haven’t had much Yunnan tea. Or at least I can’t recall having much.

Jillian

Witness my envy at you and all the other people who managed to get hooked up with this tea while I missed out. ;)

I’m disappointed in myself for drinking this up over the winter, it makes a wonderful iced tea.

This is the last of it. I was lucky to get it in the first place, but it will be missed. Back to Adagio’s version. Looking forward to more from Andrews & Dunham soon!

This is hands down the best black tea I have ever had. Good and strong, but needs a bit of sugar for my taste.

New tea! This is much better than Rishi’s Yunnan by far. I like that it’s not too sweet and not too earthy. It’s smooth and I noticed a little bit or froth form in my tea basket (didn’t make it to cup tho). This would be a good tea for those who aren’t into the punchier black teas A&D offer, I think.

I just finished off the last bit of this tea – and based on everyone else having finished it a year ago, I would suspect that this tea is no more (anywhere).

It was so wonderfully rich and sweet, with nutty and caramel flavors and a really rich aroma. It was wonderful with milk and sugar, or just with milk, or with just some sugar, or just by itself – basically any possible combination you could do was perfect.

Alas, it’s gone now, but I’ll be keeping my eye on A&D from now on.

A little rough so I added milk. Reminds me a bit of an Irish Breakfast because of the stoutness.
