Captain Assam from Andrews & Dunham Damn Fine Tea

LiberTEAS drank Captain Assam by Andrews & Dunham Damn Fine Tea

I was so happy to open my mailbox and find that distinctive package in my mailbox! Yay!

This is an excellent Assam. Not quite as hearty as some Assam teas that I’ve tried, but it is incredibly smooth with a delicious sweetness. Not quite as astringent as other Assam teas out there.

And then, there is the packaging… these tins are gorgeous! Love them!

I recently came across Andrews & Dunham Damn Fine Tea and I am definitively wanting to collect some of their tins; they are indeed lovely. Thanks for reminder.

Profile

Bio

I am obsessed with tea!

I am a co-founder of the SororiTEA Sisters:
http://sororiteasisters.com

I also review teas for the Tea Review Blog:
http://www.teareviewblog.com

In addition to my passion for tea, I am also a mixed media/altered arts artist. You can see some of my art here: http://eccentricpastiche.blogspot.com

I am also a self-proclaimed foodie. I review local restaurants and the food I buy online here: http://hungryinportland.wordpress.com

My favorite teas are Yellow Teas with most Oolong teas at a close second. As far as “flavored” teas go, I love Earl Grey, Chocolate and Jasmine teas.

I also am intrigued by flavored teas with an unusual or unique flavor combination.

I don’t do a whole lot of swaps anymore, however, I do occasionally sell sampler boxes here: http://liberteas.teatra.de/ I don’t always have sampler boxes available as it depends upon how much time I have as well as packaging supplies. I usually post at least one or two sampler boxes per month, though, so if you’re interested, keep an eye out or PM me and I’ll let you know when I have some posted.

Most of the teas that I record in my notes here are going to have a fairly high rating from me. This is not because I am not discerning, but because I do not usually waste my time on drinking tea I do not care for, nor will I waste my time on writing about it.
