I ♥ NewYorkCiTEA drank R29 Ceylon by Andrews & Dunham Damn Fine Tea

545 tasting notes

Yesterday morning I steeped this one again as my wake up cup and it provided the same tasty goodness it had the previous morning. I think the addition of quite a bit more leaf to these A&D teas is proving to be quite a good thing. I am again finding myself reaching for plain black teas first thing in the morning instead of pondering which flavored black tea called to me.

2nd steep: 7 mins
With breakfast of over easy eggs with siracha and multigrain toast with butter and strawberry conserves.

Preparation

205 °F / 96 °C 3 min, 30 sec

Bio

I’m 33 years old, studying pharmacy, and have a surly cat named Bin. I love tea, coffee, beer, wine, and most things food and beverage related. I also love music, movies, reading, writing, and learning new things.

I’ve drank tea all my life but about five to six years ago, my close friend Spautz got into tea and got me more into tea. I drink black teas and tisanes/herbals most. Since receiving a variable temperature kettle from my parents for Xmas this past year, I’ve been drinking more greens, oolongs, and whites. I’m very very new to puerh. That is, I’ve had only one.
