Dragonwell from Andrews & Dunham Damn Fine Tea

chrine drank Dragonwell by Andrews & Dunham Damn Fine Tea

I was so excited and surprised when my A&D DFT Series 1 arrived today, only three days after I had ordered it.

The Dragonwell came in a medieval green and white labeled tin. The leaves are flat and varies in shade from light-medium to very dark green. The smell is green tea, vegetal, musty, and soft. The tea is a pale yellow and oh so good! The leaves became long and thin and muted deep spring green. The smell was fresh and tea-y. The tea tastes green and light and a bit bitter in a good way. It’s Damn Fine and I’m about to brew the leaves again for a second cup.

Excellent! I need to try this at a lower temperature. I think I had mine around 177-178 and I think it was a tad too high. Will try it around 170.

Bio

I’m a 28 year old pharmacist. I live with my husband and our two cats, Bin and Sakai. I love tea, coffee, reading, and learning.

I’ve drank tea all my life but recently my close friend Spautz became an educated tea drinker and started educating me. Since then I’ve tried white teas and oolong and learned that I love rooibos.
