Ceylon from Andrews & Dunham Damn Fine Tea

chrine drank Ceylon by Andrews & Dunham Damn Fine Tea

Backlogging. Sunday, late afternoon.

My husband and I enjoyed a pot of A&D’s EG and this Ceylon blended, one rounded teaspoon of each in a two cup pot.

2nd steep: 7 min.
An additional rounded half teaspoon fresh leaf of each tea was added.

Hi ya’ll. It’s not a comment contest, but it is possible free tea in the future. If you didn’t get a chance to plant a tea tree for Adagio’s Earth Day promotion, planted a different tea tree and want to try some of the assam black tea from India, or just want some free assam black tea, please adopt a branch of my tea tree here: http://www.adagio.com/trees/adopt.html?planter=482_24 (I didn’t know how to get to this page before since I don’t have Facebook or Twitter but I saw how someone else did it and figured it out.)

There ya go! ;-)

Thanks Tea-Guy! You got the first branch. I sent out a couple of emails and will post in my comments for awhile and hopefully, I can fill my tree up! =)

Consider me interested. :)

Do you know what kind of Assam it is?

chrine 2010-08-13 02:48:54 -0400

This is all the info I have:

India, Assam
India had been growing tea since the early days of the British Empire. Its Assam region produces a hearty Black tea reminiscent of malt.

It only wants your name, zip code, and email. Go ahead, you know you want to. You don’t have to do anything and if it pans out, it’s free tea. Plus my poor tree has mostly unadopted branches. =(

Aww, poor tree. :(
I’ll sign up for some in that case – I think I’m incapable of saying no to free tea. ;)

Thanks Jillian! Isn’t free tea a wonderful thing.

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.
