From two guys obsessed with tea, Andrews & Dunham Damn Fine Tea is (not surprisingly) darn good stuff.
We first noticed the new brand's screenprinted packaging by the Minneapolis, MN-based Aesthetic Apparatus, wrapping each tin in fresh graphics. Happily, the Damn Fine Tea itself lives up to its cute exterior.
Andrews & Dunham's blends are as straightforward and honest as their attitude about them, with the leaves picked mostly by hand and processed using traditional methods. The robust Ceylon is full of flavor, the perfect tea to kick-start your morning, while the organic Dragonwell will definitely help fend off an encroaching cold with its green tea powers.
Andrews & Dunham Damn Fine Teas are available online. Each tin is $9 or you can purchase Series I, which includes all three varieties, for $25.
