While the month of August is traditionally a slow month, we are seizing this as an opportunity to plan for the rest of the year. We are excited about several new product introductions and promotions that are currently in the works. We think you will also be excited about some of the things that lie ahead in the months to come:
- The Grace Tea Company will be introducing two new teas to the Grace Rare Tea range, a special grade Lung Ching Green (or Dragonwell as it is more commonly known) and the South African herb, Rooibos. Both will make fine additions to this award winning range of traditional estate grown teas and blends. Both of these new teas will be available in late-October.
- Grace will also have a sale on their Darjeeling Superb 6000, Gunpowder Pearl Delicate Pinhead Green, Mountain Grown Fancy Ceylon and Pure Assam Irish Breakfast for the entire month of September.
- In October, will be adding a new organically grown herbal product under the Mark T. Wendell Tea Company's selection of imported tea brands. Grown in the Amazon, Guayusa (why-you-suh) is a unique herbal tea that has a distinct tradition in the lives of those in this area of the world. For thousands of years communities throughout the Amazon have cultivated the guayusa holly leaf for a natural, delicious source of energy and nutrition. Treasured for its unique balance of caffeine, antioxidants, vitamins and amino acids, guayusa continues to be the center of morning rituals throughout the Amazon. We will be offering 4 distinct flavors in pyramid tea bags in our upcoming catalog, Guayusa Original, Amazon Spice, Rainforest Mint and Tropical Ginger Citrus. We sampled this at the New York Fancy Food show, and we are confident you will be pleased.
- We are always looking for fabulous new accessories to help our customers prepare their favorite tea. We have just selected a new iced tea maker to add to Mark T. Wendell's range of brewing accessories this October. The Steep & Chill Iced Tea Maker is a new product that contains a removable, freezable center core. Once your iced tea has been brewed and chilled, this core can be inserted to keep the tea cool outside of the refrigerator.
Make sure to keep an eye out for these items as they become available for purchase over the next few months. They will be prominently featured on our websites and in our upcoming catalogs. If you are not already on our catalog and promotion lists, please click the links below to visit the respective sign up pages.
As you may know, Elliot and Hartley Johnson own and operate both Mark T. Wendell Tea Company and Grace Tea Company, two unique tea companies. Both companies focus on providing the finest tea leaves to connoisseurs around the globe, though they carry distinctively varied product lines With this in mind, we modified our blog based on feedback from our many customers who were interested in information and promotions from the full-range of products. I hope you find this helpful, and perhaps you may even find a new favorite!

I have a wooden Mark T Wendell Hu-kwa tea box, It is lacquered, with charming vignettes on all four sides. The paper label on the bottom is intact, though a bit stained and has an elaborate crest with a two-headed bird and an H. WOuld you have an approximate age for this container. I inherited it from an aunt who was fascinated with boxes
Thank you for the note. Judging by your descriptions, I think the tea box is most likely from the 1920's to 1930's. We have a few in our collection, but they are unusual to find! It seems that Mr. Wendell switched to using tin canisters in the 1940's, so any wooden ones would have been prior to this time. I imagine the cost was much less given the elaborate nature of these tea boxes.
