Our Newest China Teas



Over the past few months we had the opportunity to obtain several varying samples of China teas from our primary suppliers.  We were looking to expand upon our green and pu-erh tea selections this fall, just in time to be featured in our latest catalog.  As we all know, prices can fluctuate amongst various teas.  Those that have greater production volume tend to be priced less than those that are cultivated in a small region or estate.  My supplier always sends me samples with a simple code on them, omitting the price on the sample envelope.  He asks me to taste it blindly, with no thought to the driving cost.  I sometimes find that the teas that I like the most, actually do not cost that much and are easily obtainable.  This is a good thing! It is tough as a supplier to get used to being able to easily obtain a certain style of tea and then loose the availability at a moments notice.  We hate to disappoint our customers, so I try to find products that will be of the highest quality, taste great, appeal visually and be easily obtainable.  I believe we may have gotten these all in check with our latest offerings! 

Now featured on the new product offerings section of the Mark T. Wendell Tea Company's website, these three items are the results of our repetitive cupping and sipping!  Our newest teas include:

Cloud & Mist Green  This tea is a unique find, deriving its name from the high altitude growing areas of the Wu Lu Mountains in the Jiangxi province of China.  Grown in the gentle mountain clouds and prevalent mist, this tea consists of single bud and leaf sets that unfurl magnificently when brewed.  The brewed liquor has a herbaceous aroma, a smooth and sweet taste and appears a modest yellow-green in the cup.

Organic Bold Leaf Pu-erh   Our newest offering is an organically grown, full leaf version of Pu-erh. They dry leaf of this selection is dark and rich in appearance. Upon brewing, you will notice the unique damp, earthy scent characteristic of a fine black Pu-erh. Our Organic Bold Leaf Pu-erh has a smooth, deeply fermented flavor that puts this selection in a class all its own.

Triple Cup Green  This rich, green tea is grown in the mountains of China’s famous Zhejiang tea region.  The small and tender curled leaves brew a golden colored cup that is full of classic green tea flavor.  Due to its unique character, our Triple Cup green tea can be infused several times before the flavor fades.

Make sure to add some of these great new teas to your next order.  They will not disappoint!
