Importers Of Fine Teas for Over a Century
One hundred and eight years ago, Boston businessman Mark T. Wendell
assumed ownership of his uncle’s business, a firm that imported luxury products
from abroad. With a degree from Harvard University just completed, Mr. Wendell
settled in the Beacon Hill section of Boston and set up offices on nearby State
Street. For many years he imported port, sherry, snuff, olive oil, coffee and rare
teas to sell to the upscale clientele of Boston, New York and Philadelphia. One of
his most popular items was a smoky China tea that was simply called “XXX”.
These three letters were a common symbol of excellence and high quality from
this era.
During the decades that followed, Mr. Wendell decided to change the focus of
his business and began importing only tea into his Boston waterfront offices. He
wanted his smoky tea to stand out from other Chinese teas, so he changed its
name to Hu-Kwa (who-kwaa), in honor of the Chinese merchant Houqua, with
whom his uncle had traded. Houqua was known for his honesty when dealing
with western merchants, and eventually goods bearing his stamp commanded
higher prices because their quality was guaranteed. By renaming his tea after
Houqua, he was telling his customers that he too was willing to guarantee the
integrity of his products, a philosophy that is still practiced today by selecting only
the finest teas available.
A century of Mark T. Wendell tea packaging.
Mark T. Wendell died in January of 1967 at the age of 85, and Mark T. Wendell
Tea Company’s current owner, Elliot H. Johnson, purchased this prestigious
Boston tea firm from Mr. Wendell’s successor in 1971. From an initial listing of
only 5 teas (with early tins shown above), Elliot and Hartley E. Johnson have
expanded to offer over 55 estate grown specialty teas, 10 signature tea blends, 6
herbal and fruit tisanes and 11 imported packaged brands. The company also carries a wide selection of tea pots and brewing accessories. Since 1971, the family’s
goal has been to carry on Mr. Wendell’s tradition in the tea importing industry.

An Introduction to Tea
All tea comes from the tropical plant known as Camellia sinensis. The tea plant
grows best in a warm climate with long sunlit days, cool nights and an abundance
of rainfall. Tea plants grow at altitudes ranging from sea level to 7,000 feet and
are indigenous to China, Tibet, and northern India, though they are cultivated in
many other countries across the globe, including Sri Lanka, Japan, Kenya, Turkey,
Indonesia, Vietnam, Argentina, Tanzania, Taiwan, Malawi, and Zimbabwe. The
most complex teas grow at higher altitudes and many bushes can be cultivated for
over 100 years. Tea bushes cover about six million acres of the earth and are harvested every week during the almost year-long growing season.
After each winter season, the first small leaves and buds of the tea bush are handplucked and harvested. Once exposed to air, the leaf will begin to wither. When
the picked leaf becomes pliable, it can then be turned into different types of tea.
A common misperception is that the various styles of tea are grown from different
types of plants. The fact is that all styles of tea come from the same Camellia
sinensis bush; however, the method in which they are processed varies, yielding the
main classifications and varieties of tea. White, Green and Yellow tea are produced
by steaming the leaves after plucking, thus eliminating the fermentation process.
Oolong tea is allowed to oxidize for a short period of time, and Black tea is allowed
to react with the air and oxidize, turning the green leaves black. Pu-erh tea is a style
of black tea that has been piled and allowed to ferment considerably.
Tea Yield
New loose tea drinkers often wonder how many cups of brewed tea will be produced from various sized tins. Here is a good guideline to follow:
1 lb of loose tea will make approximately 160 cups
8 oz of loose tea will make approximately 80 cups
4 oz of loose tea will make approximately 40 cups
(All based upon one rounded teaspoon used for each cup.)
Please note that these are approximate readings. Some people often use more
or less than a teaspoon of tea per cup, depending upon personal preference.
MTW Packaging Options
All Mark T. Wendell brand loose teas are packed in elegant one pound, half
pound and quarter pound tea tins. The one pound and half pound sizes are also
available in lined paper refill bags. This option is only available in those two sizes.
Some of our more popular teas are also available in tagless tea bags.

Hu-Kwa® Tea
Hu-Kwa® Tea We have had the pleasure of supplying discriminating tea drinkers
with this delicately smoked Lapsang Souchong tea since 1904. This long leaf tea from
the island of Formosa has long been a tea connoisseur’s favorite. Hu-Kwa gains its distinctive flavor and smoky tang from the pine fires over which it is dried. Distinctive
with its smoky flavor and aroma, it produces a deep red liquor and mellow cup when
brewed. Hu-Kwa tea is recognized around the world as the benchmark for Formosan
Lapsang Souchong tea and has been available exclusively from the Mark T. Wendell Tea
Company for almost a century. In order to enjoy the unique flavor of Hu-Kwa we recommend allowing the tea to draw for five and one-half minutes. Stir, and let the tea
settle for about one-half minute. Then decant. Hu-Kwa Tea is best appreciated when
drunk clear. Milk or too much sugar compromises its delicate flavor. A little cream
goes well but sugar should be used sparingly.

HOUQUA
The famous Hong Merchant of Canton, China, who became
a symbol of integrity and quality trade between America
and the Orient in the 19th century. Mark T. Wendell’s uncle,
Richard Devens, traded goods with Houqua during this era
and, years later, named his signature tea after him out of
respect for his cultural significance. For more information

Black Teas
To produce black tea, the tea leaves are plucked by hand and then left out in the
sun until they are pliable enough to be rolled without the leaf splitting. The leaves
are then put into a mechanical tumbler and rolled. This process causes the leaves’
juices to react with the air and then oxidize. The green leaves turn black and are
then fired in huge drying ovens to produce the final product. Black tea is the most
common tea consumed in this country and is cultivated in China, India, Sri
Lanka, Africa and Indonesia. To add a varying taste to black teas, they are oftentimes flavored with bits of fruit or scented with oils and flower petals. The drying
process naturally leaves black tea with more caffeine than other types of tea.
Assam
Highly regarded by connoisseurs, this tea is produced in the largest growing
region in Northern India, Assam. Its pungent liquor brews to a dark reddish color, leaving
a full-bodied cup with a malty taste that is truly unique. Assam takes well to milk and sugar.

tea plant, First Flush Darjeeling tea is a seasonal offering that is applauded by tea enthusiasts around the world. We sampled a few of Darjeeling’s first pickings of 2011 and found an

Pu-erh teas are created by hand piling Yunnan black tea for lengthy periods,

growing areas, from tea bushes as tall as trees. Pu-erh has long been valued for its
medicinal benefits, believed to aid in digestion and the reduction of cholesterol.

Oolong Teas
Oolong tea is referred to as a “semi-fermented” tea and is principally manufactured in China and Taiwan (Formosa). After plucking, this type of tea is allowed
to wilt in direct sunlight and is then shaken in bamboo baskets to lightly bruise
the leaf. The chemicals in the leaf react with the air, producing a reddish leaf
color. After a desired amount of time, the leaf is fired and the fermentation
process is halted. These steps create the unique appearance and flavor of the two
different types of oolong teas. China oolong teas are allowed to ferment for a
shorter period of time and are therefore lighter in taste and appearance than the
oolong teas produced in Formosan estates.
China Sechung Oolong
This semi-fermented tea has large curled leaves that are
greenish-black in color. Grown in the Southern Mountains of China’s Fujian Province, this
type of Oolong is often referred to as a Min-Nan Oolong. This tea has a delicate flavor with
a pleasing taste and lively bouquet.
one pound $28.50
½ pound $17.50 ¼ pound $10.25*

Scented Teas
Scented teas are infused with varying aromas and natural flavorings to make
then stand out in each cup. We offer several scented teas, including several styles
of Jasmine teas and the ever popular Earl Grey tea blend. A majority of Jasmine
teas are made with a pouchong, or semi-fermented tea base. Pouchong tea has
reacted with the air for a shorter period of time than black teas and a longer period of time than green teas, creating a varying leaf style and taste from other tea
categories. This type of tea is gently touched with Jasmine blossoms picked at the
peak of their bloom. Rose Congou is a delicately scented blend of large leaf black
teas and fragrant rose petals. Pearl Jasmine is a unique green tea that is hand
rolled into tiny compressed balls.
China Jasmine
Our standard Jasmine is a lightly fermented pouchong tea, gently
touched with freshly picked jasmine blossoms from the Huang Mountain area of China.
After repeated exposure to the tea leaves, the flowers are removed, leaving the exotically
fragrant aroma behind. China Jasmine makes a sweet and easy drinking brew.
one pound $24.50
½ pound $15.75
¼ pound $9.50*
Downy Pearl Jasmine A rare tea produced by hand rolling green tea buds and silvery tips into a tight, pearl shape. The tea is then scented repeatedly with jasmine, creating a wonderfully fragrant bouquet. Upon brewing, each “pearl” unfurls to show the

Green Teas
To produce green tea, the fresh tea leaves are carefully placed on large bamboo
trays and allowed to dry in the sunlight. The leaves are then placed into small hot
roasting pans and quickly moved about. They are continuously rolled into balls
and then re-roasted for several hours at a time. This process stops the chemical
changes from occurring in the leaf by never allowing it to wither and ferment. By
eliminating the fermentation process, the dry leaf retains its green color, natural
goodness and original beauty. Most of the green teas produced come from various Chinese and Japanese tea estates. Light in color and flavor, green tea is
loaded with health benefiting antioxidants.
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.
one pound $39.75
½ pound $24.50 ¼ pound $12.75*

Yellow Tea
Yellow teas are unique to the high mountain regions of the Chinese provinces of
Anhui, Hunan and Sichuan. Yellow tea varieties are manufactured by plucking
the juiciest and most tender tea bud sets of the tea bush, basket-firing or pan-firing the leaves, smothering the leaves, and then finish-firing the batches. It is the
smothering step that is unique to this tea, allowing a special flavor to develop.
During the “sealing yellow” step, the lightly steamed leaf is removed from the heat
source and covered with a cloth, encouraging the leaf to reabsorb its own aromatics and add a sweetness and fragrance to the leaf. An experienced tea master creates this unique hand crafted tea by constantly checking the tea’s smell,
look and feel until it is just right. This craft is often passed down from generation
to generation. Unfortunately, this type of tradition has been lost over the years,
leading to lower product yield, essentially making this type of tea truly rare.
New! Huo Shan Yellow Sprouting This rare yellow tea from China’s Anhui
province is comprised of beautiful hand-crafted leaves and downy silver buds. This tea is
notable for its rich, full and smooth tasting floral infusion. When brewed our Yellow
Sprouting produces a naturally sweet and refreshingly clean tasting cup of tea.
6 ounces $60.00
2 ounces $21.00
White Teas
White tea is the rarest and most delicate type of tea. It is plucked by hand within
two days between the time the first buds become fully mature and the time in
which the leaf unfurls. The leaves are then allowed to wither, allowing the natural moisture to evaporate before being dried. White tea contains the same antioxidants found in green tea, but since it undergoes less processing, white tea is
believed to be more beneficial to your health than other types of tea.
China Mutan White
Our Mutan White Tea is an unusual tea, comprised of silvery,
downy buds and green leaves. The buds are hand picked before the leaf opens, then gently steamed. The brew is delicate and mellow, with a light pale color. Due to the larger leaf
size, more leaves per cup are needed when brewing.
6 ounces $16.95
3 ounces $11.75 1½ ounces $7.95*
Organic Flowery Silver Needle White
This organic white tea is comprised
of needle shaped tea buds with silvery white down on each grey-green leaf. Grown in the
northernmost part of the Fujian province, China, this rare type of white tea has a mildly
sweet flavor with aromatic notes of toasted chestnuts. It produces a light and refreshing
cup when brewed.

Decorative Tea Brick
Decorative Chinese Yunnan Tea Brick
This decorative brick of compressed
Yunnan black tea makes a great display and conversation piece. This was the most commonly produced and used form of tea in ancient China prior to the Ming Dynasty. This type
of tea was compressed into brick form for ease of travel across the land. The tea was broken off the brick and then added to boiling water to brew. Dimensions are approximately
9 ½ inches tall by 7 ¼ inches wide.

How to Brew Iced Tea
To make a great tasting glass of iced tea, brew one quart of cold, filtered water for
every 6 tea bags or 6 teaspoons of loose tea used. Remember that you make iced tea
stronger than regular hot tea to compensate for ice dilution.
Once the water has come to a boil, pour it
directly over the tea and steep for 3 minutes (green teas) or 5 minutes (black teas).
Remove the teabags or strain the loose tea
out of the teapot. Let the brewed tea cool
down to room temperature before adding
ice. Chilling the tea after it has cooled
helps keep the brew’s appearance clear.
If your chilled glass of iced tea clouds, try
slicing some citrus fruit and adding it to
the glass. These fruits are high in acid
and will help balance the tea’s PH level,
thus making it visually clearer. If tea
clouds immediately following brewing,
lower the water’s brewing temperature.
For an easy, alternate way to brew your
iced tea, sea our selection of Iced Tea
Makers on Page 36.

The Tea with a History – Centuries ago, the taxation of tea in the American Colonies was
one of the catalysts that helped spark the American War of Independence. On December
16, 1773 a group of Colonial patriots disguised as Mohawk Indians boarded three English
ships in Boston Harbor and threw the tea onboard into the water, in protest against the
duty imposed on tea by the Government of King George III.
When the first Boston Tea Party was over, hundreds of tea chests were left floating in the
frigid harbor waters. In the months that followed, many other seaports staged their own
“Tea Parties”. On March 7, 1774, at a second Boston Tea Party, 16 chests of fine tea from
tea merchants, Davison Newman & Co. Ltd. of London, were also dumped in the harbor
in defiance of British policies. Still in operation today, Britain’s oldest tea merchant has
developed this famous tea blend and offers it exclusively through the Mark T. Wendell Tea
Company.

How to Brew a Pot of Tea
Here are a few steadfast guidelines to follow
in order to achieve the perfect cup:
Fill a kettle with freshly drawn cold water. We recommend using filtered water
because the quality of your water will directly affect the taste of your tea. Many
towns have water that has too much chlorine and other minerals. When the water
is near the boiling point, pour a little into the teapot, swirl around, and tip away.
This leaves a hot, clean teapot.
Measure the tea carefully into your teapot, allowing one rounded teaspoon or
one tea bag for each cup required. Many people prefer to use a tea ball or filter
to keep the leaves from spreading throughout the teapot. Bring the water to a
rolling boil. Do not allow it to boil too long, as it will boil away some of the flavorreleasing oxygen and result in a flat cup of tea. Please note that green, yellow
and white tea should be made with water that has boiled and allowed to
cool for just under a minute.
Pour the water onto the leaves or tea bags. This saturates the tea allowing the
flavor to release naturally. Do not pour the water and then add the tea, this will
only result in a poor cup of tea. The differing types of tea should be allowed to
infuse for the required number of minutes at the appropriate water temperatures
listed below:
Pu-erh Tea
Steep for 2-5 minutes in 200-212° F (93-100° C) water
Black Tea
Steep for 4-5 minutes in 190-200° F (88-93° C) water
Flavored Black Tea
Steep for 4-5 minutes in 190-200° F (88-93° C) water
Darjeeling Tea
Steep for 3 minutes in 180-200° F (82-93° C) water
Oolong Tea
Steep for 3-4 minutes in 180-200° F (82-93° C) water
Green Tea
Steep for 2-3 minutes in 170-180° F (77-82° C) water
Yellow Tea
Steep for 1½-2 minutes in 170-180° F (77-82° C) water
White Tea
Steep for 1½-2 minutes in 160-170° F (71-77° C) water
Herbal Tisanes
Steep for 5 minutes in 190-200° F (88-93° C) water
Fruit Tisane Blends Steep for 5-7 minutes in 190-200° F (88-93° C) water
If you prefer your tea stronger or weaker, never vary the brewing time; simply
increase or decrease the amount of tea. If allowed to sit in the teapot, the tea can
over-brew and turn bitter. Some green, oolong and white teas are good for multiple infusions – just add new hot water to the pot and increase the steeping time
slightly. Repeat until the flavor starts to fade.
The Healthy Benefits of Tea
You have probably known all along that tea is good for you, but you may be surprised
to learn that there is a growing body of scientific evidence to support your feelings.
While these findings are simply correlations and are not yet considered scientific fact,
they do provide a wealth of information to support the healthy aspects of tea. According
to Wikipedia, the potential effects of tea on health have been touted for infusions made
from the plant Camellia sinensis for more than 4700 years. A wide range of potential
benefits include: Properties which combat various types of cancer, reduction in likelihood of stroke, increases in metabolic rates, possible anti-diabetes effects, significant
stress level reductions, boosts in immune system functions, decreases in chances of cognitive impairment, complementary effects on the inhibition of HIV virus binding, positive effects on bacterial and fungal infections, and much more. Visit our website and

Yixing Teapots

Yixing Teapots: Yixing (pronounced “ee-shing”) Teapots first appeared in the Yixing
region of China, during the Sung Dynasty (960-1279 ME). Since then, they have
become the preferred tea brewing vessel of the Chinese and of tea drinkers worldwide. Yixing teapots are intended for individual use, producing 1-2 servings of tea.
The purple clay (Zisha) from which these teapots are made can only be found in this
region of China. The purple clay has unique properties, ideal for brewing tea. The
unique color of the clay, sometimes augmented by pigments, are never covered by
glazes on the Yixing teapot. Even the inside is left uncoated. The porous nature of the
clay absorbs the flavor, smell, and color of the tea that is brewed in it. From repeated
use, Yixing teapots develop a seasoning, making the tea brewed from a well used
teapot a treat.
To clean this type of teapot, simply empty the leaves and rinse the teapot with hot
water. Never use soaps or cleansers, as they may be absorbed by the porous clay and
interfere with the taste of your tea.
All of our Yixing teapots include an information card packed inside of the box and are
suitable for gift giving.

TEA
“Set a teapot over a slow fire; fill it with cold water; boil
it long enough to turn a lobster red; pour it on the
quantity of tea in a porcelain vessel; allow it to remain
on the leaves until the vapor evaporates; then sip it
slowly and all your sorrows will follow the vapor.”
