brewing-information  Brewing Information

Brewing Tips: Our Scottish Breakfast tea blend should be made with cold, filtered water that has been brought to a rolling boil (205-212° F). Using one rounded teaspoon of loose tea or one teabag for each cup required, pour the boiling water over the tea leaves. Scottish Breakfast tea should be steeped for 4-5 minutes. Once the ideal brewing time has been reached, the leaves should be removed to prevent further steeping. Decant and enjoy this Scottish black tea!

    I have been a steady customer of Mark T. Wendell's for at least 35 years, starting when I was 41 years old. I have seldom had a breakfast that did not include a cup or two of Russian Caravan Tea! It was always the BEST, although I tried many Wendell's black teas along the way. A couple of orders back, I included Scottish Breakfast Tea in an order, This also included a re-order of Russian Caravan Tea among others. This time around , I needed to re-order both Russian Caravan and Scottish Breakfast. And I used up the Scottish tea first!! My goodness! And I craved both of them! Russian Caravan has a very nice and strong aroma before it is brewed up. Scottish Breakfast has a very attractive aroma also, very much like the Russian tea. I would say that the Scottish tea is a bit "smoother on the tongue" than the Russian. Writing this little summary is causing my mouth to water! Best to you all as I drink my Evening Wendell'sTea.

    Aye, It's a Hearty Brew

    Scottish Breakfast Tea is less astringent than Irish Breakfast Tea, and fuller and more hearty than English Breakfast Tea. I think its malty edge works best with my 2% milk, and it holds its own even to after-dinner. I would give it 5 stars if some Hu-Kwa were slipped into the mix.

    Best Tea

    We have been ordering tea from Mark T. Wendell Tea Co. for at least 10 years I think. Our favorite is the Scottish Breakfast tea. Strong enough for us but not to strong, wonderful flavor. We love all the tea we buy here and never order from any other company. So happy to have you as our tea supplier. Non coffee drinkers here but love our tea and consider it the best tea.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How long does it take for my order to ship?

    We strive to ship orders within 2-3 days of receipt. However, due to the handcrafted nature of our products, combined with inventory limitations, some orders may take longer to ship. If there is a significant delay in shipping your order, we will contact you directly with details.

    Are your teas cultivated naturally? Are they Organic?

    All our teas are sourced from tea estates, suppliers and importers that we have personally worked with for decades and many for generations! We only purchase teas that have been cultivated naturally, devoid of pesticides and growth agents.

    Teas that have the term “Organic” in the products name have gone through additional certification by the country or origin and USFDA. Even though all our products are natural, we are unable to list them as Organic unless they have gone through these steps. Sometimes, this certification can be costly and time consuming for growers. Each country has different regulations, so many sell the teas to us without this extra labeling.

    How long does tea stay fresh?

    If sealed properly and stored away from extreme hot/cold temps and moisture, tea will stay as flavorful as the day you bought it, even after 18 months.

    How long should I brew my tea?

    Tea brewing times and water temperature can vary between tea varieties. Please consult this link to find the best method for your tea!
