I’m always happy to see new teas from Mark T. Wendell. Hartley is one-cool-dude!

This smells like a greener-type-black/darjeeling with crispy notes!

The taste is a little like cracked pepper and green veggies with hints of fruitiness trying to hide underneath along with a few floral notes as it tries to cool at room temp for 2 or 3 minutes.

This is a really good Darjeeling. The end-sip hints at toast – I really like that!

Cracked Pepper? Green Veggies? Yum-o!!!

Bliss, I really enjoy Darjeelings…… ALOT!! Most of my reviews for teas that I like are as descriptive as need be when describing a tea. I try to do that, and inject something interesting, so they are not boring for me or you or any other steepie who cares to read them. With that said, they do tend to be long sometimes! :))

I like your reviews, but for some reason I don’t always see them in my notices. Yours are interesting and short compared to mine. I just think it’s interesting and fun to see how reviews can be so different, entertaining, & fun here on Steepster.

My comment is starting to read like one of my lengthy reviews. :))

Thanks Scott! Some are long – some are short – I try to mix it up quite a bit. A few of mine today will be pretty long winded tho! I think I already did 2 or 3 that way :) I have LOTS more to write and review today…so…time will tell with those :)

Thanks for the kind words! Your reviews are interesting and awesome as well!

Ahh. Sharp attack with intense fruit overtones. Evolves into a medium bodied, full mouthfeel. Leaves sugary astringency and a long finish. Smells floral. Exquisite.
