  Our Guarantee & Return Policy
  The Mark T. Wendell Tea Company has been importing and packaging fine teas for 120 years. Our teas are of the highest quality and are guaranteed fresh and flavorful. The bulk teas that we pack under our MTW label are shipped to us in foil sealed, air-tight boxes and bags. When the tea chests arrive at our warehouse, we inspect the tea leaves to confirm that they are of the highest quality.
  We store our loose teas in air-tight, food safe drums. This allows us to ensure a superior product and to guarantee freshness. We do not ship out of date packaged goods (imported products that we do not pack on site).
  If a customer is unhappy with a purchase or feels that an item was received in error, we ask the customer to contact us immediately. We accept returns during these circumstances and extend full refunds (including any return shipping cost). Any claims for shortages, damages or shipping errors must be reported within 7 days of receipt. We take pride in our products and want our customers to be completely satisfied with their online tea purchases.
