Exactly as stated
By Jeannie L
Haven’t tried all the flavors yet, but those I’ve had are very good. I like the way they steep fairly quickly. Nice selection of tea flavors, the fruit ones have a natural taste.
The box is nice, about what you’d expect in a tea box. Made of 1/4″ lath that is stained a dark brown. The stain chips easily, but then lath isn’t a hard wood. I knocked the whole box off the dining table and got a small crack in one corner of the lid, I expected much worse damage. If you’re buying to use the box for another purpose later, remember that it was only meant to hold tea.

A really swell deal. Tea plus a nice box!
By A
I bought this item because I was at a loss for an idea on a Mother’s Day gift to give my wife. I saw this item and its 1-star rating, and that piqued my curiosity. How can a purchase of tea bags be given only one star?
I received this just a few days before Mother’s Day and my wife talked me into giving it to her right away. My wife and I are quite pleased with both the nice, partitioned box (it is just like the picture and description I saw before ordering it) as well as the large assortment of teas.
In this particular case you are getting the following:
A handsome tea chest that is lined with red velvet.
120 bags of tea; 20 each of Orange Spice, Raspberry, Earl Grey, English Breakfast, Peach & Green Teas.
Each bag is individually wrapped in foil.
The whole thing cost less than $20!!!
Neadless to say, the five stars is partly for the great value we got in the box plus teas as well as to partly offset the ridiculous 1-star rating it had previously received.

NOT so fine tea
By A
Despite the upper crust British sounding name, Bentley’s fine teas are not so fine. The tea is barely more than colored water; we have tried lots of different types and brands of tea and this was the most disappointing. The presentation is nice to look at, but the tea is not so nice to drink.

Terrible
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
Blah, no flavor. Tea made in India. What little flavor there is, is
fake. very artificial. Thinking about it? Buy a box of Twinings and
you will thank me later.
Just heat the water. Skip the bags.

It’s a box. The box looks nice, but it’s not worth the purchase price. Don’t do it. Because the tea, you probably won’t use. It’s really, really weak-flavored. I oversteeped a pot, used three teabags instead of my usual two, and still could barely taste (even using my imagination a bit to boost it) the “blueberry.”
After trying three types of tea (Blueberry, Mango and one other flavor I couldn’t taste and can’t recall,) I just dumped the last pot, threw the bags away, and gave the box to my son, who looked at it kinda funny, and muttered something about warhammer figures or something.
Sigh.
Subpar Tea
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
This tea is fine, but in my opinion flavor is lacking and when present tastes rather artificial. Better off with 12 high quality tea bags.
Better than expected
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
After reading the reviews, both positive and negative, I decided to give this a shot. After all, the gold box price made it almost silly not to try.
Yes, the box is flimsy. While attractive, it is very easy to damage and not really suited for much of anything else, other than holding tea bags or small trinkets of some sort. But let’s be honest here; you really don’t buy a tea assortment for the box, do you?
The tea: yes, this is what you buy it for, and the flavors, at least to my pallet, are wonderful. I will not pretend to be some expert at tea, but I do know what I like, and I very much enjoy a number of the flavors. My wife is enjoying this collection even more than I am, so how could I possibly say anything wrong about it. I have not tried all the flavors yet, but between she and I we have, and not a one has been a dissapointment.
All in all, we have been very happy with this assortment. Due to the nature of the box, I probably would have given this 4.5 stars, but I will not mark it down to 4 as the tea quality deserves the benifit of the doubt. While maybe not for the tea “expert”, I think those looking for a nice blend with nice flavors will be very happy with this.
Great Gold Box Item
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This set was on a Gold Box sale and I purcahsed it for my wife. I don’t drink the stuff but she does and this set made her super happy. It came in a nice box with a lid so it looks neat and clean on the counter.
Can’t go wrong here.
Terrible Tea
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I’ve received a couple of gift boxes of Bentley’s tea and it is truly some of the nastiest tasting tea I’ve ever had.
A great value, a great gift
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I actually received a fancier version of this for Christmas last year (same tea, different box). I wouldn’t have thought it, but I absolutely loved this gift, I tried flavors that I probably wouldn’t have tried otherwise. I liked it so much that this year my mom is getting this set. A great value and a great gift!
Impressive Looking!

Very nice looking set. Great for gift giving. I bought 3 of these.
Nice Teas
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I purchased several of these during the holidays. 1 for me and several others as gifts. It was a hit with everyone. It comes packaged very well and for a good price. The teas are good and a good variety of teas. I love tea and only drink tea; so this is a large amount of tea for the money, the taste is good and I would recommend this product.

Nice tea set
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
The tea comes in a nice wooden box with a good selection. Not the most flavorful tea I have ever tasted but I would recommend it if you have subtle tastes.
Nice gift!!
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I purchased this box for my mother because she loves having tea with her friends. She loved it! the only reason why I don’t give it 5 stars is because I have not tried the tea… but I heard it is very good. The presentation is wonderful and it is ideal for entertaining.
Nice Deal for Mediocre Tea
. At that price I can’t complain. Presentation was nice. Tea is adequate, nothing to write home about. Yes, Twinnings or even Bigelow is better. Very flavored-Green-Tea oriented, and actually it only has 10 Earl Grey in there, not 20. So the selection is not really idea, when you consider how many interesting teas are in a Twinnings assortment (and EG is my favorite). Had I paid $36 I’d be giving it one star. Box is good, but not a neat hinged box like you get at a fancy restaurant. The wrappers are garish.

Got this on special for $10.30
I’ve lowered my rating because when I moved, I left the mostly full box behind.
Exceeded expectations
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Well i got this for my girlfriend as i got a good gold box deal on this product and she loves it. While we are both not tea connoisseurs we were both equally impressed with the vast variety of flavors and taste.
While this may not be a super nice polished tea box…it is sturdy enough and looks nice enough for the average drinker. At the price I paid I was not expecting anything more and the tea taste exceeded our expectations. So if you are just an average person looking for good variety of teas that taste good and are inexpensive then try these out.
Tea!
