Bentley's Royal Classic Open Top Wooden Tea Chest, 10 Flavor, 120 Tea Bag Set

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!

This has to be some of the worst tasting tea I have ever tried. It leaves my tongue with a somewhat raw feeling. The flavors must be all artificial and not natural,and there really isn't much of any flavor that can be tasted. If someone handed you a cup of tea it would be pretty hard to tell the flavor. Don't waste your money on this. You can get much better tea at Walmart that cost a lot less. The box the tea comes in is very cheap, and relly isn't worth anything.

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.

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.

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.
