I’m not sure what kind of green tea this is. The flavor is mild and woody. The smell is floral. I prefer Japanese teas like matcha, genmaicha, sencha, and hojicha. I believe this one is Chinese, but it does not taste like other Chinese teas I have had before (at Chinese restaurants mostly). Not bad, but not something I think I will crave.
Smelled good out of the box. Once brewed, the flavor was very lacking. In reading the other reviews, I wonder if I got a bad batch or something. I will try another cup, but I don’t have high expectations.
Preparation
Nice peach flavor. I am not getting the ginger kick that I would like.
I have varied the water temp in an attempt to find the ginger, but alas I fear that Ginger has left the teabag.
Overall a nice peach flavored tea in the convenience of a tea bag. No astringency which is my number one criteria for a tea.
Preparation
I like this one a lot! It is a surprise that this much flavor comes from a tea bag. The pomegranate tastes true (not artificial), and sweet-tart, but the delicate flavor of the white tea also shines through.
Nice!
This is a pleasant black tea with a strong ginger-y presence. The first sip was rather surprising – the ginger hits the back of the palate with a wallop! It’s a good thing I like ginger!
After that first sip though, I find that the ginger is not overwhelming, just strong, but it evens out and softens significantly as I continue to sip. The black tea is solid and there is a very lovely sweetness from the peach that comes through in the aftertaste.
Yummy!

Preparation
The dry tea smells of dried apricots, a very sweet fruity smell.
The aroma of the tea is very pleasing, a strong and fragrant fruit smell, almost creamy, like a peach pie.
The tea itself is slightly bitter, and the fruit flavor is strong but not overpowering.
A little sugar cuts the bitterness and one notices the fruit more.
It is also nice with a little cream, and would make a fine iced tea!
Preparation
ehhhh, ah…ok…generic in every way. Not bad tasting just not good per say…
Thanks to FrenchVanilla for this sample!
I didn’t think this was gross (like the other 2 tasting notes placed for this tea) but I didn’t find it wonderful either. The black tea taste was VERY faint. There wasn’t any spice flavor and I could taste a little of the orange flavoring but not really enough to say so.
I’m grateful I got to try but I would never buy.
It isn’t often that I come across a Jasmine tea that I really dislike, but this is one of those times. This just isn’t working for me at all. The jasmine is overwhelmingly strong to the point of smelling and tasting like soap. I don’t think I can finish the cup.
Preparation
That’s so sad to hear, since Jasmine Green Tea is one of the best things on the planet. But I trust your judgment…and at least you could follow with something yummy. Thank you for sharing and helping us avoid the same fate!
Yes, thanks very much for sharing this. I adore jasmine green, but I’m damn picky about it, and only getting pickier. Now I can avoid wasting precious tea money. Soap belong in the bath, not the teapot.
I was actually quite surprised, because every other tea that I’ve tried from Bentley’s thus far has been pretty good. But this one just was not.
Thanks LauraR!
Backlogging again!
My last bag. The taste was mostly rooibos with hints of orange. The cranberry isn’t really there, except in the aftertaste, so not much different from last time. I let this cool quite a bit as I forgot about it mid-cup, but when i came back to it, it wasn’t that bad. The orange taste was more pronounced, as was the cranbery, but the cranberry stayed in the aftertaste.
