Thanks to LauraR for this one!

I didn’t really get any noticeable citrus flavours from this cup and I didn’t really get much cranberry either. It smelled quite promising, but it was a bit of a flop in the taste department. I was expecting bold citrus and cranberry flavours but I could only really taste the rooibos.

hard to believe it’s bagged. A perfectly pomegranate flavored white tea in a bag. Fruity-Juicy and delicious! A nice surprise!

drank Earl Grey by Bentley's
4843 tasting notes

This is a good Earl Grey. Not the best I’ve had, but certainly no where near the worst. It has a pleasant black tea base, and the bergamot is strong and flavorful. The aroma is strong in the dry leaf, but it is considerably softer in the brewed tea, although it still smells delicious.

A good, basic Earl Grey. One of the better bagged Earl Grey teas that I’ve encountered.

drank Raspberry Green Tea by Bentley's

A nice, crisp green tea with a sweet raspberry taste – tart in the finish. (But not too tart!)

Weak, weak tea. It made me sad how little spice taste is in this tea, and I happen to adore spiced teas, especially in winter. I smell cinnamon notes, but I really only taste black tea. Did someone forget to put spices in the bag?

Alas, you get what you pay for I guess. Like Teacast, this came in a package of Bentley teas that I bought at an embarrassingly low price (and there are a number of $1-$2 boxes of teas out there that I DO like). Maybe I’ll have better luck with the next flavor.

This is a bagged tea offering. Internal expection of the tea bag shows no pieces of hibiscus, cranberry or orange peel. There is also a medicinal taste to this one that stayed with me throughout the cup. I feel that cranberry and blood orange are rather dominant flavors and expect them to get in my face. This mostly tasted like rooibos with cranberry and a citrusy finish. I wanted some tart. Not for me.

drank Blackberry by Bentley's

This has a pleasant blackberry scent and delicious blackberry taste. A nice balance between tea and berry. It’s sweet with a little bit of tart. Not a lot of astringency with this cup.

A very pleasant tea.

I am noticing with this tea that the astringency develops as you continue to sip… starting out as barely there, and now as I am at mid-cup, the astringency is still mild but stronger than it was at the start.

drank Oriental Treasure by Bentley's

This is very good. I like the nutty flavor of it. It is a light nutty taste that goes along with the light-bodied liquor, and it is a nice complement to the vegetative tone in the background. I’m enjoying this very much.

A bag of this was thrown into the sampler box TeaEqualsBliss sent me. Decided to have this to fill my fruity green tea craving. I can definitely taste the raspberry in this. Not a whole lot to this green tea base, but it’s pretty decent. I like the raspberry in this. Should have mixed this with the watermelon raspberry green for an extra raspberry boost!

drank Orange Spice by Bentley's

This is just nasty harsh. It irritated my throat. The taste was heavily cinnamon flavored. I detected no orange and little tea taste. I removed this from the chest so as not to ever accidentally drink this again!

This came in a nice package of 6 teabags, with six clover honey spoons. It had not much taste nor much smell, even with the honey spoon stirred well in.

drank Blackberry by Bentley's
6768 tasting notes

This smells a little like Blackberry but a little like something else I can’t seem to identify. It must subconsciously remind me of something, I guess. But…it DOES taste like Blackberries! So that’s a plus!

This is a decent bagged black flavored tea. A nice medium strength. Nice flavoring! YUM!

This is a nice ‘middle of the road’ cup! The name says it all! I can taste the Passion Fruit, the Papaya, and the Green Tea. It’s a medium brown with greenish-orange tint to it and it smells much like it tastes!
