About the Brand
Bentley's Tea are distributed by the Boston Tea Company, founded in 1949. Boston Tea Company was the first to market flavored teas with the introduction of its Boston's Mint-in-Tea, a delightful blend of orange pekoe tea and Kentucky spearmint. In 1960, the company introduced and was granted a trademark for its "Boston Tea Party" blend, which re-created a popular blend that dates back to the colonists in the 1770s. This product is a blend of fine black teas blended with orange peels and cloves--also known as orange spice tea. This product was a favorite of the first lady, Jacqueline Kennedy, who served it frequently to White House guests.

During the 1970s, when specialty teas became increasingly popular, Boston Tea Company broadened their line considerably. Today, they are the industry leader in marketing flavored and gourmet teas in decorative and reusable canisters. Boston Tea Company is based in Hackensack, New Jersey.

Customer Reviews

Teas
I like this tea better than any I can find at the grocery store. It has a fine clear taste and makes good hot tea or iced tea. It is an excellent product.

Nice box, good Tea.
I was actually surprised by how nice the box looks. It's a nice wood grain with rich color. The tea is good stuff, several packs of each flavor, no staples on the bags for people who like to toss them in the microwave.

The box is sturdy but light. It has wood dividers, not CARDBOARD like some others. Everything inside is covered in felt. The whole thing is shrink-wrapped with the lid on the bottom of the box just like in the picture of the product.

This would make an excellent gift for any tea drinker, or just buy it for you if you like tea and want a nice place to keep the bags.

Great gift!
If you know anyone that is hard to buy for but enjoys variety in tea - this was a great gift at a reasonable cost and great presentation.
