50pk Bentley’s White Tea bags for $3 (YMMV at B&M)

At Ross brick and mortar stores, you may be able to find 50pks of Bentley’s White Tea for just $3. I spotted a “White Tea – Earl White” and a “White Tea – Ginger Peach”. Inside, you will find a sealed tinfoil pouch, with fifty tea bags inside. Each tea bag has a string and tag. The tag sadly has a staple on it. The tea bags are not individually wrapped. And after you drink it all, you get to keep the tin they came in. You can see pictures of the packaging at amazon.com.

8.82oz ESP Emporium China Green Rose Tea Leaves for $3

If you like to try teas from different companies, and be at the forefront of exploration (translation: it has no customer reviews), for just $3, you can get this 8.82oz of ESP Emporium China Green Rose Congu Tea. These are tea leaves, not tea bags! A picture of the tea leaves and the outer package is included at the Amazon product page. It has just two ingredients, tea leaves and rose petals per the picture of the package over there. There is a limit of ten per customer.

However, it’s not all rosy (pardon the pun), because of the low price, this is part of the Amazon Add-On program, which means, you need to place an order of $25 or more before Amazon allows you to buy it. This restriction applies to Prime members as well. You could get to $25+ with 8 of these, but given the lack of reviews, it is perhaps a better idea to simply add one of these to an order of $25 or more. If you like it, then you can stock up.
