Comments about Teavana Earl Grey White Tea:

I simply love this tea! I prefer to drink it on weekend afternoons while reading, watching a movie or spending time catching up on my e-mails. I have it on its own or I blend with Honeybush vanilla, adding just a touch of german rock sugar - perfect combo!

Comments about Teavana Earl Grey White Tea:

I am a regular early grey drinker. I have tried many types of teas from rooibos too white to green. At this point I just drink what I enjoy, Earl Grey. White Earl Grey is an Oxymoron. If you're an Earl Grey drinker looking for a low-caf variant, don't dissappoint yourself with this one. Try the Frutto Bianco Pearls White which at least has some flavor.

Comments about Teavana Earl Grey White Tea:

This would be fine for lovers of Earl Grey, but the experience was a bit overpowering for me, kind of in-your-face.

Comments about Teavana Earl Grey White Tea:

I've been trying to cut down on my caffeine intake. This earl grey is pleasing to the senses. I love the bergamot flavors shining through in this white tea. Will most likely repurchase again soon!

Comments about Teavana Earl Grey White Tea:

I love the smell of Earl Grey, but not the taste or caffeine content of black tea. This has the smell and a wonderful taste, plus the health benefits of white tea.

Comments about Teavana Earl Grey White Tea:

After decades of being an Earl Gray Black drinker, I eased into Earl Gray Green (Taylors) and now over to loose white. This tea is my go to morning choice. Sometimes I may add a pinch of the Earl Gray Black to the 2nd cup for variety. It can get bitter from oversteeping and I suggest you try 3-4 minutes- 5 is almost always too long.

Comments about Teavana Earl Grey White Tea:

Went in for the more traditional Earl Grey Black and the staff convinced me to try the White. Very nice light tea great for an evening cup.

Comments about Teavana Earl Grey White Tea:

I was a little hesitant to purchase this tea after reading some of the reviews. I'm glad I did purchase it, however. Teavana's White Earl Grey is the best I've ever tasted! (It's perfect if you brew it properly.) Great job Teavana!

Comments about Teavana Earl Grey White Tea:

Earl Grey just sounds so stuffy, so I avoided this tea for a long time. WHY?! I've seriously been missing out on this delicate, soothing, cup of exquisite-smelling tea. Granted, if I didn't work at Teavana and didn't make tea for a living, I know for a fact I'd burn the living tar out of it. I must say, I've burnt more Earl Grey White than any other tea. For some reason, it is extremely quick to get bitter, so if you don't like that, be extremely careful- make sure the water is 175 degrees MAX (I add an ice cube even to that)and be careful that you don't steep it for a single second longer than 2 minutes (Tip- your tea is still steeping when you are draining it, so start draining it before the timer goes off).

Comments about Teavana Earl Grey White Tea:

I brewed my first pot of this at the recommended strength, and found the bergamot to be too overpowering. The second time around, I used slightly less (4 tbsp of tea for three cups, instead of 4.5), which was tolerable, but still not something that I would want to revisit.

Teavana, I think you should cut down on the bergamot, at least by 25% or so. The essence ought to compliment the flavor of the tea, not smother it.

Comments about Teavana Earl Grey White Tea:

When I first tried Earl Grey White, it tasted a little bitter. Then I remembered that, when brewed too long, it would.

Now that I have the brewing down right, I like it.

Comments about Teavana Earl Grey White Tea:

I love this tea. I am an electrician in oklahoma. I come home and steep a cup or two of earl grey white and relax before gettin to the house work. I have loved tea since i was in high school, and earl grey was always a favorite of mine. This tea blows every other tea I've had out of the water. I just wish it was a little stronger, but it is a white tea, so there you go!

Comments about Teavana Earl Grey White Tea:

This is the best cup of tea I have ever had. I am a relatively new Teavana drinker and had only ever had bagged tea before. A cup of this Earl Grey White compares to bags in the same way that a Maybach or Rolls Royce compares to a Yugo or a Pacer. This tastes so natural and refreshing, truly allowing one to realize the synthetic taste behind the major name-brand bags. The bergamot is far from overpowering, and taste can be manipulated by adding slightly greater or lesser amounts of leaves to the pot. The color and nose are both very pleasing and the general nature of the tea makes it appropriate to drink at any time.

I find there to be two cons to this tea.

1) It, like any white tea, can be burnt with water that is too hot. Take your water off before it boils and perhaps let it cool for a few minutes (or buy a kettle with a thermometer).

2) Cleaning this tea out of my Belle Amitie is a bit more difficult than with black teas. I don't know why, but it just is. No matter... it is worth it all the way!

I drink my tea black and without any sweeteners. Enjoy!

Comments about Teavana Earl Grey White Tea:

This has replaced my mug of Earl Grey Black tea I usually take to work with me every morning. It is definitely a lighter taste than the black tea but for the health benefits of white tea vs. black I can live with it. It's great to actually be able to see the bergamont flowers in the mix.

Be careful of using too hot water to steep the tea as this one is quick to bitter.

Comments about Teavana Earl Grey White Tea:

I was not sure what to expect from all the reviews but I love this Tea and for me the bergamont oil was just right. I re-brewed and the second cup was still yummy. Love it when you can re-brew!!!

Comments about Teavana Earl Grey White Tea:

With a beautiful aroma similar to a forest in the fall, the Earl Grey White has this amazing ability to bite every so gently at your tongue, and finish with a relaxing smoothness that you can feel down to your core. I'm a nervous person by design, and a warm cup of this before bed seems to put every thing in my life back into balance. It's taste is seemingly unlike anything I've tasted, being slightly veggy-like in palate and very woodsy, but DO NOT let this deter you in any way! By adding a half a teaspoon of honey after seeping makes it all the more enjoyable. I want to enjoy more teas, yet I always come back to this one. They should rename this tea "Peaceful Evening".

Comments about Teavana Earl Grey White Tea:

This is my second batch and I have to say it has way too much bergamot oil to the point where it dominates the flavor. My first purchase had the perfect balance and I loved the tea. This one - maybe not that much. Still, this is a great tea!

Comments about Teavana Earl Grey White Tea:

I love this tea, it is unbelievable. It contains ingredients that make me happy and relaxed. Wonderful taste and flavor. However, if you do not like strong flavors, this tea may not be for you. I love strong flavors: strong coffee, strong tea. Therefore this tea is perfect for me. I steep huge amounts per serving (3-4 overflowing spoons) and I steep it for 5 mins or else it gets too bitter. The result is phenomenal. I suggest you try a small amount. If you like it, get more. Enjoy it.

Comments about Teavana Earl Grey White Tea:

I bought this to share with my friends and family who prefer Earl Grey, but many of them (and I) find this too have too strong of a bergamot flavor. Now I mix it evenly with a simple green tea to help give it more of a tea flavor while still limiting the amount of caffeine.

Comments about Teavana Earl Grey White Tea:

Do not oversteep.

Comments about Teavana Earl Grey White Tea:

Black tea has too much caffeine in it for me, but once in awhile I would get a Black Earl Grey tea and enjoy it. The bergamot oil in this tea is perfect. It is not too strong and complements the natural sweetness of the white tea very well. This is one of my favorite teas from Teavana. I actually sit and savor every sip, even when I'm at work. Can't believe how good it is.

Comments about Teavana Earl Grey White Tea:

bought for the health benefits of the bergamont, but found it was to strong. Found that if you mix it with Bangkok Lemongrass Rooibos it tasted closer to Earl Grey Creme but without the caffeine. Very relaxing in the evening to drink, a great sleeping aid.

Comments about Teavana Earl Grey White Tea:

We all love this tea!

Comments about Teavana Earl Grey White Tea:

I find this tea to be good by itself, but add a small plate of red or black grapes, oranges, and or apples to nibble on as you sip this tea, and you will like both the tea and the fruit better.

Comments about Teavana Earl Grey White Tea:

I enjoy this Earl Grey tea. I have been drinking black tea for my entire life but I am hooked on this white tea. It is a very relaxing tea and the taste is very pleasant. If you like Earl Grey tea this is a great option.

Comments about Teavana Earl Grey White Tea:

This tea soothes the sleepyhead into facing the day. I love having it first thing in the morning.

Comments about Teavana Earl Grey White Tea:

After drinking Earl Grey for 40 years, I had to stop due to the black tea being too strong on my stomach and I missed it so much. I tried green versions, other black versions, nothing tasted good or prevented an upset stomach. The White Earl Grey tasted like a fond memory with so many flavors that blended so well into the best Earl Grey I ever had that was a full body tea plus... no upset stomach and I can drink it all day. Love it!

Comments about Teavana Earl Grey White Tea:

I like Earl Grey tea, but cannot have caffeine in any quantity. So, generally, I drink a decaffeinated tea. White teas are naturally low in caffeine and Teavana no longer sells a decaffeinated Earl Grey black tea. So, I was recently in one of their shops and decided to try the Earl Grey White.
I was quite disappointed. The bergamot was very strong for such a mild tea, to the point that it was overwhelming. I tried letting it steep a bit longer, but found that only made the tea taste bitter. Then I hit upon the idea of mixing it with a decaffeinated black tea I have. First I mixed 2 parts white to 1 part black. That was an improvement, but still not there. Then I tried a 1 to 1 mixture and that made it drinkable. I got the benefit of the bergamot from the white tea and the tea flavor I desired from the black tea.
Of course, if you have to mix the tea with something else to make it palatable, then it probably isn't worth buying in the first place.

Comments about Teavana Earl Grey White Tea:

I am a fan of Earl Greys from way back. In this tea, the bergamont is robust, refreshing and in combination with the white tea it sparkles (no not as in carbonation). Like previous posts this tea is quite sensitive to temperature and steep time. I have enjoyed this warm and iced and can get more than one infusion. I do find a little of this tea goes a long way. I also have enjoyed mixing a pinch or 2 per cup with the "To Life" tea and Peach Tranquility.

Comments about Teavana Earl Grey White Tea:

I think the white tea is no match for the bergamot. Not a good match.

Comments about Teavana Earl Grey White Tea:

I am pregnant at the moment and trying to stay away from large amounts of caffeine. I also really love Earl Grey in the morning. This is an excellent alternative. You get that great Earl Grey flavor without all the caffeine.

Comments about Teavana Earl Grey White Tea:

I had to be talked into trying this one. I have had earl grey in the black tea and found it too strong for me. I love this in the white tea. I have two cups every morning. It is a nice soothing way to start your day. It eases you into your busy day without the sharp jolt of the black tea version.

Comments about Teavana Earl Grey White Tea:

My wife drinks regular earl grey routinely and (with lot of sales pressure :-)) decied to give it a try. I am not a big earl grey fan but like this one because it is lighter.

Be sure to follow the prep instructions - water at 175 degF and steep for less than 2 min. Otherwise it will get bitter.

Comments about Teavana Earl Grey White Tea:

Earl Grey is my favorite tea. I switched to the decaf years ago. I was told at the store that the Earl Grey White was "New," to replace E.G. decaf (black tea). E.G. White is a big disappointed to true E.G. drinkers, it is incepted.

Comments about Teavana Earl Grey White Tea:

I like Earl Grey tea a lot. With this being a white tea it now gives me the oppertunity to drink Earl Grey more often. It has a great flavor to it and is as robust as the black tea but it offers better heath charicterists and a lot less caffine.

Great Job.

Comments about Teavana Earl Grey White Tea:

I drink this tea almost every afternoon. I am a bergamot oil fanatic, so I found this tea extremely soothing. I have to watch my caffeine intake, so I welcome this lighter version of Earl Grey.

Love it! Thanks Teavana.

Comments about Teavana Earl Grey White Tea:

We normally drink tea without adding anything.

Nothing helped to take the bitterness and pungent floral taste out of this tea. We tried sugar and then milk. For us it just offered no pleasurable effect.

Comments about Teavana Earl Grey White Tea:

Great tasting spin on earl grey with the health benefits of white tea. Lower caffeine so you can enjoy anytime the mood strikes

Comments about Teavana Earl Grey White Tea:

This tea is not bad, but you cannot steep it too long as it will be bitter. Follow the brewing instructions. It is a lighter version of the Earl Gray (black) tea. It would be better if creme pieces were added as I love Earl Gray Creme but am not able to drink black teas.

Comments about Teavana Earl Grey White Tea:

Wow! Teavana did a nice job with this. The white tea is high quality. I agree with the bergmont being strong, but I like that. The only thing mine was missing was the blue flowers, which I was hoping to taste.

Comments about Teavana Earl Grey White Tea:

The Bergamot was just too strong for me. It tasted unpleasant and I could not finish my cup. It would be better if they toned it down and maybe add something else to it.

Comments about Teavana Earl Grey White Tea:

When i heard that there was going to be an earl grey white tea at teavana i was very excited. but when i tried it, i wasnt excited anymore. Basically it taste like bergamont oil mixed with water. The only people i would reccomend it to is people that LOVE earl grey.

Comments about Teavana Earl Grey White Tea:

I'm so glad to see this flavor come along. I actually wrote Teavana about six months ago and suggested they create a Earl Grey White Tea because i'd had one made by another company. Black teas don't treat me very well physically so i typically have to steer clear of Earl Greys but i can now enjoy the great flavor of bergamot in a white tea at Teavana. This tea is not only delicious but also very good for you. Thanks Teavana!
