Brand: Teavana

Traditional Earl Grey is modernized by adding bergamot essence to white tea. White tea is the highest in antioxidants and lowest in caffeine, which makes this a very healthy choice. Studies suggest Bergamot oil acts as a mild anti-depressant. Unique and delicious!

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:

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:

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:

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 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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

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:

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!
