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).

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.

Completely new to tea but fell in love with this. Very smooth and aromatic, just don't oversteep or it turns out harsh.

Comments about Teavana Earl Grey White Tea:
I prepare this tea using Teavana's recommendations: 175 degrees, 1.5tsp per cup (since this is a flavored white tea), and 2 minute steep time. I use a French press.
I tend to let it steep for less time as it has a very strong flavor palate. If you enjoy the taste of bergamot, you will definitely enjoy this tea. However, given how powerful the flavors and aromas are, I'm not sure that the tea itself shines much. It's pleasant, but nothing extraordinary.
As an additional note, it also makes for excellent iced tea.

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.

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.
