This was not exactly what I was expecting. I love Earl Grey teas and I love white teas. The addition of the lemon in this mellowed the experience that I was looking for. Still enjoyable, just not what I was looking for.
The unexpectedly floral and fruity elegance of white tea combines with the zesty undertone of bergamot.

Oh yes, one of my favorites.. I loved the more intense taste of the orange more then in other brands of Earl Grey I've tried
A very refreshing iced tea, the citrus notes are crisp and bright.
This captures the vibrance of earl grey without overwhelming the white tea. It also pairs quite well with milk, without losing character.
one of my new favorites. perfect for afternoon/evening as well as for London fog lovers who want a lower caffeine dose
Absolutely delicious! It’s not bitter and is elevated with some lemon juice. It’s smooth and clean.
Just enough flavor and just enough caffeine for a lovely mid-afternoon treat. I'm glad this blend became a permanent addition to the Adagio roster.
Absolutely love the level of bergamot in this tea. A refreshing update to a classic. A new favorite!
Great Earl grey flavor with a lot less bitterness and caffine
I received a sample of this new tea and I really enjoyed it. It was a perfect blending of white and Earl Grey!
I first tried this as part of the Nutcracker Advent Calendar and like it so much that I ordered some. This was one of the best Earl Greys I’ve had; right up there with Bella Luna. The white tea, lemon and marigold flowers balanced the traditional bergamot. I feel silly saying it was elegant, but that’s the word that keeps coming to mind.
Earl Grey is my favorite tea, especially Bella Luna. This white Earl Grey is a close second! It's light but still has that Earl Grey taste with being overbearing.
A new favorite. I will always have this in my bag whenever I order. A lovely not-to-caffeinated cup with a fresh taste to it. Light and wonderful.
It's a delicate and elegant white tea with slight whimsical notes of bergamot, recommended to consume hot, not cold.
Though I've been an E.G. fan, this was my first E.G. White. I did enjoy this lighter more simple version with an undertone of bergamot. Don't see this replacing my loves: Moonlight or Supreme, but this would be a later evening option due to lower caffeine content. I had mine warm but could see this working cool.
I found a new favorite with White Earl Grey. Its light, refreshing, and perfect for cold winter afternoons
A white Earl Grey? Had to try this. As a white, takes a little longer to steep, at least for me. Well worth the wait! Good with the berry tea cookies.
Crisp, classic Earl Grey bergamot flavor on full display, just without the familiar black tea flavor backing it up. Nice and light and refreshing!
I was skeptical at first with this one. I definitely like how the less bold white tea base lets the bergamot really stand out. It may be quite a strong flavor, but I was pleased to see that you could still taste the lemon in there as well as more than a ghostly background note. This is the kind of tea I love trying on CT as I probably never would have purchased it on my own. Nothing added to this light and nice cup. 189° 4 min
This is such a light, lovely earl, its quite a different earl compared to its usual black tea base, almost summery in comparison.
I really enjoyed this white based Earl. I still can’t have hot liquids yet, dental surgery, so I allowed it to cool on the counter and by the time I remembered it, it had gotten cold. Turns out It was really good cold. I’d like this one as a summer iced tea. Most Earl greys are so strong, I have to make them as a latte. No need to do that with this milder version, it was just right the way it was, no additions. ( 180° for 2.5 minutes)
much milderthan the traditional black tea Earl grey. I sampled this tea as part of the CommuniTea September 2025 box.
Perfect cup of white in my opinion, could be my favorite of the entire month, splendid light EG flavor, gets even better as it cools
Very tasty white tea with a nice lemon flavor and just a hint of bergamot.
Absolutely perfect. I always loved the smell of earl gray but the taste was always a miss. This cleared that right up and it was absolutely delightful
This tea had a great bergamot scent and flavor! The white tea's light floral flavor paired well with bergamot. Very good earl grey with a white tea base!
What a nice light earl grey! I usually don't gravitate to white teas, but I love all things Earl Grey. The addition of lemon adds a nice twist. I would drink this again.
The aroma of bergamot and citrus are splendid, but the flavor is just a tad underwhelming for me. Still, this is a very comforting tea.
I will almost always say yes to Earl Grey and this was a nice, light option - which I'll have to remember for my summer sips.
This is a lovely, light Earl Grey. It tastes 'fresher' than the traditional black tea Earl. The white tea tames the 'Earl-ness' in this tea - it's still present, just much milder. If you are not a fan of the Earl, give this one a try. It is more subdued than expected.
This is a really pleasant tea. I don't usually love white tea, and I have to be in just the right mood for Earl Grey. But for some reason, the two seem to complement each other, and it's very enjoyable. I steeped it for three minutes at 180 degrees.
A smooth, mellow tea, far less overpowering than a straight earl grey.
A nice, light earl grey. It's bright and lemony, perfect for a more refreshing cup than the heavier normal earl greys.
I love a good grey... this one offers a light delightfulness, plus white tea bring less caffeine into the mix... I could sip this all day!
Liking this more than I thought I would. The white tea mellows out the Earl Grey a bunch. Still taste the earl but it is not as bitter as most earls. Interesting tea.
Lynn: I love Earl Grey, but I usually find whites too bland, but this one is well balanced with a lovely floral bouquet. I like how this tea uses lemon instead of orange like other's from Adagio. I'd love to try an Earl Grey Hojicha with the lemon and marigold.
Andrea: I'm not an Earl Grey fan. I find bergamot too perfumy. This is a nice smelling tea. I can taste how the lemon pulls the bergamot more floral than it is with the more common orange peels. Still, bergamot is more potpourri than tea to me and I don't want more than a couple sips.
To quote my son, “there is WHITE tea?” - this is not a tea would we would usually buy (clearly) but it was good and fun to try! :)
CommuniTEA sample, 3 min @ 180 F. This is what I voted for in the tealection last year! I really like a nice, traditional Earl grey, although I am not a fan of the Ceylon base that adagio often uses. But this scratches the itch, this is a lovely, fresh white tea, lower in caffeine so I can drink more of it without feeling guilty! It's got a little bit of a sweet aroma from the bergamot, with the perfect balance of tartness and bitterness from the lemon, all over a fresh, slightly toasty, slightly floral white tea. I got two very flavorful infusions out of the leaves!
Bravo, Adagio! I love earl grey white blends, and this one exceeded my expectations. Light and smooth, with the extra pop of lemon makes for a delicious cup of tea. The bergamot stays bright, but has a softer profile. Add a spot of cream for absolute perfection!
I love this blend! Sometimes the traditional earl grey can get very dry, but as a white tea it really elevates the elegance of the added earl grey flavoring!
This White Tea was a pleasant surprise! So elegant, I felt I should be dressed up and with company. I do love Earl Grey to begin with, but can’t have the caffeine. I drink many White Teas as a result. This new tea from Adagio is a great addition to my selection of choices.
I got a sample of this through the rewards store, since then I've been eagerly waiting for it to go on sale. This is my favorite variation of earl grey. The white tea lets the bergamot and lemon shine and provides a rich base, and you don't have to worry about bitterness from a black tea. Delicious, lush, and elegant!
Delicate white tea with notes of Earl Grey. I tried this cold steeped, but I definitely prefer it hot. Cheers!
If elegance could be steeped, it would taste like Adagio’s White Earl Grey. This tea is a revelation—delicate, refined, and utterly captivating. The base of white tea brings a soft, floral sweetness that dances beautifully with the bright citrus of bergamot. Unlike traditional Earl Grey blends, this one doesn’t shout—it whispers sophistication with every sip.
The addition of lemon and marigold flowers adds a gentle complexity that feels like sipping sunshine. It’s low in caffeine, making it perfect for a serene afternoon or a calming start to the day. And whether you choose loose leaf or the pyramid teabags, the quality is unmistakable—each cup feels like a small luxury.
I’ve tried countless Earl Grey variations, but this one stands alone. It’s not just tea—it’s an experience. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates subtlety, balance, and beauty in their brew
