What is Earl grey white tea?!?!
Answers: What the heck is Tetley's Earl Grey White tea?? Or their Earl Grey Green for that matter? I've had it, its ok, but....shouldn't it be one or the other since green tea is non-aged leaves? Unless they are just mixing them..
Earl Grey is usually black tea with bergamot oil (bergamot is a citrus fruit reminiscent of lemons). So your Earl Grey White is just white tea with bergamot oil.
Earl Grey tea is a tea blend with a distinctive flavour and aroma derived from the addition of oil extracted from the rind of the bergamot orange, a fragrant citrus fruit.
Traditionally the term "Earl Grey" was applied only to black tea; however, today the term is also applied to green teas, including white tea and oolong, and tisanes, such as rooibos, that contain oil of bergamot.
earl grey is just a type of tea. and when they classifly it as white, it just means with milk.
White tea is made from unopened leaves. The leaf buds still have fine white hair on them when they're picked; hence the name. White tea is unfermented, while green tea undergoes a bit of fermentation.
Earl Grey tea is a tea to which oil of bergamot (a bitter orange) has been added. The oil can be added to any kind of tea leaves.
