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.

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.
