Ew. Not a fan of the rose flavour, & the bergamot is strong and completely overwhelms the white tea.

Can definitely taste the rose, but even though I brewed this quite lightly, the bergamot is still overpowering and doesn’t really go with the white tea at all…

Found the very last teabag of this in my cupboard (I’m at home, meaning the majority of my tea collection is at uni: I’m scavenging a little through my old blends here!) so I’m giving it a shot as I’m craving white tea.

Last time I had this I’m not sure my white tea brewing methods were too great, so I took extra care not to use water that was too hot here. It’s smelling a lot more fragrant than I ever remember; the rose and bergamot are certainly distinguishable, the rose more so. But it’s beginning to smell like a bath soap.

Taking care with the water temperature and brewing time here has definitely helped- it’s now soft, rather than harsh, although it still tastes like a Lush product! The white tea is hardly present at all except maybe in a slightly toasty background but the rose tastes all-consuming here! Even the bergamot seems to have tossed in a vaguely citrusy edge and run from the perfume-y flavour of it all. Ah well – it wasn’t such a bad experience this time. It was good while it lasted but I don’t think I’ll be making an effort to buy more of this. Cheers, Will and Kate!

Loved the mixture between slightly rose and don’t-know-what (persumably bergamot). A bit too much don’t-know-what, though. Which got strengthened after adding a spot of brown sugar.

I’m not a massive fan of Earl Grey but this tea sounded too good not to taste and when I did I was incredibly impressed! I’ve been searching for a white Earl Grey ever since! It’s a mild and slightly sweet flavour.
