This tea is lovely, not only to the eye but also, the mouth, nose, feel. I love the leaves after it's been steeped. The silver tips can be unrolled to see each little leaf. You can see the hand-picked quality. Thank you for A top grade tea.

Great tea. Good flavor, smooth...not one dimensional. If you like earl grey, this is just a great tea.

I've tryed all of the ST Earl Greys and this one is by far my favorite. I drink it 18oz at a time. The Eldorado of Earl Greys.

I first tried this tea at a local tea shop in Salem, MA. It is by far the best Earl Grey I've ever tried (and I have tried many). Everyone else I have had taste it, it has also become their favorite. (Except for one friend who still swears by Earl Grey de la Creme, my second favorite, which I also discovered in the same tea shop). As others have said, I am completely spoiled for other Earl Greys now.

I have sampled many decent Earl Greys over the years but this one is the best I've found. The leaves look beautiful and smell heavenly. They live up to their promise when brewed, yielding a sweetly fragrant liquor. Flavorwise, the base is clean and well-rounded without being overly rich, so it doesn't interfere with the exotic flowery-fruity lift of bergamot. If steeped three minutes in a preheated cup, this tea is absolute perfection: full but not too bold, classic but never conventional, blended but not contrived.

This is an update on my last review. White Tip Earl Grey is still my favorite tea. It's delicate flavor balanced with the right amount of bergamot just can't be beat. Since my last review I've tried the Orange Tea #923 and can comment on it. #923 has a wonderful, orange aroma but the wonderful citrus scent weakly passes into the flavor of the tea. But...I found a way to enhance the flavor. I blended one part Earl Grey Royal (which I felt had too much bergamot)with two parts of Orange Tea #923 and now it has wonderful flavor! Almost as good as the White Tip Earl Grey!

I've tried many, many different kinds of Earl Grey in a search for the best. My quest is now over as White Tip smokes them all. Absolutely fantastic!

Lately I've been trying various blends of Earl Grey to find out which I prefer the most. So far this is my favorite! A definite 5 star for a Bergamont flavored tea. I've tried the Earl Grey Royal and found the amount of Bergamont much too overpowering. I think I'd actually prefer a normal orange flavored tea over a Bergamont flavored tea so I'm giving the Orange Tea #923 a try next.

Not as good as the Earl Grey Da Le Creme. I tried it with cream and sugar and still didn't like it. Tastes very "strong" to me.

My first experience with the White Tip Earl Grey was as if I had been a non-fat milk drinker all my life and then someone handed me a cup of fresh cream! Thankfully its not nearly as fattening as fresh cream. I am hooked.
Reviewer: Chris Pankratz,
I am an Earl Grey lover and this tea is without question the best tasting I have ever found. Nothing else comes close to the quality and flavor.
Reviewer: David,
I have ordered white-tip Earl Grey several times and each time I think it is pure ambrosia. If you like Earl Grey, then this is the tea you have been looking for.
Reviewer: Teri,
This is hands-down the best Earl Grey tea out there. I am a long-time Earl Grey fan and I have yet to find one that beats this one.
Reviewer: Nancy,
My daughter and I drink this tea together. It is the best Earl Gray we have tasted, and has completely spoiled us for other Earl Gray teas.
Reviewer: mort--somewhere in I,
"Nectar of the gods" is about as close as I can get to describing this Earl Grey--and even that doesn't do it justice.
Reviewer: Eric S,
This is an amazing Earl Grey tea. The quality of the leaves amazing when compared to other Earl Grey teas available. I love this tea. I have 2lbs right now and I get nervous when I am down to 1lb. Stock up, because your going to have to fight me for it if the going gets tough.
Reviewer: Dave,
What a wonderful tea. While visiting a friend in California I sipped this on their back lanai. They didn’t prepare me for the light lingering taste of this Earl Grey. Usually the bergamot is overpowering. My friend went away for a cup himself. I didn’t realize that I was transported until I heard a voice bring me back with “What do you think?” What an wonderful tea. I've tried others but always come back to this one. I steep for five minutes or until the color of a light golden autumn leaf. I add a tiny bit of sugar but no milk/cream. This allows the tea to reveal itself. ...dave
Reviewer: Ron Karl,
By far the best Earl Grey that I have ever tasted. Now I'm spoiled.
Reviewer: Blackhorse,
This and the #563 Jasmine Yin Hao are without a doubt the most incredible "eye openers" at SpecialTeas. After a lifetime of sipping grocery store varieties...and now having tried these...I feel like Dorothy in OZ. What was once black and white is now in georgous full color. A deft, delicate and subtle hand blended these! True treasures!!!
Reviewer: Melanie Omstead,
Fragile, delicate, wonderful!!! Oh my God, full smooth, sparkling on the tongue, the base tea is perfect. The bergamot is slightly understated, which lets the Yinzhen tips round out this perfect tea.
