I’m used to green based Jasmine Tea, so I tend to forget the adjustment on the temperature which it’s crucial for brewing white tea. The smell & freshness of Paper & Tea teas just blows my mind. The smell is like if you were taking a night walk through a humid jasmine forest. The flavor besides the obvious jasmine, is like a mossy,earthy & a hint of smoke. The liquor is light vibrant yellow. Although it holds 3 brews quite decently I opted for a bit longer one brew, like my jasmine to knock my cup up.

Since I’m a designer I’m pretty visual. Paper & Tea caught my eye for it’s outstanding branding & after some research that led me to conclude that the brand posses an authentic love & knowledge for tea. I’ve never seen tea leaves this beautiful. As soon as you open the sealed envelope that made it all the way through the Atlantic, the aroma is unbelievable fresh as if just picked & packed: fresh, preticor (the way the earth smells after the rain), citrous & a hint of honey & caramel. Don’t have a point of reference for black teas from Yunnan but I feel it’s a bit less bolder than the regular blacks, but holds a nice character strong enough for a pick me up tea, the bergamot is always present but discretely & the tastes of honey & caramel comes with every zip making it almost a treat. The best thing is that this is one of the few teas I posses that holds 2 brews pretty well. The liquor is amber & gold like a sunset.

Got it as a gift, wanted to try it since I’m an Earl Grey enthusiast. It’s surprisingly good, specially if you feel like you need an Earl past 5 but you restrain yourself because you won’t be able to sleep. This Lady Earl White base is smooth, light, the flavor like most whites for me are leafy, reminds me of the smell of a mossy wood, the bergamot is nice & pairs well with the lavender, which was a nice surprise. Usually use honey & a dash of whole milk, but without ’em is pretty good too.

I’m so so in love with this tea & yet so sad I’ve read it tastes different since the company was bought. Does anyone knows a bit more about it?

I really wanted it :(

Well I can’t believe what a 10 secs difference makes. It worked, tasted better, bergamot’s a bit shy but it’s presence lingers quite well & finally feels like it pairs well with the rose petals :D

I’m disappointed. Super dark liquor. Ceylon base is neutral, a bit woody. I smell a hint of roses blended with citrous that fades to a minimum aftertaste. This is my second cup, so reading your reviews are keeping me hopeful, I’ll steep longer next time.

I love Earls with lavender, but this lavender tastes beyond delicious. It’s strong & aromatic. The black base is nice not strong. I love how well it pairs with the bergamot, even when the lavender is stronger, you still can taste the bergamot.

I liked it a lot, but not as an earl variation, can’t taste the bergamot, but it’s tangy & floral. I bet iced is great. The black base is nice, but I need to brew it a little less time, a little too strong with 5:30 minutes. Quite yummy

Light green liquor, earthy & soft taste, smells like a rainy forest. The leaves are so pretty, big & green. Drinkin’ it straight, anyone use any sweetener &/or milk with oolong?

This was a gift from China, straight out of the company’s tea house. It’s floral, fresh, earthy, the liquor is amber. One thing I’m learning is to manage a generous tea spoon. It’s unbelievable when the green tea is fresh. The jasmine is really nice, not perfumey or dominant. I have another box waiting so I better start drinking :D
