earl grey bravo

type: black

origin: sri lanka

variety: flavored

ingredients: bergamot flavor black tea cornflower orange

caffeine: strong

price level: $$$$

Earl Grey Bravo is a classic blend of artisan black tea from Sri Lanka, flavored with bergamot (a citrus fruit). The perfect afternoon tea: zesty and exhilarating fresh citrus aroma, slightly dry to the nose, with a rounded and balanced orange rind flavor to match the tang of Ceylon black tea. Our Earl Grey Bravo benefits from a pleasantly dry finish with a lingering citrus sweetness. Steep at 212°F for 2-3 minutes

      This is one of my favorite Earl Grey teas! I was a dedicated Earl Grey drinker for years and then kind of tired of it. But, once I tried this blend I really enjoyed it again. The Bergamot flavor is very distinctive in this tea. I love it! I do only drink it in the morning, because I find the caffeine pretty strong. Really does wake me up though!

    • 

      For an Earl Grey this is a bold and delicious tea. I brewed it at 212 F but I know other people have brewed it at a lower temp and found it better that way.

      The flavor is your classic bergamot, but neither too overpowering or too subtle. A good choice if you like Earl Gray.

    • 

      My personal recipe!

      5 strawberries, a dash of honey and vanilla extract, blend in the blender, add your brewed earl grey bravo, blend again, add milk rest of the way :) enjoy!

      Black tea is a personal favourite of mine, and this one did not disappoint. Even so, I am aware that not everyone might enjoy the little bits of lavender.

      I enjoyed this tea very much, it's a pleasant Earl Grey with a smooth yet fruity bergamot taste. :) I had it with oat milk.

      I totally hate all types of Earl Grey but my Mother loved earl grey very much esp Early Grey Moonlight. My Mom loved Earl Grey Bravo mixed with other teas in the adagio Fandom blends.

      BRAVO!!!!!!!! this is smooth and the orange is perfect.

    • 

      I love bergamot and the dry tea smells good. I cold brewed a whole pitcher from the CommuniTEA packet since black tea is usually too bitter, astringent, and caffeinated for me. This worked out well as iced tea for my tastes.

    • 

      I do not like or stomach Earl Grey tea but can tolerate with it mixed with other flavored blends. My mom loved Earl Grey, so this is for her. and she would drink it all the time.

      Love Earl Grey, and this one does not disappoint! Be careful not to oversteep it or it gets bitter.

      A nice take on the classic Earl Grey. Instead of simply tasting of bergamot, this has the added benefit of orange & creaminess.

      

      Having grown up with tea bags from mass marketed brands, I never understood the appeal of Earl Gray. Then I tasted this. Subtle yet strong. Complex yet clean. Caffeinated yet settling. It is not how I start fully half of my days.

      I am not typically a fan of black tea. However, this tea has a great flavor with hints of lavender and orange. No bitterness at all. I drink it without sugar or cream and it is delicious

      My favorite brand of Earl Grey. It has a strong astringent flavor and is a good tea for first thing in the morning. Citrusy and refreshing.

    • 

      Earl gray has a strong earl forward flavor. It's ok as an iced tea with ice diluting. This tea is not for me on a frequent basis.

      

      I'm sorry to say that I found this tea to be undrinkable. I do love a traditional Earl Grey, but this tea has artificial-tasting vanilla-like flavors that completely overpower the bergamot and black tea that characterize an Earl Grey. I love so many Adagio teas, but this one doesn't work for me.

      This version of Earl Grey is a wonderful change with the same bergamot scent. A bit mellower than others. The aroma is very relaxing

    • 

      Lovely Earl Grey blend. I love them all, but this one is a favorite! Nice blend of flavors. Great go-to when a cuppa black tea is needed with just the right kiss of bergamot!

    • 

      A good, basic Earl for when I want something a bit stronger than the cream Earl, and fancier than a bagged tea. Can't go wrong with it.

      This is a great strong Earl Grey, with a prominent bergamot flavor mixed with fragrant black tea.

      This is one of my favorite teas. Very similar to their Early Grey Moonlight, but not as soft. Great way to start the morning.

    • 

      Tastes like soap. no real bergamot flavor. all around terrible

    • 

      I tried this in the communiTEA sample and it's not my cup of tea. The bergamot is strong and irritates my throat. But if you enjoy Earl Grey, you'll enjoy this tea.

      Only earl grey you need. Just keep it out of the light when storing, but that probably goes for all teas.

      I am a big fan of the Earl Grey Tea! It is the only tea we drink in my family. I am from the Eastern Europe. And it is not difficult to find a good Earl Grey Tea there. But not in the USA. I tried so many brands online and in the stores. Nothing good! Even in very expensive stores like Teavana... Adagio.com is the only store that has an exellent Earl Grey tea. I have been buying it from for maybe 10 years. Very happy!!!

      I am not a fan of earl grey but this one might just change my mind. I liked the citrus taste with it. I also enjoyed it with cream and sugar.

    • 

      I am giving this a solid 3 stars, as I feel I can't give an unbiased review. I just don't like the taste of Earl Grey. I tried this as part of the CommuniTea, and it just tastes to me like other Earls I've tried. I think it's that weird, Fruit Loop-y taste that is just really off-putting. I know other folks really love it, so it's probably pretty good as Earl Greys go. Just not for me.

    • 

      The ingredients smell like a citrus perfume and it steeps (2 mins @ 200ºF) into a deep amber. I am not a fan of bergamot (or Earl Greys in general), but using honey as a sweetener and heavy whipping cream helps a great deal to smooth out its nasty aftertaste.

    • 

      I'm not a fan of bergamot but if you are, this is a good one. Strong, smooth and full of orange flavor too.

      It's a strong Earl Grey with a mighty citrus backbone. Decent stuff.

      I love Earl Grey, and this is the absolute best. Great flavor that is bold, citrusy, and stout.

    • 

      I don't generally enjoy Earl Grey but my boyfriend does. I ordered this for him (been trying for a long time to get him on the 'tea every day' bandwagon to no avail). He definitely enjoyed a big ol' mug of it this morning so I think this is a good one to purchase for him. It was still a bit too flowery for me but I was able to get a cup down. Side-note: this re-steeps so great!

    • 

      A bright citrusy Earl Grey. I steep at lower temperature (190°F x 2 min) to avoid the bitterness common to black tea. I also find that a little honey sweetens while smoothing out the bergamot. Nice morning wake-up tea, but also refreshing in the afternoon blended with frozen cubes of milk and added vanilla (London Fog Frappuccino).

    • 

      The citrus is more pronounced than the typical earl grey and slightly astringent, but it's a lovely cup of tea. A dash of cream would smooth it out if you're not a fan of the sharpness of earl grey.

      Good if you like bergamot flavor but a little too strong for me. I like the decaf Ceylon earl grey better.

      This has got to be one of my favorite earl grey teas. It’s a perfect strong tea to start any day. I do like mine with some sugar.

    • 

      Good for Earl Grey Lovers, strange for people who like black tea. The floral note was a little strange. Earl Grey is good, but this was an odd twist. Wouldn't throw it away but wouldn't drink it every day.

      Earl Grey is one of my favorites, so I knew I would love this. I actually got this just because I go through so much of it, and I needed to have it on hand. I plan to have it on its own and mix it with other flavors too! No complaints. WIll buy again! <3

      This is my husband's favorite tea. He pulled open the container and called me over to smell it before he made it saying, "This tea smells so good."

      It has a sweet flavor that does not require sweeteners, just a splash of milk, or ice if you fancy iced tea.

    • 

      A very nice version of “Earl Grey”, but for my taste, with an insufficiently intense flavor.

      I love an earl grey and I was so very curious as to what Orange would taste with this flavor. Perfect!

    • 

      This is a solid Earl Grey. It gets a bit bitter if you brew it too long (which I'm guilty of while multitasking and forgetting that my tea is brewing) but about 3min does the trick nicely. I've been enjoying it with a splash of vanilla simple syrup, and it's delightful.

    • 

      Classic Earl Grey that finishes with a touch of bitter from orange rind. Even though I'm not a great Earl Grey fan, I must say that Adagio's Earl Greys have thus far had stronger and smoother flavor profiles than many other brands I've tried.

    • 

      My absolute favorite that I NEVER get tired off. It's good hot, but it saves my life iced.

      This tea has an amazing coconut hint to an earl grey tea. It is not overwhelming but subtle. The colder the tea is the more the coconut flavor stands out.

      Like a froot loop black tea, delicious with cream and sugar. I liked this the best of the earl greys that I've tried from adagio.

      This is a very nice earl grey. I steeped for two minutes which was a good move as the bergamot was plenty strong. The taste is smooth and well balanced.

      I thought this was a great wary grey. I liked how the bergamot stood out.

    • LD

      

      It's definitely a bold earl grey, but I can't say it's my favourite. The bergamot tends to overpower the other flavours and leave almost a soapy flavour. It's nice blended with other teas, but it's a little much on its own.

      I like this tea because I'm a fan of Earl Grey, but it's a bit harsh for an Earl Grey. Good for waking up though...

      This has been my daily tea for over ten years. I love it with milk and can't start my day without it. Both the taste and aroma are delicious. No other tea has such a perfect amount of bergamot. I brew a heaping teaspoon of loose tea for 4 minutes at 212 degrees. My daughter enjoys hers with sugar.

      I never thought I liked earl gray until I tried it at work (limited choices), I was excited to try one from Adagio and decided on this one based on the reviews. It isn't quite as good as the other one I tried. I think it is a bit too floral for my liking, but still overall a good tea.

      Fantastic earl grey with vanilla and citrus aroma. No bitter aftertaste if oversteeped or made too strong.

    • 

      Brewed 2.5 min at 212 F. Not a huge fan, really strong early grey flavor with plenty of tang and citrus. Probably would go better with some milk to lessen the flavor. Dry mouthfeel.

      I don't love it as much as the Moonlight Earl Grey, as I'm a huge fan of floral teas, but it still great! That pop of citrus helps me get through the day.

      I like earl grey teas, especially in the morning. I am just starting to appreciate the bergamot in my tea. But this one was almost too strong for me and though I like citrus I wasn't fond of it in this tea.

    • 

      Not bad!! This one is easy to oversteep - it really doesn't need more than two and a half minutes at most.

    • 

      A straightforward earl grey tea with hints of zesty orange rind. While I prefer Earl Grey Lavender (which is, admittedly, a very strong floral tea), this one is a much tamer alternative that's perfect for lazy afternoons when a you need a bit of a caffeine kick to get through the rest of the day. This one very much strikes me as an "everyday" tea.

    • 

      I love the citrus added to this one. It makes the already aromatic earl grey so light and airy!

    • 

      A nice everyday tea. The Ceylon base is tangy and not too bitter. A great dry and sweet finish, though I would prefer a little more bergamot. I think this will be a regular buy!
