Description
Earl Grey Bravo or Aristocrate Earl Grey is premium black tea from Sri Lanka, flavored with oil of bergamot, a citrus fruit. According to legend, this tea is named for Earl Grey, a British Prime Minister, to whom a Chinese noble entrusted its secret recipe for saving his life. Unfortunately, this story is not true. But we hope this won't prevent you from enjoying our exquisite 'Bravo' version of the popular Earl Grey tea. The perfect afternoon tea.
Story
It is said that in 1830, an Englishman named Charles Earl Grey traveled on a diplomatic mission to China, where in return for his act of kindness, a local mandarin presented him with the recipe for making this distinctive tea. A few corrections are in order. Firstly, the Chinese have never been black tea drinkers, and were unlikely to have a recipe for Earl Grey to bestow on visitors. Secondly, Charles Earl Grey never set foot in China. Otherwise, the story is completely true.
"The aroma is very powerful and sweet, and smells like citrus, even before steeping. Prior to this, I had only tried the Earl Gray in tea bags. This tea has convinced me to explore more of the black teas and broaden my palate."
"Normally I'm not a fan of black teas, but this Earl Grey is complex and smells fantastic."
"Delicious! I've tried harney and son's which was also very good, but I can't taste a thing about this tea I don't like. It has a great taste and smell."
"This is a lovely earl grey blend. I find that steeping it for five minutes leaves it a little tannic, so I usually shorten the steeping time to 4:30 instead. Excellent with just a little sugar to bring out the flavors."
"A bit heavier on the citrus than other Earl Greys I've had, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Aromatic and pungent, you want to make sure not to over-steep this one. It turns bitter fast if you do. For me, it's a good daily tea that I take to the office and enjoy while glued to a screen."
"Very good tea. Has become one of our favorites. Definetly recommend this tea."
