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.

Ingredients & Lore
blended with black tea, orange, natural bergamot flavor & blue cornflowers
Bravo is a word with several meanings. One of them is to swap out for the letter "B" in military communications. An older, lesser known one is to describe a bandit or assassin for hire. Here at Adagio though, we prefer its most common usage, which is to congratulate a performer on a job well done. Earl Grey has been around since around the 1830s and continues to be one of the most popular blends in the world today. For always filling our cups with cheer, we think that deserves a round of applause. Bravo!

“ depends, Earl Grey has to be steeped carefully or you can easily obliterate the bergamot and then be left with a pedestrian cup of black tea. ”

In a sampler pack I loved the earl grey bravo, so I ordered a large bag. The large bag lists cornflowers as one of the ingredients, but they weren't listed on the bravo sampler package. Am I getting the same tea? I disliked the moonlight and rooibos te
