October 11, 2023

by Jessica Foley


There are 12 signs in the Zodiac, and Adagio Teas has created a unique blend for each one, representing the character and energy of the Western astrology signs.

About Libra

Libra is the seventh astrological sign, and the tenth in our calendar system, falling between September 23 and October 22.

This sign is usually represented by a woman (sometimes identified with Astraea, the Roman goddess of justice), holding a balance scale, and sometimes by the balance alone. Libra is seen as cooperative and diplomatic, with an appreciation of harmony and the outdoors.

People born under this sign are known for their peaceful and fair nature, and can be fascinated by balance and symmetry. As an air sign, Librans are often willing to go to great lengths to avoid conflict and maintain peace whenever possible. They can be inspired by good books, engaging discussions, and individuals who have a lot to say.

Famous Librans who would enjoy this blend include John Lennon, Serena Williams, Luciano Pavarotti, Gwen Stefani, Oscar Wilde, and Olivia Newton-John.

About the Tea

Adagio took all the characteristics of this sign and designed a https://www.adagio.com/gifts/libra.html suitably balanced blend that will appeal to Libra's sense of harmonious beauty. Black tea supports sweet strawberries, chocolate, and crème in this comfortable high-caffeine blend.

Adagio's addition of rose petals and cocoa nibs are stylish details in a blend that will complete Libra's sophisticated tea collection. The complimentary flavors in this blend will help Librans bring people together over a cup of tea.

Reviewers have said this tea is chocolate covered strawberries in liquid form, and some called it a romantic blend. The rose petals add a touch of floral flavor that lightens the cup, and many recommend adding a creamy element or using this blend for a tea latte. Some preferred a touch of sweetener and a recommended one is Adagio's chocolate honey to further enrich the chocolate notes.


Adagio's carefully chosen ingredients also offer some surprising health benefits.

Cacao Nibs

Like many of Adagio's ingredients, cacao nibs (which provide smooth cocoa flavor) can boost antioxidant levels in the drinker. Antioxidants are beneficial for fighting free radicals, unstable molecules that can damage other molecules in the body. By keeping cell damage from free radicals in check, antioxidants can help prevent many types of chronic health conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, and certain types of cancer.

Black Tea

Black tea is reportedly one of the most consumed beverages in the world. Enjoyed hot or cold, black tea is said to have many beneficial properties, from improving gut and heart health to lowering blood pressure and blood sugar levels.
Studies suggest that the polyphenols found in black tea may help maintain a healthy gut by promoting the growth of good bacteria and inhibiting the growth of bad bacteria. Black tea may also contain antimicrobial properties that kill off harmful substances and improve gut bacteria and immunity by helping repair the lining of the digestive tract.

Strawberries

There are many benefits to consuming strawberries even in tea form. The fruit is said to have antioxidant properties, and may improve symptoms of gout and arthritis. Some research has also shown strawberries to be somewhat effective at supporting the cardiovascular system, and there are even claims that strawberries can aid in weight loss efforts.

How to enjoy

This blend steeps well in any bag or infuser. We recommend five minutes at 212°F or 100°C. Available in a 3 or 16 oz bag, and in our pyramid tea bags, this blend makes a perfect gift for any Libra in your life.
