Adventure Through the Zodiac: Sagittarius Tea

by Jessica Foley
Fuel your adventures with Adagio's Sagittarius blend
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 Sagittarius

Sagittarius is the ninth sign and the last to fully take place in a Gregorian calendar year. Falling between November 22 and December 21, Sagittarius is represented by either a centaur shooting a bow and arrow or by an arrow drawn across a bow. The horse portion of this Sagittarius symbol is said to be unruly, relentless, beastly, and strong. The human portion is considered to be wisdom-seeking and rational.

People born under this sign are often curious and bold with an adventurous spirit. As a fire sign, Sagittarius can struggle with commitment in relationships (and beyond) and sometimes have a hard time finishing what they start. They prefer to mix up their daily routines and can sometimes be straightforward (to a fault.)

Famous Sagittarius who would enjoy this blend include Taylor Swift, Mark Twain, Walt Disney, Frank Sinatra, and Brittney Spears.

About the Tea

Adagio took all the characteristics of this sign and designed a high caffeine blend that supplies Sagittarius with the stamina they need for their next adventure.

The earl grey infused black tea is balanced with vanilla and creme flavors to keep Sagittarius interested. Raspberry pieces and red safflowers are creative and colorful touches that satisfy Sagittarius' curiosity and dispel boredom.

Reviewers note the smooth and creamy feel of this blend combine well with the raspberry and Earl Grey flavors. Some suggested brewing at a slightly lower temperature to avoid any possible bitterness. A touch of sweetener honey/index.html was also recommended by some reviewers, to cut any potential bitterness.

Overall, this blend was a hit with most who tried it.
Adagio's carefully chosen ingredients also offer some surprising health benefits.

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.

Vanilla

The aroma of vanilla is said to have many benefits. Smelling vanilla can have calming effects on both children and adults. It can reduce startle reflexes and also provide some relief from sleep apnea, a sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts.

Other traditional practices around the world may use vanilla as an aphrodisiac and to aid with gas relief. With such a pleasant smell, it's no wonder vanilla is often used in aromatherapy and for scenting household items like candles.

Bergamot Oil

Bergamot oil is extracted from the rinds of the citrus fruit that grows on bergamot orange trees. Its distinctive scent is also said to have stress-relieving properties and create reduced feelings of anxiety and fatigue. Studies have shown it can also be effective at lowering cholesterol and reducing pain and inflammation.

It's what gives Earl Grey tea its distinctive flavor!

How To Enjoy

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

The high caffeine content in this blend will support Sagittarius through all their adventures, and the creamy fruit finish keeps them interested and engaged enough to at least finish their cup before moving on to their next task.
