Life
Tea — it's what's for dinner. No... that's not it. Tea — the other white meat. Nope. Still wrong. The best part of waking up, is tea in your cup.
Close enough! After water, tea is the most popular drink. On an average day, more than 158 million of us are drinking it, and it's hanging out in nearly 80 percent of all homes in America. There's a flavor for everyone: people who like something sweet, people who prefer something spicy, and everything and anything in between. There is even specific tea you should drink based on your zodiac sign, and you can find your flavor at Adagio Teas.
You can peruse the 12 varieties under Adagio's Gifts sections, since any human in your life would be thrilled to receive this as a present, obvi. Each of the 12 signs of the zodiac has its own unique flavor combination, reflecting their personality, likes, and strengths. It looks like you can purchase every flavor either loose or in teabags, but don't be surprised if you find that your flavor is out of stock — all of them have glowing reviews, and astrology lovers are dying to get their hands on a box.
The price might seem a bit steep for tea; after all, you could probably go to the local grocery store and buy a box for a couple bucks. But remember, this is special tea made specifically for your sign; and don't lie: you'd totally hang on to the tin because they're kind of gorgeous to look at.
Thirsty? Here are the 12 varieties.
