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

Using the classic Gregorian calendar (how North Americans usually mark our days and week) Taurus is viewed as the fifth zodiac sign in the new year, but the second of the 12 signs in the zodiacal year.

About Taurus

Those born between Apr 20 and May 20 are represented by a bull. The sign of Taurus is associated with several myths and bull worship from several ancient cultures. It is said to be the first sign of the zodiac established among the Mesopotamians in the Early Bronze Age (4000 to 1700 BC), who called it "The Great Bull of Heaven," as that was the constellation through which the Sun rose on the spring equinox at that time.

Those born under the sign of the bull are said to be stable and conservative, with a love of physical pleasures. Taurus is considered the most dependable sign of the zodiac and often has grounded, practical, and realistic perspective. As an Earth sign, their determination and commitment are often mistaken for stubbornness, but they simply have a strong sense of responsibility.

About the Tea

Adagio took all the characteristics of this sign and crafted a delicate blend to reward Taurus with a sensual, comforting flavor that they can rely on for their daily dose of pleasure. Apple pieces and marigold petals indulge Taurus' love of aesthetic refinement.

Famous Taurus' who would enjoy sipping on this blend include Adele, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, William Shakespeare, and George Clooney.

The oolong and white teas in this blend support a beautiful peach bouquet. Some apricot notes can be felt in the aftertaste, and this blend sips wonderfully after a hard day's work. Taurus will enjoy taking this tea to their garden to relax at the end of a long day.

The Taurus blend offers Oolong and White Teas alongside natural Peach Flavor, Apple Pieces, Marigold Flowers, Apricots and Silver Needle Tea, satisfying the bull's strong desire to be surrounded by love and beauty.

Reviewers note the oolong gives an earthy mineral-ity to the fruity notes. Some suggest adding sweetener to bring forward the peach and apricot flavors.

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

White Tea

The least processed type of tea, as well as the most delicate in flavor, white tea is produced by picking the buds and leaves of the tea plant before they're fully open. White tea gets its name from the fact that the buds have tiny white hairs on them at the time of picking.

Both black and white tea contain antioxidants, but white tea has more antioxidants due to less processing than other types of tea. 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 help prevent many types of chronic health conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, and certain types of cancer.

Apple Pieces

Everyone knows an apple a day keeps the doctor away, and even in teas, apples are said to be good for the body. Hot apple drinks may ease anxiety and mental exhaustion, and possibly relieve hoarseness.

Marigold Flower

Besides adding a colorful note to tea blends, marigold flowers have some interesting health benefits.

It's said that the blooms may aid in alleviating stomach discomforts and supporting digestion, as well as possibly relieving menstrual cramps and stomach ulcers. In larger doses, marigold has been used to ease headaches and facilitate sleep.
