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 signs.

Using the classic Gregorian calendar, how North Americans usually mark our days and weeks, Gemini is viewed as the sixth zodiac sign in the new year, but the third of the 12 sun signs.

About Gemini

Those born between May 21 and June 20 are represented by a set of twins. In Greek mythology, Castor and Pollux are the twin half-brothers, also known as the Dioscuri. The twins were conceived by two different men: Castor was fathered by King Tyndareus of Sparta, and Pollux by the god Zeus. They were also said to have been birthed in the form of a giant egg that the twins shared.

In Egyptian astrology, Gemini is represented by a pair of goats, and in Arabian astrology, a pair of peacocks.

Those born under the sign of the twins are sometimes said to have a dual nature -- sometimes contradictory but also adaptable, with the ability to view life from different angles.

As an Air sign, Gemini can often be connected to all aspects of their mind, and sometimes feel they are missing their other half. As a result, they often seek out new friends and connections and delight in sharing information and putting thoughts, ideas, and people together.

Adagio took all the characteristics of this sign and designed a light and colorful blend to stimulate Gemini's effervescent vitality.

Apricot pieces, apples, and marigold petals are a stunning feast for the eyes and senses that will keep Geminis forever young. Famous Gemini who would enjoy sipping on this blend include Sir Ian McKellen, Helena Bonham Carter, Venus Williams, Paul McCartney, John F. Kennedy and Queen Victoria.

About the Tea

This smooth-sipping white tea blend finishes with a burst of fruity flavors. Geminis can be sassy intellectuals and this blend will help them liven up every tea party alongside their quick-witted conversations.

Many Adagio reviewers stated this is one of their favorite Zodiac blends. They noted that the Gemini blend has a strong peach flavor with a natural sweetness. Others called this tea mellow and relaxing, and perfect for hot or iced drinks. Some suggest adding sweetener to bring forward the fruity 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.

Marigold Petals

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.

Apricot Pieces

Like white tea, apricot pieces can boost antioxidant levels in the drinker. Apricots may also improve bowel function due to their rich fiber content. Also rich in vitamins and minerals, apricots are said to also support skin and eye health, and help fight inflammation.
