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.

About Capricorn

Using the classic Gregorian calendar - how North Americans usually mark our days and weeks -- Capricorn is viewed as the first zodiac sign in the new year, but the 10th of the 12 sun signs. Those born between Dec 22 and Jan 19 are said to be Capricorns and are represented by a sea-goat (half goat, half fish). Capricorn is an earth sign, reflecting the fact that this sun sign represents the most grounded people on the planet.

Adagio took all the characteristics of this earth sign into consideration while crafting this smooth yet strong blend to give Capricorn a serious dose of focus and flavor.

Capricorns work hard and this black and white tea mixed with coconut is the practical choice to get them through long nights at work. Vanilla and rose petals are a classic combination of flavors that this sun sign can depend on.

Capricorns are considered unique spirits and hardworking visionaries, leaders, and trailblazers. They are said to have a practical spirit that makes people feel comfortable in their presence. Those under this sign can be incredibly gracious friends who pride themselves on honesty and loyalty. Though this sun sign may seem a bit conservative and restrained at first, Capricorn's closest friends and lovers know that these sea goats love to party.

Famous Capricorns who would enjoy sipping on this blend include Dolly Parton, Michelle Obama, Mary J. Blige, and John Legend.

Adagio's Capricorn blend is perfect for breakfast, or to cap off your day. Available in 2oz, 16 oz bag, and in our pyramid tea bags, this blend makes a perfect gift for the Capricorns in your life.

About The Tea

This blend also doubles as a wellness tea, with our carefully chosen ingredients:

Coconut

Coconut meat is said to have antimicrobial properties, and those properties may be transferred to your cup after steeping this flavorful blend. These properties may be useful in preventing infections related to root canals and other teeth issues, but are not a substitute for proper dental hygiene!

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.

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.

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 being processed less 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.

How to Enjoy

This blend steeps well in any bag or infuser. We recommend three to five minutes at 212°F or 100°C.

With a strong coconut aroma, the Capricorn blend evokes images of tropical islands and relaxation. But the strong tea flavor helps the sipper get down to business. Reviewers suggest pairing this tea with fruit or Turkish delight for a sweet treat.
