Teatime Tuesday #16

Welcome back to Teatime Tuesday!

Today’s tea selection is an old favorite, and pretty fitting for February. Aquarius from Adagio Teas is primarily a black tea blend, with flavors of vanilla and hazelnut. It’s a tasty everyday sort of tea. And since all the Aquarians out there are having their birthdays right now, it seemed like it’d be a fun tea to feature on my blog.

I’m a Virgo myself–a triple Virgo, with the sun, moon, and Mercury all in that sign in my birth chart–and possibly the most Virgo-ish person you’ll ever meet, with one complication: my rising sign is Aquarius. I do seem to feel an affinity for Aquarians and for that Zodiac sign in general, the utopian nature it represents. I’ll be honest, though, I mostly bought this tea because the flavors sounded like a delicious combination. You can find all the Zodiac teas from Adagio here.

I recommend Adagio Teas for two reasons: their prices and their customer-made blends, which are especially delightful if you’re into fandoms of any kind. (Seriously, if you like a particular show or movie or book, the odds are very good you can find a tea inspired by your favorite character on their website. And then you can buy it! And think happy fandom thoughts while you sip your cuppa.)

I paired this tea with some cute little shortbread cookies in the shape of Scottie dogs, which were delicious as well. (Also, adorable.)

Thanks for joining me for tea!
