Deny it as much as you want, but deep down\nwe all know there\u2019s some eerie, undefinable connection between our\npersonalities and our astrological signs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t have to be a diehard believer,\nhave your chart memorized or know your partner\u2019s moon sign in order to get a\nkick out of your horoscope. But you do have to have a little trust in the\nuniverse\u2019s mysterious, mystical ways. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As someone once told us, \u201cThink of zodiac\nsings as a guideline to people\u2019s personalities, not the whole truth.\u201d With that\nthought in mind, we present to you, the tea equivalent of your zodiac sign. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still skeptical? Scroll down to see just\nhow much about you is written in the stars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Capricorn <\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tea: <\/strong>Matcha Matsu<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traits: <\/strong>Wise, dependable, disciplined, generous and\npretentious <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hostess (or host) with the mostess, the generous Capricorn will invite you over, make the most delicious treats (our Superfudge Candy Cane Crush Brownies<\/u><\/strong><\/a> comes to mind) and offer you a perfectly whisked cup of Matcha Matsu to wash it down. The ceremonial history of the tea speaks to the disciplined Capricorn\u2019s love of principles. Add to that the fact that matcha has a cult following and you\u2019ve got the perfect tea for our loveable, pretentious pals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aquarius <\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tea: <\/strong>Organic Nepal Black<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traits: <\/strong>Visionary, independent, eccentric, idealist and\ncharitable<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When your glass is half-empty, Aquarius\nwill tell you it\u2019s half-full. Charitable, idealistic and often the most\noptimistic person in the room, they\u2019re the person to turn to when you\u2019re in\ndire need of a pep talk. Nepal Black might not sound like the most eccentric or\nout-of-the-ordinary tea, but it has other qualities. The tea garden of Nepal\nBlack has created a number of community programs that benefit local schools,\nunderprivileged families and the elderly. Rich, sweet and with hints of honey,\nit\u2019s the ideal brew for those who believe in real change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pisces <\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tea: <\/strong>Sheng Pu\u2019erh<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traits: <\/strong>Perceptive, creative, emotional and indecisive <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best known for crying when no one\u2019s\nwatching and zoning out while you tell them your inner most secrets, Pisces can\nbe a funny fish. Emotional, creative and yet indecisive, there\u2019s nothing they\nlike more than daydreaming about how things could be better. Just like our\nperceptive but moody Pieces, Sheng Pu\u2019erh is sensitive. There\u2019s a good chance\nno two cups will brew the same, but given a little time and patience, the taste\nand flavour of the leaves will evolve \u2013 and\nso will Pisces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aries<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tea: <\/strong>Vanilla Orchid<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traits: <\/strong>Hearty, enterprising, naive, artistic and indulgent<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aries can be difficult to pin down, not because they\u2019re hiding\nfrom the truth, but because they\u2019re constantly on the move. Don\u2019t be surprised\nto find them free climbing your building or signing up for a desert marathon\nfor the challenge. Hearty and artistic, they have a healthy naivety, which\nmeans no, they did not think free climbing your building was creepy. But they\u2019re happy you let them in to enjoy a little\nVanilla Orchid tea. Vanilla is a comforting flavour for them, both basic and\nindulgent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taurus <\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tea: <\/strong>Bai Hao Yin Zhen<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traits: <\/strong>Patient, industrious, sensual and dependable<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not sure what to get the Taurus in your\nlife? Start with the most expensive, extravagant gift you can afford and go\nwith that. Known as \u201ca lover of fine things,\u201d Taureans can spot a fake from\nmiles away, so best to get them something thoughtful that you can hand-deliver\nlate at night after they\u2019ve cancelled your dinner plans. Patient and\ndependable, they\u2019ll make you a cup of Bai Hao Yin Zhen, a fine white tea that\nwas once reserved for Emperors. Diligently harvested bud by bud, this tea has a\nfine silver down making it the right amount of special. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gemini <\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tea: The Buzz<\/u><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traits: <\/strong>Energetic, clever, versatile and flexible<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we turn off our brains for the\nnight, versatile Geminis like to reminisce about everything they did that day\nand second guess every action. Good thing they have boundless energy and\nendless charisma to mask their underlying anxiety. Quick-witted and\nhigh-energy, they\u2019re experts at saying the right (and the wrong) thing. With\nspicy ginger and refreshing lemon, The Buzz has a dual personality and enough\nstimulating ingredients \u2013 ginseng,\nguarana, mat\u00e9, matcha \u2013 to match a Gemini\u2019s energy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cancer<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tea: Organic North African Mint<\/u><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traits: <\/strong>Dependable, helpful, kind, caring and affectionate<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heartbroken? Feeling blue? Caring Cancer\nwill immediately call in sick so that they can nurse you through even the\ntiniest bouts of illness. Not only will they relish every second of it, they\u2019ll\nmake the experience so pleasant and comforting, you\u2019ll never want it to end.\n(And, to be honest, neither will they.) To help you get over whatever it is,\nthey\u2019ll brew up some North African Mint, which is excellent for everything from\nsore throats to digestion and like Cancers, will soothe all your woes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leo<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tea: Organic Emerald Jade<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traits:<\/strong> Noble, loyal, warm, vain and self-satisfied<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every day is a party when you\u2019re a Leo.\nBecause what better way to celebrate your existence than with a party every day\nof the week? It could be as simple as a midday trip to the spa, or a Wednesday\nevening surprise party for you-know-who. Little things to remind you that, YOU\nARE ALIVE! Warm and loyal, Leos never worry about being alone, mostly because\nthey\u2019ve been cultivating friendships since the womb. Not unlike the Leo in your\nlife, Emerald Jade\u2019s catchy name and loveable flavour make it a dependable and\nloyal tea that isn\u2019t afraid of being the centre of attention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virgo<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tea: Organic Earl Grey<\/u><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traits: <\/strong>Courteous, practical, meticulous and a little snobby<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before you go too far and call Virgos the\nmost boring astrological sign, let us remind you that without courteous,\npractical Virgos the world would be a much messier place. Literally and\nfiguratively. Laugh all you want at their colour-coded filing systems,\npunctuality and meticulous closets (oh, you thought Marie Kondo invented\nfolding?), when you need to declutter or purge, who do you call? Thank the\nVirgos in your life for their loyalty and constant decorum with a cup of\nperfectly steeped Earl Grey (it\u2019s a classic!) served in the finest bone china. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Libra <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tea: Guangzhou Milk Oolong<\/u><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traits: <\/strong>Just, balanced, idealistic, aesthetic and charming <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re unsure about the taste level of\na newly decorated room or would like an unsolicited opinion about your\npartner\u2019s attractiveness, ask a Libra. Idealistic, balanced and just, they\u2019ll\ngive it to you straight with a healthy dose of charm. They may, for example,\ncritique your (questionable) decorating skills over a cup or two of Guangzhou\nMilk Oolong tea  \u2013 the perfect balance\nbetween a flavoured and traditional tea \u2013 it\u2019s so charming you almost won\u2019t\nhear it when they tell you the room is unlivable. Most importantly, it looks\namazing in a cup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scorpio<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tea: <\/a>Organic David\u2019s Chai<\/u><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traits: <\/strong>Dedicated, magnetic, disciplined, mysterious and sexy<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a scale of one to five, how dedicated\nare you? Take your answer, multiply it by 10 and you\u2019re still nowhere near\nScorpio\u2019s level of total and utter dedication to any task they take on. What\nexactly are they working on you ask? They\u2019ll never tell you. Like the\ningredients that make David\u2019s Chai tea extra special, Scorpios are mysterious.\nThey\u2019re also disciplined secret keepers who love nothing more than keeping\nthings on the down-low just for the fun of it. Sadly, everyone will now know,\njust how much they love a little spice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sagittarius<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tea<\/strong>: Organic Happy Valley Darjeeling<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traits:<\/strong> Cheerful, honourable, enthusiastic, outspoken and\ncontradictory<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fight or Flight? That\u2019s the Sagittarius\u2019\ndaily struggle. Cheerful and enthusiastic, they may look as though they\u2019re\nenjoying your company, but (not so) deep down they\u2019re plotting their imminent\nescape. The Alps, perhaps or a Yurt in Mongolia? They tried the Tulum yoga\nretreat thing last year but couldn\u2019t handle the vow of silence and only lasted\nthree days. The Darjeeling hills in India are unique and fantastic enough to do\nthe trick. Picking tea leaves high in the mountains sounds deliriously exciting\nand also, delicious \u2013 giving the black tea notes of plum and apricot.
