Today is one of those days where I could really use a do-over card. On these days, I have found that grounding and centering myself really seems to help. And I do use tea to help in this process. Since I just happened to have a sample of an herbal blend that is specifically designed for this, I decided to give it a try.

Mother Earth Zest is a blend comprised of ginger, spearmint, fennel and sage. According to the website it assists in bringing a sense of fullness and grounding to our lives. It is also supposed to help with digestion. Looking at my sample, it is rather green with smaller bits of dried herbs. The aroma is predominantly spearmint with just a touch of ginger.

The brewing instructions call for one teaspoon of the blend added to boiling water and let steep for three to five minutes. Since I tend to prefer my herbals stronger, I decided to let it steep for five minutes. The infusion is a pale cloudy green with a strong aroma of spearmint with a hint of sage coming out.

When it is very hot the brightness of the spearmint and the spiciness of the ginger play nicely on the tip of the tongue. As the blend starts to cool, the flavors start to blend more and I am able to pick up the sage also. I am not able to find the fennel though I am sure that it is part of the marriage of tastes.

I find this to be a very enjoyable herbal blend that I will probably keep around the house just to sip and to also use for grounding. Though I will recommend to ensure that you enjoy spearmint before giving this blend a try.

I found myself quite attracted to this blend, simply for the word "zest" in the title. Something about that word just screams, "I haz a happy!" Poor kitten-like grammar included. The blend contained ginger, spearmint (my favorite mint), fennel and sage. This seemed like a very herbaceous but appetizing combination. Ginger and fennel had very nuanced profiles (if loud), and spearmint and sage were more calming. The yin-yang of it all might work to the blend's benefit.

The fusion certainly worked for the aroma. Spearmint, ginger and sage did something to my nose that made it relax in ecstasy. It was like freebasing Indo-Greek toothpaste.

Brewing instructions verbatim from the SR website: "To retain the aroma & flavor of Sacred Rose® Organic Herbal Teas infuse one teaspoon of your favorite Sacred Rose® Blend into one cup of boiling water for 3-5 minutes." I did exactly that with the heavier-set brewing time.

The liquor brewed up the way a lot of Sacred Rose "teas" did - to a foggy, yellow-green. Explanation? They're herbs, and that - apparently - is herb-color. Moving along. The aroma for this was majestic and calming at the same time. Spearmint took point, then ginger pushed it off the pirate plank. As for the fennel and sage, maybe they'd show up in the taste. And show, they did! Fennel gave the initial tonguedown a nutty/creamy lean, allowing for the refreshing spearmint/sage middle. Ginger spiciness took up the rear. This was positively awesome. I want it as a breath mint.

The promise extolled by Sacred Rose about Clearing Tea is that it helps rid the body of unwanted thoughts, feelings, and (on the physical front) detoxifies the colon. The blend's primary goal is to provide cathartic release of stress and trauma and the physical maladies that come with it. If there was ever a month I needed a "tea" like this...it was this one.

The blend included black walnut bark, taheebo, spearmint, sage and rose hips. Taheebo is another name for lapacho (Pau D'arco) - the inner lining of a tree native to Central and South America. I've had it in two different forms before, and found the taste neutral-to-agreeable. It's "technically" wood and tastes like it, but many health properties are associated with it. The other ingredients were known to be on the holistic front except for black walnut bark. No clue what that was there to contribute.

The boldest presence on smell was the spearmint, which often emits an odor like toothpaste. This time - in conjunction with the woodier elements in the batch - it smelled like peppermint. Green leaves dominated the blend's visual array but reddish lapacho strips and rose hips did make their presence known.

Brewing for all Sacred Rose blends called for 1 teaspoon of herb to 1 cup of boiled water with a steep of three-to-five minutes. I was too tired to change things up, so I went with their recommendations to the letter. Generally, with herbals, I would've gone for six minutes, but I wasn't sure of how some of the elements would handle it.

The liquor brewed chestnut brown, which was something I was not expecting at all. I assumed the walnut bark had something to do with that. None of the other elements - even the lapacho - would've resulted in a cup that color. The aroma had several layers; spearmint dialed in first, followed by something equal parts creamy and woody. I had no idea what I was in for and took a precarious sip. A minty note greeted the tongue first, toasty nuttiness followed close behind, and the last passengers off the "flavor bus" were unidentifiably herbacious.

I can say it was a relaxing beverage with a smooth delivery, and that seems to be the case with almost all of Sacred Rose's blends. Some skimp on taste for health properties, but they're all smooth for the most part. This, at least, was smooth and satisfying. Dunno if it did anything cathartic to me, though, other than a sigh of relief with the sip.

A little background. No, not on the blend just yet, but the events leading up to trying the blend. I had just made a run to Jack in the Box and was belching fire. (Damn you, spicy chicken sammich!) The time I got home? Midnight. So, technically, it was morning by the time I tried Morning Blossom.

I found it odd that it was named as such, given its ingredients - peppermint, spearmint, rose, ginger and alfalfa. Neither spearmint or peppermint can be considered wake-up herbs by any stretch, or rose for that matter. Ginger? I suppose that "could" have zing to it, and I can't say I know much about alfalfa other than its status as herbivore bait.

Most of the ingredients of the blend were readily apparent. Peppermint and spearmint took up the leafy leverage, while purple flecks of rose, beige alfalfa, and bits of ginger rounded it out. As for the aroma, no surprise there. Peppermint cleaned out the sinuses with the fluoride-like spearmint picking up the leftovers.

Brewing instructions for all of Sacred Rose's tisanes called for 1 teaspoon per cup and a steep of three-to-five minutes. Like with all the others, I obeyed the recommendations to the letter and infused at the greater length of time.

The liquor brewed to a very bold, foggy prime-yellow. Can't say I've ever run into either a tea or tisane that ever yellowed this much. It almost makes me wish there was snow to pour it on, so as to trick passersby. (End of inappropriate joke. Moving on.) The aroma had a citrusy profile, which is odd since there weren't any lemony herbs in the mix. Best guess I could make was the mint-muted ginger. The mints and ginger carried through almost undeterred to the taste. All three dominated the front and middle, whereas the finish was...something else. Floral maybe? I dunno. In short, it earned a very big "LIKE!".

Thumbs up! "A blend of earthy herbal ingredients, offset by a minty potency. Ginger, spearmint, fennel and sage combine to present a definitive spiciness to the nose. An earthy-yet-tangy zing on the nose and in the cup."

Sacred Rose appears to be based out of eastern Long Island, and they are all about utilizing organic herbs to heal the mind, body and soul. Their statements about their products, deeply rooted in New Age spirituality, may be a little far-fetched for non-believers, but Sacred Rose does produced some delicious and interesting blends - mystical powers or not.

Mother Earth Zest is a blend of earthy herbal ingredients, offset by a minty potency. Ginger, spearmint, fennel and sage are all blended (after being apparently finely ground, as the only recognizable bits of this blend are shredded green leaves and a greenish-yellow dusty powder). The scent of the dried herbs has a definitive spiciness to the nose - the mint is evident, as is an earthy-yet-tangy zing. Referring back to the purported holistic properties, this tea is said to be "healing to the root chakra," and is also reported to aid in digestion.

A 5-minute infusion with boiling water brings out the best in this tisane. The liquor is a pale and murky green-yellow with a cloudy green-tea-like appearance, and a similar aroma to that of the dried blend, but with a bit more "funky" smell to it -- in an intriguing way, not quite off-putting.

I'm not sure if it's my palette playing tricks on me, or chalk it up to the natural settling of the ingredients, but the first half-dozen cups of this tea (in the late PM) have been minty and refreshing, with a taste emphasis on the spearmint with a touch of fennel. Now, the last two cup (mid-day) have a much more prominent spiciness and earthiness from the sage and ginger. I'm almost certain it's the latter (settled ingredients), as the last swig in the cup contains quite a bit of dusty settlings and has a higher-potency of that earthiness. Those who prefer their mint teas crisp and clean may want to avoid this one, but for those with a sense of adventure and intrigue, the blend here raises a few eyebrows and provides a unique flavor.

Over the last week or two, this tea has been my go-to cup when reaching for a 10 PM tisane. It makes for a relaxing and tasty cuppa while reading a book in bed before drifting off for some shut-eye. I recommend shaking the container to ensure proper distribution of all ingredients.
