Soul of the Rose from Sacred Rose I have to say that Sacred Rose Herbal Teas are probably the most unique and interesting teas I’ve seen in all my years of reviewing teas. They only have (at the time of this review) eight custom hand-blended teas, but the quality, preparation and packaging of these teas is what sets them apart from the rest.

First let me tell you a little about this one-of-a-kind company and how they prepare their teas. I can completely appreciate all the effort and thought they put into their teas, not only as a tea lover and tea reviewer, but also as a woman who appreciates herbal tisanes with an metaphysical quality.

I recently spoke with Maria Pologeorgis, the owner of Sacred Rose® about her company, and we spoke at some length about this particular blend, which is geared towards your emotions and spirit as much as your body. We discussed how a tea can assist with an ‘emotional cleansing’, if you will, as well as the herbs helping your physical being*, and this particular tea is geared toward intimate healing of the soul. It focuses on the rose, which has been symbolic of the feminine since ancient times. This tea encourages you to embrace your feminine self! I was very impressed with the amount of love and energy Maria has put into Sacred Rose®.

I see this as a MAJOR up and coming tea company…definitely one to keep your eye on. If you would like to contact Sacred Rose, you may do so at (631)651-8292.

The Sacred Rose® website tells us this about the company:

Welcome to Sacred Rose® Organic Herbal Teas: a conscious living company honoring the communiqué of Gaia and her sacred plant relations. We provide light infused beverages to the conscious consumer.

Plants & Consciousness
All creation holds a vibratory frequency. Plants are themselves living systems of transformed light. Plant spirits have made a hospitable place for us to inhabit through there life cycles of oxygenation. Light vibrations are continuously emitted from the life force of plants. Plants also nourish us through their language of color, taste and aroma.

The Sacred Rose company prepares all of their eight tea blends with both light and crystals. What does this mean to the average tea consumer? Well it all depends on how you view your tea. Herbs and herbal teas have been used for centuries in holistic medicine, and to heal the body, mind and spirit. Sacred Rose® Organic Herbal Teas are prepared in such a way that they soothe the mind and spirit as well as providing a cup of very delicious caffeine-free herbal tea.

Sacred Rose tells us a little about the holistic uses* of herbal teas here:

Herbal Teas are ancient holistic remedies utilized by our ancestress lineage. In many lands and in many places women communed with Gaia in reverence of her wisdom. Plants give healing powers to those who study them, work with them and respect them.

Sacred Rose® Organic Herbal Teas are blended to hold specific patterns of light frequency.

Each Sacred Rose® blend infuses and activates a specific physical, mental, emotional and spiritual pattern for those who drink these healing blends. This is achieved through the senses, both with the taste and aroma of the blends. Sacred Rose® teas are consciously blended honoring the indwelling of light on our planet, in our living Gaia; communing with us as we are ready to receive their inspiration.

Sacred Rose® teas create a vibratory resonance in the locale were the teas are being brewed. We highly recommend you allow your tea to breathe. Infuse the air of your home with your blend of choice. Brew and drink your tea with conscious choice attuning yourself to the living light frequency of your most favored Sacred Rose® Organic Herbal Tea blend.

Personally speaking, I fully appreciate all the time, preparation and effort they put into to creating their tea blends. What an incredible tea company!! Now let me tell you a little about this specific tea blend they’ve created…what might be considered their “house blend”, Soul of the Rose.

The first thing that struck me immediately about Sacred Rose teas is their packaging. Never have I seen such elegant packaging for teas. They arrive in a GORGEOUS, high quality beautiful brown box which is tied with a gorgeous, thick silken pink ribbon. Inside the box, the teas are packaged in a cellophane packaging. The only downside to this is storage of the tea.

Ideally, teas of any kind should be stored in an air-tight, opaque (light-free) environment so as to retain flavor and aroma for as long as possible. For this reason, even though the teas arrive in the most gorgeous and elegant of packaging, I would recommend transferring the tea to a tea canister or other air-tight jar when you open the internal packaging to use the tea. You will be keeping the beautiful pink and brown boxes they come in though, they are perfect for storing treasures!

Sacred Rose describes this tea as:

Soul of the Rose® – a sensual blend of cloves, alfalfa, rose hips and pink rose buds which transmutes trauma into peace and joy and is especially beneficial to survivors of sexual abuse. This blend is especially therapeutic with Sacral Chakra issues.

Soul of the Rose® balances the yin yang of the bodymind as it assists the sensual body: taste, touch, smell, sight to open to more intimate levels of healing.

In the times of the Goddess, cryptic symbols were utilized to direct lost souls on the path of consciousness. The Rose is one of those symbols.

The Rose is symbolic of sacred female sexuality. In ancient Goddess culture, the five-petal Rose represents the five phases of female life: birth, menstruation, motherhood, menopause, and death.

The Rose is also an anagram for Eros, the Greek God of sexual love. Rose and Eros unified are Hieros Gamos, sacred marriage.

The blossoming Rose personifies the blessed womb.

Soul of the Rose® is a delicate and joyful Sacred Rose® Organic Herbal Blend of cloves, alfalfa, rose hips, and pink rose buds. It facilitates trauma into peace and joy and is especially beneficial for survivors of sexual abuse.

This tea smells and looks so inviting and lovely! If you love roses, or floral teas, this is an absolute must-have tea. I’ve never seen anything quite like it! The majority of the tea is dried green alfalfa, which makes this tea have a little bit of “dust” in it, but it only intensifies the fragrance. The alfalfa is a lovely, light and smooth base for this tea. It has a smooth grassy flavor that is naturally sweet and compliments the rose flavors perfectly.

Alfalfa is also a folk remedy* for arthritis, diabetes, asthma, hay fever, and is alleged to be a good appetite stimulant and overall tonic. It is a good source of minerals, chlorophyll, vitamins and is is high in chlorophyll. The leaves contain eight essential amino acids. It has proven itself to be a good laxative and a natural diuretic. It is useful in the treatment of urinary tract infections, kidney, bladder and prostrate disorders. It alkalizes and detoxifies the body, especially the liver. Alfalfa promotes pituitary gland function and contains an anti-fungus agent.

Along with the alfalfa base, this tea also contains plenty of roses, as you might imagine. The rose flavor is very prominent, as is the aroma of fresh pink roses. The rosebuds, rose petals and rose hips make this tea an exquisitely rose flavored tea. Very floral, and very feminine! And along with the roses and alfalfa are cloves, which add a warmth and spiciness to the background of the tea, and give it a little added “zing”.

I won’t lie, this tea is 100% floral, and all roses and femininity. If you hate heavy florals, you might look elsewhere, but if you enjoy floral teas, and roses, give this one a try! Sacred Rose took the idea of a “rose tea” then infused it with light vibrations and crystals to make it into a tisane that is perfect for a woman’s mind and spirit. Smooth, naturally sweet, and romantic. A PERFECT Valentine’s Day blend!
