Thumbs up! "A minty note greeted the tongue first, toasty nuttiness followed close behind, and the last passengers off the "flavor bus" were unidentifiably herbacious."

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.

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.
