TAURUS. There Is A Rose In Spanish Harlem. herbal tea blend

There Is a Rose in Spanish Harlem is a tea blend for Taurus. The title is inspired by the song Spanish Harlem by Ben E. King.

Taurus, the bull, and the first Earth sign of the zodiac is a fixed one & ruled by Venus and a little lunar. This extremely venus ruled creature of abundance & fertility is very sensual and big in some definitive way. She takes her time, thinks in the long term and is known for her practicality and getting things done! She also takes her time assessing the reserves, the vital reserves of actual substances and also emotions in and out of the body. The vital reserve.

This second sign of the zodiac rules the throat, jaw, taste buds, voice and inner ear. She also rules the jugular, blood vessels and instinct to procreate. Patterns of tipping the balance will often represent in every day throat ailments, but also excessive intake…of food & sweets or alcohol for example.

Nettles, plantain, burdock, pink peppercorn, blue vervain, rose, thyme, collinsonia, sage, stevia.

So we’ve blended a subtly stimulating, grounding, liver detoxifying tea that is very supportive to the throat & voice. In this case, we got nettles & plantain working for support over the long haul, bitter blue vervain to stimulate digestion & release tension in the jaw/neck region. Pink peppercorn because she’s pretty, floral & got a good sturdy glint of spice—same with rose in way. Also, every bull needs a rose. Aromatic thyme & sage work together to push break up and move the foods that might be coming in (with sage an excellent ally to digest fats and move water through the process of osmosis)…and finally stevia to sweeten this blend while contrarily curbing the desire for sugar!
