Wise Woman | Blend for Life's Transitions

Bitter, herbal and unapologetically green. This is not a sweet tea and it is not trying to be. Wise Woman is built for thresholds, the seasons where one part of life is closing and the next has not arrived.

What's In It

Motherwort, lion's tail, protection for the heart, and the bitterest thing in the cup by some distance. Nettle Leaf, warding and deep green weight. Sage Leaf, wisdom and clearing, dry and savoury and warm. Vitex Berries, monk's pepper, containment and holding your own counsel, warm and peppery. Mugwort, cronewort, dreams and divination, with a sharp camphor-sage bite. Horsetail, shavegrass, structure and ancestral wisdom, faintly mineral. Lemon Balm, the one soft note, and the reason the blend is drinkable.

Spiritual Properties

Worked with for transitions, endings and the authority that comes with having been through something. A cup for taking your own advice.

To Brew

One tablespoon per cup. Pour water just off the boil and steep five to seven minutes, longer if you want it stronger. Strain and sweeten to taste.

Good to Know

Caffeine free.

Drink It With

NORA is the gentler green cup for the long haul, and Moontime the one for a single hard week. Mugwort and motherwort are both on the shelf loose. For the threshold itself, the Ancestral Connection Ritual Kit. Browse the rest of the tea shelf.

Important Notes

The associations described here are traditional and folkloric. This is a tea, not a drug, supplement or medicine, and nothing here is meant to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent anything.

Not for use during pregnancy, and not while nursing, since sage has a long history of reducing milk supply. Contains vitex, which acts on hormones, so leave it alone if you are on hormonal birth control or HRT without asking your doctor first. Contains horsetail, which is not a herb for long uninterrupted stretches. Motherwort can increase menstrual flow.
