Warmth of the Soul Herbal Blend

Warmth of the Soul - loose herbal blend 100 g

Ciepło Duszy is a loose blend of herbs and spices from DivineGoods, designed as an afternoon or evening ritual for cooler days. The composition includes ginger, fennel, rosemary, licorice, cinnamon, lemongrass, and anise - seven ingredients, each contributing a different note to the cup.

The manufacturer describes this composition as a comforting ritual that warms from the inside, and that's exactly how it should be treated: not as another capsule to swallow, but as a moment when you sit down with a hot infusion and slow down. The package weighs 100 g and contains loose dried flower, not tea bags, so you set the strength of the infusion yourself.

The flavor is spicy and naturally sweet, thanks to the licorice, which sweetens the infusion without added sugar, while cinnamon and ginger add a warm, slightly spicy depth. This is a proposal for someone who prefers loose herbs over ready-made sachets and wants to decide how much dried flower to add to the cup that evening.

Ingredients

• Ginger - the warming, spicy base note of the entire composition
• Fennel - a soft, slightly anise-like accent
• Rosemary - a resinous, herbal counterpoint to the sweet ingredients
• Licorice - the natural sweetness of the infusion, without sugar or sweeteners
• Cinnamon - a warm spice
• Lemongrass - citrus freshness at the finish
• Anise - a distinctive note that closes the flavor profile

For a loose blend, this is essentially complete - the rest is determined by the spoon and how long you keep the infusion covered. In practice, the flavor profile is set by three elements: licorice, which pulls the infusion towards sweetness, ginger with cinnamon, which provide spicy sharpness, and lemongrass, which adds a bright, citrus note at the end.

Fennel and anise play very closely together and together build this soft, slightly licorice base, which is sensed after the first sip. Rosemary is the most herbal in this set and prevents the infusion from becoming dessert-like.

However, this entire profile has one condition: the cup must be covered for a full 10-15 minutes, as the volatile oils of cinnamon, anise, and lemongrass escape with the steam, and significantly less remains in the infusion from the seven ingredients.

How to use

The manufacturer provides one preparation method:

• Measure two teaspoons of herbs and add them to a cup or infuser
• Pour 200 ml of boiling water.
• Przykryj naczynie - to zatrzymuje olejki eteryczne w naparze
• Wait 10-15 minutes, then strain the herbs.
• Drink without additives or with a slice of lemon; the infusion is already naturally sweet

For whom

This blend is for those who enjoy a spicy, distinctly herbal infusion and consider tea a part of their daily routine rather than just another item on their supplement list. If you're looking for something for autumn and winter afternoons when coffee is too late, and you want something warm in your cup, this is exactly the profile.

It will also work for someone who prefers loose herbs over bags, as you can measure two teaspoons stronger or weaker, and the infusion will turn out slightly differently each time, depending on what you feel like. However, it should be noted that licorice is a noticeable ingredient here and may not suit everyone, and its use should be consulted if you are on regular medication.

However, this is not a suggestion for pregnant or breastfeeding women without prior consultation with a doctor - the manufacturer states this directly on their product card.

Frequently asked questions

How much dried flower goes into one cup?

The manufacturer recommends two teaspoons of the herb for 200 ml of boiling water. The infusion should be left covered for 10-15 minutes, and only then strained. The cover plays a crucial role here: without it, some of the volatile oils from cinnamon, anise, and lemongrass escape with the steam, resulting in a noticeably flat taste.

Is the blend sweetened?

There is no sugar or sweetener in it. The noticeable sweetness comes from licorice, which is one of the seven ingredients in the blend. This makes the infusion taste dessert-like without any additives, but if you’re not a fan of licorice, it’s worth knowing before purchasing — it’s a note present in every cup.

What does loose dried flower provide instead of bags?

Control over the strength of the infusion. The recommended two teaspoons per cup is a starting point — with loose herbs, you can measure a little less or a little more, and each time you’ll get a slightly different cup, depending on what you feel like. You need a teapot or a strainer for this: pour boiling water directly over the herbs, and after brewing, strain it. The package weighs 100 g.

How to store the dried material after opening?

In a dry and cool place, in a tightly sealed package, away from moisture and direct sunlight — this is what the manufacturer recommends. Loose herbs quickly lose their aroma when left open near the stove or in a sunny spot, so a jar with a good seal in a dark cupboard is a better idea than an open bag.
