Silver Flow Herbal Tea

Description:

A soothing, cooling infusion of willow bark, meadowsweet, rosehip & licorice brewed to ease inflammation & soften the body's heaviness. 

Taste Profile

Below is a pure sensory taste profile, assuming hot, unsweetened, and carefully brewed to avoid over extraction.

Aroma

Deep, herbal, and slightly medicinal. Willow bark leads with a woody, forest floor scent. Meadowsweet adds a soft almond meadow sweetness in the background, while rosehip contributes a faint fruity tang. Licorice appears as a gentle, warm sweetness rather than a dominant scent.

First Sip

Grounded and immediately assertive. The opening is woody and dry, driven by willow bark’s bark and root character. Almost at once, licorice softens the edges, rounding the initial dryness and preventing sharpness.

Mid Palate

The blend unfolds with more complexity:

Willow bark provides structure and firmness, slightly bitter and tannic.

Meadowsweet introduces a mellow sweetness, subtly floral and almond like, easing the bitterness.

Rosehip adds a light, tart fruity brightness, lifting the center of the palate.

Licorice continues to knit everything together with a low, lingering sweetness. The profile feels deliberate and steady, not delicate.

Aromatic Layer

Low and grounded aromatics dominate. Meadowsweet contributes a soft, sweet meadow note, while willow bark stays earthy and resinous. Aromatics are supportive rather than expressive, it's more grounding than uplifting.

Body

Medium to medium full body. The mouthfeel is firm and slightly gripping, especially from willow bark, with licorice adding smoothness. It feels weighty and substantial, coating the palate lightly.

Sweetness

Low to moderate natural sweetness. Licorice root provides the clearest sweetness, balanced by meadowsweet’s gentle softness. The sweetness is earthy and slow building, not bright or sugary.

Bitterness

Moderate, herbal bitterness. Willow bark is the primary source, it's woody, dry and medicinal rather than sharp. Meadowsweet and licorice keep the bitterness controlled and rounded.

Finish

Long, dry, and grounding. Woody bitterness fades gradually, leaving a soft licorice sweetness and faint fruity echo from rosehip. The finish feels steady and anchoring rather than refreshing.

Overall Impression

A serious, grounded, and structurally strong herbal infusion. Woody bitterness and bark like depth form the backbone, softened by gentle sweetness and light fruit.
