(No pun intended.) In fact, the herb counts as one of the nine components in the Nine Herbs Charm, a spell-like Old English charm from the 10th century. An old poem about the charm reads:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA snake came crawling, it bit a man.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThen Woden took nine glory-twigs,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSmote the serpent so that it flew into nine parts.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere apple brought this pass against poison,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThat she nevermore would enter her house\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Woden\", in case you?re wondering, is a pre-Christian Anglo-Saxon deity, a footnote that can well attest to the age of this herb. Interestingly, as the poem mentions, fennel (one of the \"glory-twigs\") is part of a concoction that was said to protect against snake poison, a quality it is also said to possess by practitioners of ancient Chinese medicine. They believed fennel to be likewise beneficial for the kidneys, lower abdominal pain, indigestion and reduced appetite among other things.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStill, the big question for our purposes is, how does fennel taste? The answer is, by the power of Woden... lovely! When brewed on its own, fennel tea imparts distinctive notes of licorice tempered by a sweet, slightly bitter character. As a component of tea and herbal tea blends, you can expect this same slight sweetness and licorice notes to round out the cup and add some lingering depth on the tongue. Enjoy one of the world's oldest, and most celebrated herbs today.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"row sub\"\u003eMetropolitan Tea Company\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq--answer\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Metropolitan Tea","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51074211610939,"sku":"482654","price":7.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/5527\/files\/ABOR-HBSC-265_llt01.jpg?v=1774541344","url":"https:\/\/newmarketnaturalfoods.ca\/products\/fennel-seed-organic","provider":"NewMarket Natural Foods + Kitchen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
