YIKES – a Vatican investigation!!! Whatever shall we do?
Mystic Tea is the inspirational and sometimes comical story of six quirky women living in a rural monastery—all that remain of a community that once thrived. Lost in an emotional and spiritual fog, they struggle daily with faith, friendship, loyalty, obedience, crushing debt, and now an official Vatican investigation. Only a miracle can save them. So where are the miracles?
Can a motley crew of ragtag sisters save the day with unorthodox artistries and magical brews?
There are few possible, yet unlikely, channels for miraculous intervention Mike--the stern but earnest prioress; Gemma--the unstable 30-year-old novitiate with a dark secret; Arielle--the endearing 20-year-old jailhouse convert; and Mother Augusta--the unorthodox elderly mystic who performs unsanctioned rituals and brews her own magical teas. How these eccentric sisters will survive the Vatican’s inquiry is anybody's guess.
Love, courage, and miracles herald a surprising future in this magical tale
This is a contemporary love story between young and old, franchised and disenfranchised, pedestrian and mystic. It is a tale of female empowerment as the sisters struggle to find their way out of the holy crucible in which they are entangled. Miracles are redefined as crises share boundaries with miraculous transformations, and an oppressive past makes way for a surprising future.

Rea Nolan Martin is fast becoming one of my favorite authors. Her ability to blend spiritual elements with complex character development, plot twists, humor and humanity is rare. "Mystic Tea" revolves around a group of nuns and two novices barely keeping their small community up and running. Written in the revolving POV of three main characters, Martin builds a story unlike any other I can recall. Gemma is a young woman who works hard at being the perfect nun, keeping tightly wound. Her fear: she is probably crazy. Arielle arrives on the scene after a jailhouse vision propels her to the monastery, a wayward, yet, sunny soul. Sister Mike serves as the very worried Mother Superior. The Vatican may shut them down any day. Everyone hopes for a miracle, but, the truth is, Sister Mike's faith has been running on empty for a long time. Other characters provide quirks and mystery to the unfolding story. Each character has a destiny to find, a mission to fulfill. Watching them take the journey is a delight to the read. Just the right cup of tea.Product details

Mystic Tea edition by Rea Nolan Martin Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
When I started this book, I had no idea where it was going, there are so many directions it could have in, that I thought I was wasting my time. Well, I am glad I continued reading. The story and characters developed into a great read. I really enjoyed this book. It was not a mystical, spell driven nonsense story, it was well written and enjoyable, and at times a cliffhanger as to what was going to happen to these people next. I recommend you read this book and judge for yourself.
A wonderfully unique and entertaining story. For me being a person that is not religious, this book is all about religion, but done in a very unusual way which I loved.
The story main focus is a run down monastery in upstate New York, and its eclectic group of inhabitants, from Augusta, the mother superior who is an ancient mystic hermit, who can concoct magical teas. Mike the monasteries prioress and a handful of very free spirited nuns, Gemma who has come to the monastery to become a nun, but has a problem hearing voices and is a self punishing novice, and Arielle a young drug addict who after rehab comes to them after having seen and angel, and who strangely enough looks like the saint the place was named after. You will come to love all of these women, who are each trying to find themselves, and in doing so help each other. A very satisfying story.
Confessing my prejudice against what might be chick-lit, I somewhat skeptically started into Rea Nolan Martin’s Mystic Tea after seeing it reviewed by a colleague on the Visionary Fiction Alliance website. I was, however, quickly drawn into its quirky world, inhabited by dopers, grumpy nuns, and genuine mystics, all drawn together into a decaying convent along the Hudson River. And I thoroughly enjoyed its superb blending of all the elements of an excellent story. Rea even wielded the ax against “established” patriarchal religion without coming off like a harridan.
Unlike some visionary fiction that is little more than diluted didacticism, Rea is masterful storyteller whose message, promoting genuine spirituality over stodgy ritualism, is dripped into the reader’s mind by very real characters stumbling hilariously along in their quest for the “meaning of life.” She sneaks the higher dimension (spirituality) into the skeptic’s awareness in the same way that the unseen Universe insinuates Itself into our daily lives, crisis, glimmer or laugh at a time. An excellent application of the Hermetic principle “As above so below. As below so above.”
Highly recommended as a work of visionary fiction in “mod” mode, or just a darn good book, especially if read with a steaming cup of mystic tea.
This was an enjoyable story about a group of women living in a monastery and the Vatican is investigating them. None of the women act typically like nuns. They are all very different and not attuned to normal life in any sense of the word. The story is told from different POV so you see and understand what makes them act the way they do. Even with the changing POV, the story flows and is very easy to follow. The character development is exceptionally well done.These people are very believable and you feel that you know them. And the story is very well written. I understand why the story spent a lot of time on Gemma, but I did get rather tired of her and really did want to just slap her occasionally. Even with that, this is an excellent story and really does need to be read by everyone.
This book is more about character development than plot - not that it doesn't have plot! It does! That's why I like it so much. The characters are real and raw and the plot is surprising in places. What I most appreciate about it is that it colors faith with the many shades of doubt, uncertainty, indefinably, and inexplicable hope that anyone with faith invariably experiences. As a woman of faith I appreciated it very much. I don't know anything about Catholicism, which is the faith presented in this book, so I don't know if it's a fair representation. What I do know is that it was presented in a respectful and honest way that made me like the nuns at the monastery very much.
I loved Arielle and her irreverence. The colorful chorus of nuns makes the monastery feel like home. It was a place I wanted to go and maybe why I finished the book in 2 days! I didn't want to put it down. It's definitely a book written for women to appreciate but it could be enjoyed by an open-minded man.
It blends mysticism with Catholicism in a seamless way. There are some very deep thoughts an musings presented from the different women. It's a very philosophical book. Mother Augusta and her mystic teas draw together the plot threads and bundle them up, steep them in mystery, and get served piping hot at the end. There are no cliff-hangers or unresolved plot-lines. The end is satisfying. I cried a bit... not gonna lie. I would recommend this to anyone who likes a satisfying read and a feel-good ending.
