The leaves of the raspberry bush have been used for millennia to support women's wellness and particularly to prepare the body at the end of pregnancy. From 32 weeks at the earliest, this tea can be drunk as a way to prepare to meet your baby. We blend our raspberry leaf with whole peppermint leaf, to help with digestion and heartburn/acid reflux when you're full of baby! But also to improve the flavour as raspberry leaf on it's own is hard to drink. - Whole leaf tea: HotTea Mama sources only the finest, whole botanicals, for the biggest flavour and health benefits - 40% raspberry leaf: the perfect balance for flavour and health benefit. 60% whole peppermint - to support digestive issues at the end of pregnancy, heartburn and acid reflux can all be naturally eased with peppermint - Red raspberry leaf tea is not red - just to be confusing! But the leaves of the bush are high in fragerine which is linked in studies to shortening the second stage of labour. - Caffeine-free: suitable for low or no caffeine diets - Low tannin: traditional dust tea bags are high in tannin. In comparison this whole leaf tea blend is smooth and rich in flavour - natural ingredients: there are no sneaky flavourings or additives in this blend - Plant based: all HotTea Mama packaging, including the tea bags, are derived from cornstarch or wood pulp. They can be composted and are as good for mother nature as they are for all the mothers who drink our tea Plastic free - HotTea Mama tea bags are micro-plastic free, and we do not use plastic in any of our packaging - Drink from 32 weeks of pregnancy onwards HotTea Mama was founded by best friends Bethan and Kate in 2017, to support their wellness needs - one cup of tea at a time. Using Bethan's career as a tea blender and her degree in Tea Science (yes, it's a thing!), they source the finest, whole leaf, organic botanicals, to create award-winning wellness tea for any and all times of life. HotTea Mama is women-owned, women-run and women focussed. But everyone who needs a cuppa is welcome! The benefits, and deliciousness, of our speciality teas have no limits.
