Blender's Notes: Mildly minty and was created by the founder, in collaboration with her Nurse Midwife and Obstetrician to help support the milk-making (lactation) process after childbirth and for months afterwards. She says, "this tea was my daily go-to hydration choice, supported relaxation and the necessary "let-down" process known well by mothers and lactation consultants." Naturally caffeine-free.

Remember when ordering loose leaf teas, there are approximately 400-450 eight-ounce servings per pound (1 oz. of loose-leaf tea or tisane makes 25-30 eight-ounce servings). Many of our teas can be re-steeped at least 1x times.
