Mama’s Milk Botanical Tea

Mama’s Milk Botanical Tea

Mama’s Milk Botanical Tea is a caffeine-free, loose-leaf herbal tisane featuring eleven botanicals traditionally associated with women’s herbal preparations.

The blend combines leafy herbs, oat botanicals, aromatic seeds, flowers, and warming ginger to create a distinctive infusion with a mellow, earthy character.

Red raspberry leaf, nettle, oat tops, and oat straw form a softly herbaceous foundation. Fennel, fenugreek, and cardamom contribute gently sweet aromatic notes, while hibiscus adds a delicate tartness. Hops flower and motherwort contribute further botanical depth, complemented by the warmth of ginger.
