Happy Mama Tea (kk)

In celebration of the vernal equinox this year we are offering a sale on all of our teas for the month of September. For every 8oz or 16oz bag of tea you purchase (September 1-30) we will throw in a 4oz bag (tea of your choice) for free.  We hope this will be a great way for you to try new varieties while enjoying old favorites. 
      Our Happy Mama tea brews into a rich dark green and has a lovely earthy scent. The herbs are organic or wild crafted and intended to nourish new mothers during the first weeks and months postpartum.  The raspberry leaf is believed to be an excellent uterine toner while the alfalfa and nettle are full of minerals vital to baby making.  I love to collect herbs during my travels and have used my supply of alfalfa, lady’s mantle, motherwort, nettle and red raspberry leaf in making this tea.   The nettle and motherwort were found amongst our raspberry patch at the nursery.  While I was surprised to find lady’s mantle growing next to the barn at the horse farm where I harvest the alfalfa.  It certainly seemed like these herbs would be as happy together in a tea as they were in growing.  The tea can be enjoyed hot or iced.   I know one mama that likes to mix it with lemonade and sip it all day long. 

We use plain plastic bags to package our teas. This saves on shipping for you. All of our teas are made to order so if you would like to add or omit something just let us know.  You can get yours
