Description
It’s the final trimester and you are getting prepared to meet your little life-changer. Our blend of Raspberry Leaves sweetened by Peppermint will give you a yummy version of raspberry leaf tea that has been used for millennia to prepare the body for labour. Perfect for pregnant women in their third trimester and for recovering post birth. It makes an ideal baby shower gift, something lovely that is just for the Mum to be.
Raspberry leaf is reputed to help prepare and strengthen your uterus for labour. This is because of the high levels of vitamins and minerals that it contains.
*Only consume from 32 weeks of pregnancy onwards.
Taste
- Refreshingly minty and herbaceous
- Raspberry leaf does not taste like raspberries! It has a flavour akin to green tea, with subtle vegetal notes and a slight bitterness.
- Whole leaf peppermint is sweeter and with a more intense mint flavour compared to a traditional tea bag.
- In combination, they have a sweet and herby taste, with a thick mouthfeel. Delicious!
- We don’t recommend adding milk or sugar, but follow your cravings and personal taste!

About Hottea Mama
Taken from Hotttea Mama:
We met 10 years ago in the dreaming spires of Oxford. We went for coffee, drank incredibly strong cocktails and opened bottles of wine every weekend.
Then we got pregnant.
We changed to drinking bland cups of decaf and sickly sweet sodas while our partners and single friends had flat whites and espresso martinis. We downed bucket loads of raspberry leaf dusty tea bags as our due dates got closer, and once our babies arrived and our milk supply was low, we tried boiling handfuls of fennel to help boost it. We put on the kettle at 5am, 6am, 7am, 8am, 9am…
Every time we were unceremoniously covered in vomit or worse, paint was plastered on cream carpet or crayons scribbled on the wall, tea was our go to friend. Boiling the kettle gave us respite from the mania of toddler-hood but the resulting cuppas were often hugely disappointing.
It was shortly before baby number 2 that Kate realised that someone really should be making tasty, caffeine-free teas for women like us. Especially ones that had added benefits for pregnancy and motherhood.
Luckily, Bethan had been a tea taster and buyer since graduating and knew how to put together a range of delicious herbal and fruit blends that would fit the bill.
3 children later, and together we have created biodegradable whole leaf tea bags, each containing natural, tasty ingredients specially designed to support your body in the most rewarding and challenging time of your life. That said, they’re delicious and our husbands enjoy them with no shame that they’re raiding our stash.
Ready in the time it takes to change a nappy, they’re the perfect alternative to mother’s ruin and we hope you love them as much as we do.
Why We Love it
Delicious and perfect. I usually drink tea with sugar or sweetener but this one tastes good enough to be drunk without adding a single thing.
I really like it and enjoy having a nice brew with a refreshing taste.

Parent Review
Mamta & Ian
Overall: I couldn’t decide if a tea would actually make a difference to my supply but thought I’d give it a go. I’ve been breastfeeding exclusively for 4 months and as we’re in the delightful sleep regression phase, plus just has a cold, my supply is quite up and down first thing. Not enough to affect feeding baby but enough to not express after the morning feed (building my freezer stock for various baby free outings). Anyway! It seems to have helped already! Plus the tea is delicious!
