Who are the HotTea Mamas?
Featured ·
February 15 2020
We are Bethan and Kate.
We met at university, and went through some pretty major life changes together. Swapping cocktails for bottles, and handbags for changing bags will definitely bond you together!
Kate had the idea for HotTea Mama, and Bethan had the tea knowledge having been a tea blender for over 12 years. So we have made a range of teas to help women through pregnancy, breastfeeding, motherhood and beyond.
