TASTING NOTES

Warming, spicy – almost savoury, in a good way

Fenugreek gives this blend a wonderful balance of sweet and bitter notes, with it’s aroma of dark, almost burnt caramel.

Fennel, Anise and Lemon Verbena add to it’s sweetness, with rosemary and nettle giving it a warming, earthy note.

It’s probably the most complex tea in our range, but utterly delicious.

We don’t recommend adding milk or sugar, but follow your cravings and personal taste!

Infusion Instructions

We don’t recommend adding milk, and this isn’t meant to be ironic

As each bag contains whole leaves, flowers and fruit pieces, don’t throw it away after one brew.

Add water to each bag at least twice to get the most out of the botanicals.

I just wanted to say thanks for your products. I'm 8 months into breastfeeding and have used your Milk's Up tea from the first few weeks. Never had a supply issue and baby is a big boy! We even took a box of tea on our first family holiday last week!

Frequently Asked Questions

How can galactagogues support your breastfeeding journey?

The only guaranteed way to increase your milk supply when breastfeeding, is to increase the demand for milk by expressing milk, as well as feeding your baby on demand. This is extremely hard work, but it is the only proven way to increase your milk supply. You might feel like a cow, but it's worth it!

However, you can support your body while you do this, with natural foods and drinks that have been used for millennia to increase milk supply. These are known as 'galactagogues'.

No one really know why they help, but there is research (on fenugreek in particular) to show drinking/eating them can help increase the amount of milk and the fat content in the milk you produce. So consider stocking up on...

1. Oats - eat porridge and flapjack. Oats have been eaten for hundreds of years as a galactagogue.

2. Fenugreek seeds - a key ingredient in our Milk's Up Breastfeeding Tea. Small scale research shows it can increase milk supply and is safe in moderate quantities to drink (we suggest a maximum 3 cups per day).

3. Fennel, anise, nettle - anecdotal evidence has linked all of these herbs to increasing milk supply. There is no scientific research into them, but the historical usage is extremely long and women swear by them!
