TASTING NOTES

Uplifting and zingy – citrus with a touch of spice and a tingle of mint

We’ve used three different types of lemon to ensure that the sweet, citrus notes are the perfect base to the tea. Lemongrass has notes of mint in it’s flavour profile. Lemon Balm is mellow and warm. Lemon Verbena is sweetly pungent. The combination of these three ‘lemons’ is ultimately incredibly well balanced.

Whole pieces of Ginger bring a warming tingle to the tea.

African Mint finishes the blend with a sweet note.

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

Our breastfeeding tea, Milk's Up, is a blend of fenugreek, fennel, anise, nettle and other galactagogues.

Delicious! Really loving the ginger-iness and lemongrass tang. Finally a great caffeine-free pick-me-up!

Becky

Absolutely love this tea, it’s my go to in the morning to perk up while my son terrorises me.

Sara

Love this tea – I had horrendous nausea (still do a little) and it really helps get something into me and quieten it all down.
Tastes wonderful.
I prefer it in the mornings and it is now part of my happy routine as the lemon verbana just makes you want to wake up and I still love my turmeric latte but there was no chance of drinking that in the mornings!
Morning-saver.

I am newly pregnant and being scared by all the stuff on the internet! I messaged on Instagram to ask about the ingredients in this tea and I was so reassured!! Extremely knowledgeable, put my mind at rest and really eased the mind of this mama to be! This company knows what they’re doing, cares about their customers and is worth every penny. Helped with the nausea and made giving up my coffee a bit more bearable! Thank you!

Frequently Asked Questions

Studies have shown that the essential oil, citral, can have hugely beneficial effects in easing nausea, after it is inhaled regularly for 2-4 days. This is a key component of lemongrass and why it is recommended as a tea or aromatherapy treatment if you suffer from nausea.

If you google lemongrass and pregnancy, you may read that it is dangerous. However, this is not true. It is unfortunately based on poor research.

The only recent medical research on this (from Brazil in 2016 - Use of Medicinal Plants with Teratogenic and Abortive Effects by Pregnant Women in a City in Northeastern Brazil.
Rev Bras Ginecol Obstet. 2016 Mar;38(3):127-31. doi: 10.1055/s-0036-1580714. Epub 2016 Mar 29.

) shows that lemongrass definitely has no toxic impacts on pregnancy.

However, many websites refer to a much older study (2006). Whilst the recent research proves it wrong, we should still consider it carefully.

This study gave mice 60 mg/kg body weight of citral - one component that is found in lemongrass essential oil (c. 60-70% of essential oil when extracted). This dose is hugely concentrated compared to drinking an infusion from a tea, or using lemongrass in a meal where you do not then eat the grass itself. When you drink tea or a thai dish with lemongrass in it, you will get a maximum 40% of compounds pulled from the leaf.

To put this into context, in each bag of our Morning Rescue tea, there is less than 1g of lemongrass. So, this means 0.7g in the highest case of citral, of which you extract 0.28g at most. If you weigh 55kg (8.6 stone), you'd need to therefore eat or drink 3.3g of citral per day to be similar to the mice study. This is 12 cups of tea a day for a sustained period. And obviously, if you weight more than 8 and a half stone, this increases more, but 12 cups is a good guideline.

Now, the NHS advises that no one should drink more than 3 cups of any herbal tea a day. And we follow this guidance. As such, the tea is no where near being the same level of the research. But I should stress - the most up to date research shows that lemongrass has NO toxic impact on pregnancy.
