The Carmién Nursing Rooibos Tea Blend with Fenugreek and Fennel is a caffeine-free herbal tea specially formulated for breastfeeding mothers. Blending rooibos with fenugreek, fennel and aniseed, this nursing tea draws on ingredients traditionally used to support lactation and milk production, making it an easy daily ritual to work into your feeding routine.
If you're looking for a warm, comforting lactation tea to sip through the day, this blend keeps things simple: naturally caffeine-free and sugar-free rooibos as the base, with a gently sweet, liquorice-like note from the fennel and aniseed and a soft touch of vanilla flavouring. It's a herbal tea rather than a supplement in tablet form, so there are no capsules to swallow.
What's in the blend
Each cup is made up of rooibos (43%), fenugreek (29%), fennel (14%), aniseed (13.66%) and a small amount of vanilla flavouring (0.34%). Each of the botanicals plays its own traditional role.
| Rooibos |
What it does: Forms the naturally caffeine-free, sugar-free base of the blend. Why it works: It contains aspalathin, an antioxidant that may help protect the body from oxidative stress, and rooibos may support weight-management efforts as part of a balanced lifestyle. |
| Fenugreek |
What it does: Commonly used to support breast-milk production in breastfeeding mothers. Why it works: It's one of the herbs most traditionally associated with supporting lactation. |
| Fennel |
What it does: Traditionally used to support digestion. Why it works: It may help relieve heartburn and digestive discomfort. |
| Aniseed |
What it does: Traditionally used to ease colic and support milk production. Why it works: It complements the fenugreek and fennel to round out the blend's lactation-supporting profile. |
How to enjoy it
- Steep one teabag in 250 ml of pre-boiled water (100°C) for 5–10 minutes, or according to taste.
- Enjoy it with or without milk, honey, sugar or a slice of lemon.
- It's best enjoyed at around 60°C.
Do not boil the teabags, as this may cause the plant-based teabag to tear open.
