Carmién Nursing Tea is a rooibos-based herbal blend created with breastfeeding mums in mind. It brings together rooibos, fenugreek, fennel and aniseed in a warm, everyday cup that is intended to support lactation and milk production while you find your feeding rhythm. If you're looking for a caffeine-free nursing tea that fits easily into your day, this blend offers a gentle, comforting ritual between feeds.
The fenugreek, fennel and aniseed in this blend are traditionally used to support lactation, while the rooibos base keeps the cup naturally caffeine-free and sugar-free. It's a simple addition to your daily routine rather than a replacement for any care or support you're already receiving — milk supply is shaped by many factors, and this tea is one small, soothing part of the picture.
A thoughtfully chosen blend
Each ingredient earns its place in the cup, combining herbs long associated with nursing support with a rooibos base that's easy to drink on its own or dressed up to taste.

How to Use
- Steep one teabag in 250 ml of pre-boiled water at 100°C (212°F).
- Leave to infuse for 5–10 minutes, or according to taste.
- Enjoy at approximately 60°C, on its own or with milk, honey, sugar or a slice of lemon.
Pandylane Pro Tip: Don't boil the teabags themselves — the plant-based pillow teabag can tear open if it's boiled rather than steeped in pre-boiled water.
A more sustainable cup
The pillow teabags are made with Fibre+, a non-plastic filter paper that offers a more sustainable alternative without compromising on quality. The teabags are compostable and the packaging is recyclable, so it's a nursing tea that's a little kinder to the planet too.
