The Carmién Nursing Tea Tin & 80 Teabags Combo is a caffeine-free rooibos lactation tea presented in a keepsake tin with 80 compostable teabags — a thoughtful way to bring a little calm to the day while breastfeeding. It's a specially formulated blend of rooibos, fenugreek, fennel and aniseed, intended to support lactation and milk production in nursing mothers, and it makes an easy, practical gift for a new mom.
Beyond the nursing herbs, the base is South African rooibos, which is naturally caffeine-free and sugar-free — a gentle everyday brew you can enjoy hot or cold. A touch of vanilla and the aniseed give it a smooth, slightly liquorice flavour, so it's an easy tea to reach for whether you drink it plain or with a little milk, honey or a slice of lemon.
What's in the blend
Each teabag combines four plants traditionally associated with feeding and comfort, with rooibos making up the bulk of the blend.
| Rooibos (43%) |
What it does: Forms the caffeine-free, sugar-free base of the tea. Why it works: It naturally 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 (29%) |
What it does: Commonly used to support breast-milk production in breastfeeding mothers. Why it works: It's a long-standing part of traditional lactation blends, working alongside fennel and aniseed here. |
| Fennel (14%) |
What it does: Traditionally used to support digestion. Why it works: It may help relieve heartburn and digestive discomfort while contributing to the blend's lactation support. |
| Aniseed (13.66%) |
What it does: Traditionally used to ease colic and support milk production. Why it works: Together with the vanilla flavouring, it also lends the tea its smooth, slightly liquorice taste. |
How to use
- Steep one teabag in 250 ml of pre-boiled water at 100°C (212°F) for 5–10 minutes, or according to taste.
- Enjoy with or without milk, honey, sugar or a slice of lemon — it's best enjoyed at around 60°C.
The maker suggests drinking 4–6 cups daily, hot or cold, for best results. Please don't boil the teabags themselves, as this can cause the plant-based bag to tear open. The teabags are made with Fibre+, a non-plastic filter paper offering a more sustainable, compostable alternative, and the packaging is recyclable.
