Pliny the Elder first wrote about Rubus idaeus around 50 A.D. The Roman scholar and author of 37 books made mention of “raspberry leaf tea that is famous, soothing and aromatic, best known as a curer of problems connected with women: frigidity, menstrual discomfort, labour pains and difficult menopause.”
The Ojibwa Indians understood the value of raspberry leaf tea also. They knew it helped mothers have a healthy pregnancy, quick labour, a strong baby and breastfeeding success. Today, raspberry leaves are notable partus preaparaturae, and can be freely recommended throughout pregnancy, during birth, while breastfeeding and at any time of life.
The Mother Tea contains potassium (441 ppm), calcium (121 ppm), magnesium (93 ppm) and the important trace minerals manganese, zinc, iron and chromium.
Rinse your teapot with hot water, and empty it. Add a handful of organic Mother Tea leaves. Cover with boiling water, and let steep ten minutes. If you just want to make a cup, use one teaspoon of our leaves. The Mother Tea is precious hot or cold. If you intend to keep it overnight, it is best stored in the refrigerator.
Store your tea in a tin or glass container, in your refrigerator, if you have room, or in a cupboard. Large amounts keep very well in the freezer.
The Mother Tea is a gentle, soothing drink, morning, noon and night. It is appreciated by pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, athletes, people under stress, children, teenagers, the elderly and anyone in recovery.
The Mother Tea is available in two sizes, and makes a wonderful gift.
