Frequently Asked Questions
Your guide to understanding Motherseed, from its ingredients to the art of preparing it mindfully and beautifully.
About the Blend
What is Motherseed?
Motherseed is a whole-seed, organic, herbal tea blend for breastfeeding mothers, naturally supporting milk flow, digestion, and postpartum recovery.
What ingredients are included in the blend?
Our blend features eight heritage botanicals: fennel, caraway, aniseed, fenugreek, cumin, cardamom, black seed, and cinnamon. Each chosen for both benefit and harmony of flavour.
Is the Motherseed organic?
Yes. Every ingredient is certified organic, whole, and sourced from ethical growers who share our respect for the land and traditional herbal craft.
Where is Motherseed made?
Each batch is blended in small quantities in the UK, with careful attention to quality and consistency.
How long does one pouch last?
A 100g pouch yields approximately 66–100 cups, depending on how strong you brew your tea and if you are reusing the same seeds twice daily in your ritual.
Can I share this tea with family or friends?
Absolutely. While designed for postpartum nourishment, its gentle and aromatic nature makes it a soothing cup for anyone seeking warmth and calm.
How to Use It
How do I brew Motherseed tea?
Use 1 cup (250ml) of freshly boiled water just below a rolling boil. Pour the water over 1 teaspoon of tea (approximately 2-3g). Cover and steep for 5–7 minutes. Strain. Inhale deeply, sip slowly, and let the aroma and warmth guide your moment of pause.
How much can I drink daily?
We suggest 1–2 cups per day as part of your self-care ritual. Consistency and presence are key; let each cup be a mindful pause rather than a routine.
Can I add sweeteners or milk?
Yes. A touch of honey or a splash of milk complements the spices beautifully, though we recommend tasting it first to enjoy the natural balance of the herbs.
Can I reuse the seeds?
Yes, the herbal blend can be strained and kept in the fridge, then used to make a second cup of tea within a day.
Safety and Quality
Is Motherseed safe for breastfeeding?
Yes. Each herb is selected for its gentle nature and traditional use in supporting lactation and postpartum recovery. If in doubt, consult your healthcare provider. Always consult your healthcare provider if on medication or managing specific health conditions.
Can I drink Motherseed Tea during pregnancy?
This blend is designed for the postpartum period. During pregnancy, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider before introducing new herbal teas.
Are your herbs ethically sourced and tested for purity?
Yes. Our botanicals are sustainably and ethically grown and certified organic.
