NEST
I created this blend for the expectant mother who craves a cozy cup of goodness. I was pregnant during the cold months and wanted to drink something warm and soothing. I wanted something I not only felt safe about drinking, but also knew was providing my babe and me with needed nourishment. This blend is what spoke to me, and I enjoyed immensely. Deliciously cozy and nourishing herbs in this tea are just what the nesting mama needs. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

The longer these herbs steep the better and more potent the herbal infusion will be.

Teaching Herbalism Through Tea Craft
I studied each herb in this blend thoroughly and referenced all available material including the Botanical Safety Handbook for safety considerations during pregnancy. I chose each herb since they are either considered safe during pregnancy or have shown no known contraindications.
Though I personally felt very safe drinking this, I cannot say for certain that anything is safe for pregnancy. It takes immense studies to make such a claim and those exist in very small number due to the ethical issues with doing studies on pregnant women.
I say all of this to simply say… do what feels safe and best for you and your little firefly.
Our Packaging
Our packaging is intentionally minimal and environmentally conscious. The kraft bags holding our teas are recycled and compostable. The inner lining is plant based and the outer layer is FDA approved recycled natural Kraft. Tin tie closures need to be removed prior to sending it to compost heap.
Our unbleached tea bags are sealed with a food grade staple and no chemical sealant. Each is compostable, as well as the herbs inside, once staple is removed. They love to return to the earth.
We are constantly seeking ways we can do better and lessen our impact.
