About Leche de Mama (Nursing Care)

Liquid Gold

They say it takes a village to raise a child. Consider this tea part of your village. We formulated this blend based on centuries of midwife wisdom, using "galactagogues"—herbs traditionally used to support healthy milk supply. We pair Organic Fenugreek and Fennel seed (the heavy lifters) with Nettle Leaf to help replenish the minerals your body loses during breastfeeding.

Why It Works

Hydration is the #1 factor in milk production, but water can get boring. This tea makes hydration functional. Fenugreek and Fennel are famous for their ability to support lactation, while Lemon Balm helps soothe the frazzled nerves that come with sleep deprivation. It is a moment of self-care that doubles as baby-care.

The Maple Note

It tastes sweet. Fenugreek has a natural aroma that is strikingly similar to maple syrup. When combined with the licorice notes of Fennel and the citrusy Lemon Balm, it creates a naturally sweet, comforting cup that doesn't need sugar.

Organic Ingredients
  • Organic Fennel Seed
  • Organic Fenugreek Seed
  • Organic Lemon Balm
  • Organic Nettle Leaf
Tasting Notes

Aroma: Sweet and comforting. It smells distinctly of maple syrup and soft lemon.

Flavor: Herbal and sweet. The maple notes of the Fenugreek pair perfectly with the mild anise flavor of Fennel.

Finish: Smooth and coating, with a clean citrus lift.

Why You'll Love It

The Galactagogues: Fenugreek and Fennel are the two most researched herbs for lactation. They contain phytoestrogens which are believed to help stimulate the hormones responsible for milk production.

Nutrient Dense: Nettle Leaf is often called "nature's multivitamin." It is packed with iron and calcium, which are crucial for postpartum recovery.

Your Questions About Leche de Mama (Nursing Care), Answered.

Does this really help milk supply?

Generations of mothers swear by it. Fenugreek and Fennel are the industry standard for herbal lactation support. Plus, the extra hydration from drinking tea is the best way to maintain supply.

Can I drink this while pregnant?

No. We recommend waiting until **after** the baby arrives. Fenugreek is a uterine stimulant and is generally not recommended during pregnancy. This tea is designed specifically for the postpartum period.

Does it taste like licorice?

It has a mild anise note from the Fennel, but the dominant flavor is actually maple (from the Fenugreek) and lemon. It is much softer and sweeter than eating raw fennel seeds.

FAQs Simply Answered

Are YBTCO’s Teas Truly Organic?

Yes, every ingredient we source is certified USDA Organic. Our commitment is to craft our blends using only teas and botanicals from growers whose agricultural practices steward a better tomorrow.

While Yerba Buena Tea Co. as a company has not yet completed its own formal USDA Organic certification, our standards for purity and sustainability are unwavering. When you sip our tea, you’re tasting a commitment to clean soil, fresh air, and the honest labor of growers who share our belief that tea should be as good for the earth as it is for your cup. You can taste this commitment in our Connoisseur Collection.

Where Are Your Teas Blended and Packaged?

Every YBTCO tea is hand-blended in small batches in our dedicated tea kitchen located in beautiful Salem, Oregon.

Our process is slow by design. Blending in small lots allows us to ensure every pouch delivers maximum freshness, flavor, and the just-picked aroma that makes our teas special. It's a level of craftsmanship you can taste in every cup, especially in our Connoisseur Collection. We package each order with care so you can enjoy a touch of the Pacific Northwest, wherever you are.

Do Your Teas Contain Allergens or Gluten?

Your safety and enjoyment matter deeply to us. All YBTCO teas are naturally gluten-free and blended in a dedicated facility that does not process tree nuts (except coconut), wheat, barley, or rye.

The only common allergen you’ll find in our collection is coconut, which we use in select blends like our Maven Blend for its creamy, tropical note. We use no added flavorings, colorings, or artificial ingredients, just whole leaves, spices, and botanicals as nature intended.

If you have specific questions or sensitivities, our team is always happy to help you find the perfect tea with peace of mind. Please feel free to contact us.

What Is Your Tea Refill?

We believe good tea, and good habits, should be sustainable. That’s why YBTCO offers our teas in two forms to reduce waste and keep your tea fresh:

  • Start with a Signature Tin: Our beautiful, reusable, and recyclable tins are perfect for keeping your tea fresh on the shelf. They also make a wonderful present, which is why they are featured in our Gifts for Tea Lovers Collection.

  • Restock with a Refill Bag: When you're running low, simply order a refill bag to top up your tin. Our refill bags use minimal packaging and ensure you always have the freshest possible tea on hand.

This practice means less environmental impact and a ritual that feels good every time you open the lid.

What Is Your Shipping Policy?

We strive to get your tea to you as quickly and efficiently as possible so you can start enjoying it. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Processing Time: All orders are hand-packed with care and typically ship from our Salem, Oregon tea kitchen within 2 - 3 business days.
