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 your teas organic?

The Short Answer: Yes. Every single leaf, root, and flower we source is Certified USDA Organic.

The Details: We believe that flavor starts in the soil. We strictly partner with growers who practice sustainable, organic farming, organic approved pesticides, no GMOs, and no "natural flavorings" sprayed on the leaves. While our Salem facility is a dedicated small-batch kitchen (and not yet a certified processing plant), our commitment to 100% organic ingredients is absolute. You are drinking pure nature, nothing else.

What are the "Refill Bags"?

We designed our system to be sustainable.

Our Signature Tin, protects the tea and contains all the detailed brewing and ingredient information.

The Refill:
When you run low, you buy a Refill Bag.

Please Note: These biodegradable bags are designed as "Transport Vessels" only. They are not intended for individual sale. Upon arrival, please use the refill bag with into your YBTCO Tin. This ensures your tea stays fresh and you have the correct brewing instructions at hand.

Where is this made?

Handcrafted in Oregon.

Every batch of Yerba Buena tea is blended, tested, and packed in our dedicated tea kitchen in Salem, Oregon. We do not use co-packers or giant industrial machines. We blend in small lots to ensure that the oils are still volatile and the spices are still punchy when they reach your cup. It is a difference you can taste.

Is it safe for allergies (Gluten/Nuts)?

We keep it clean. All YBTCO teas are naturally Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, and Vegan. Our facility does not process wheat, soy, peanuts, or dairy.

The Coconut Note: The only allergen present in our facility is Coconut (Tree Nut), which is used in specific blends like Maven Blend and Turmeric Spice. We adhere to strict cleaning protocols to prevent cross-contamination, but if you have a severe tree nut allergy, please shop with caution.

When will my order ship?

We know you are ready to brew. Because we hand-pack orders, they typically leave our Oregon kitchen within 2-3 business days.
