Directions:

Hot Brew:

• Each of our packs has simple instructions on it, but essentially you should use 1 tea bag per person, and freshly boiled water for all except Head Start. This tea works best with 80-degree water (let your kettle sit for 5 minutes with the lid open after boiling). Brew for 3-5 minutes depending on how strong you like it.

Iced Tea:

• Use 1 bag per 300ml of water (this is the average size of a water glass) Add freshly boiled water, as if you were making a normal cuppa. Place the glass, with the tea bag still in, in your fridge to cool. Enjoy once cool – add lots of ice and fruit if you’re feeling fancy.

Can I drink this tea if I’m pregnant?

If you become pregnant whilst drinking this tea, we recommend stopping. It contains raspberry leaf, which isn’t recommended by the NHS until you are 32 weeks pregnant. This is because it stimulates and tones your uterine muscles. So you should wait until you are 32 weeks pregnant to drink, or alternatively move on to our The Final Push Raspberry Leaf tea which is perfect for birth preparation.

Should I only drink this tea when I have PMS or my period?

You absolutely can. But the benefits of herbal tea are believed to build up over time, and small scale studies that look at the benefits, all look at daily consumption for a minimum of 3-4 weeks. So we recommend drinking Over The Moon regularly throughout the month. Have up to 3 cups a day. (Each tea pyramid can be brewed twice)

Can this tea support TTC?

There’s limited research done into tea and how it can support you when TTC. However, many of the ingredients of this tea have been used traditionally to support fertility. It’s recommended with raspberry leaf in particular, so time when you drink the tea. Raspberry leaf is 35% of this blend and will impact your uterine muscles – toning and strengthening them. Therefore, when TTC, you should only drink it when you’re on your period, and you should stop once you’re due to ovulate. This will allow the raspberry leaf to strengthen your uterine muscles and hopefully help, but it will not be affecting you at the key moment.
