Story Behind the Blend

Motherhood can be beautiful, exhausting, overwhelming and deeply transformative. Mama Needs a Pick Me Up was created for breastfeeding mothers who are feeling depleted, touched-out, or simply in need of a moment of care.

At Her Belle Tease, we believe mothers deserve nourishment too. This blend was inspired by the everyday experiences of women balancing feeding, healing, interrupted sleep and the demands of caring for others while often forgetting themselves.

This tea is an invitation to pause, breathe and refill your own cup.
