- Is this morning sickness tea caffeine free?
Yes! As stated on the label, our tea is caffeine free. :)
- How many servings are in each bag?
We suggest making loose-leaf tea, using 1-2 teaspoons of Happy Morning Herbal Tea for Morning Sickness for each cup of water. The final outcome will be determined by how strong you prefer your tea and by how much hot water the tea is steeping in. I recommend that you experiment to find the right flavor for you. Your tea can stay in the water anywhere from 1 to 5 minutes, based on your personal preference. For a bolder flavored tea, add more tea and two to three minutes is the recommended time for the steeping process. In the warm summer months, serve chilled over ice for an extra treat!

- I’ve been reading that you should g have raspberry leaf until later stage of pregnancy. I’m having awful nausea (no vomiting) and fatigue where I can’t do anything ALL DAY and night. I’m concerned about taking raspberry leaf due to having had previous miscarriages.

- How long does a bag last if you drink a cup 3-4 times daily?
Great question! Typically, one ounce will make 10-15 six-ounce cups of tea, depending on how strong you like it. The volume of an ounce of dry tea leaves can vary quite a bit, though. Some of the ingredients are light and fluffy, while others are dense.
What do I put the tea leaves in when I brew it?
You may use our tea ball infuser, to hold the leaves or put them loose in the pot, then pour through a strainer.
- How big is a teacup?
- A teacup is considered to be 6 fluid ounces, like a coffee cup. So when we say to use 1 tsp. of leaves per cup, if your cup is 8 ounces, you may need to use a bit more leaves to get a full-strength cup
How much tea do I use to make a pot? - Depends on your pot. To measure your pot, fill it almost full with water (leave enough room for an infuser with tea leaves) and pour the contents into a large measuring cup. Divide the number of ounces by 6. This will tell you how many cups your pot holds. Use one teaspoon of leaves per cup. Some like to throw in an extra teaspoon "for the pot." Try it both ways and see what you think. It's a personal preference. The proper amount to use per cup will vary from tea to tea and to your own taste.
What's the difference between a tea kettle and a teapot?
Use a kettle to boil water and a teapot to brew tea.
How long do I steep (or brew) the tea?
This can vary significantly from tea to tea, but there are rules of thumb. Our herbal teas need 5-10 minutes, and they generally don't get bitter, so you can let them brew as long as you like. In general, finely cut teas, whether black, green, or herbal, require shorter brewing times than large leaf teas.
