Organic Milkmaid Tea by Earth Mama | Supports Healthy Breastmilk Production and Lactation, Herbal Breastfeeding Tea Supplement, 16 Teabags per Box (3-Pack)

I used this milk tea twice; once in two different phases of breastfeeding. When I was establishing my milk production my baby was really working hard at night to get that extra feed in. She was cluster feeding all day and I felt at night she had nothing left to satisfy her. I started drinking Traditional Medicinals Mother's Milk Tea and it wasn't bad. But the price was too expensive and it wasn't available on Amazon Prime at the time. I didn't really notice a change with this tea drinking it as recommended. Then I switched to Earth Mama Milkmaid Tea and HOLY COW my freezer was ready to bust with extra milk! You really have to drink the 3 per day to get a noticeable increase in your supply. I was making so much milk that I was having to get up twice in the middle of the night and pump just so I wouldn't soak the sheets! I weaned off of it and didn't have any problems... that is until I went back to work and started progesterone. The combination of both caused a huge decrease in my milk supply. I went from pumping 15 oz of milk at work over 12 hours to just 8. My freezer supply seriously dropped and I was panicking! So I stopped the progesterone, pumped constantly to empty my breasts, and started back on the tea. Within a week my pumping total raised to 10 oz and now it is back to 15 oz over 12 hours at work. My freezer supply is back to par and I drink 2 cups a day instead of three. Now about the flavor. It tastes like any other herbal tea and I wouldn't say that it is so delicious that I enjoyed it all day. However, it has a mild flavor that I would not call licorice. Milkmaid does smell more potent than Traditional Medicinals Mothers milk tea but in comparison the flavor is practically the same. I have tried it every way thinkable: with honey, with sugar, with milk, with milk and honey, plain... My trick now is to brew it, let it cool to room temp, squeeze out the tea bag, and then drink it straight. Having to sip on it all day long got to be a huge hassle. Now it takes a few minutes to brew and an hour later or whenever I get around to it I drink it cool. I've had it over ice to and its not that bad. I will tell you that I would drink this stuff all day by the gallon be it hot, cold, plain, sweet, ANY way necessary to avoid the panic and fear of losing my milk supply like I did at one point. I swear by this product and if you have Amazon Prime (another product of Amazon that I couldn't live without) it is hard to argue with a price like that. Hope this helps!

THE SUPPLY: I started drinking this tea after my milk came in several days late and I was having to supplement with Baby's Only Organic Dairy Formula at night for my baby to be satisfied enough to go to sleep. I also take the recommended dose of Gaia Herbs Fenugreek Seed. This combination has definitely increased my milk supply. I can now nurse my baby to satisfaction and a very healthy weight gain. I can also pump several extra ounces every day to put in my freezer stash.THE TASTE: I like liquorice but even so I'm not a big fan of the taste as I find it too "grassy". However, I have discovered that mixing in a little bit of organic lemonade from Whole Foods (any flavor works, mango is excellent) goes a long way to mask the herby-ness of the tea and makes it very drinkable, especially ice cold. I prefer this tea iced as I find it has a less pungent flavor when cold. Every evening I use two tea bags to steep a jug of this thing using the glass portion of the Bodum Chambord Coffee Press and pour into a Bormioli Rocco Gelo Glass Pitcher (I use the Bodum because it is not safe to pour boiling water straight into the Bormioli, it will crack). Once it has cooled off a bit I stick the jug in the fridge and drink the next the day. This way I drink a whole a jug of it daily without fail. When I was drinking it straight up and hot I was dreading having to make a cup and drinking it.I am currently trying out the Traditional Medicinals Organic Mother's Milk as a comparison and will update this review once I'm done. (Edit: I preferred the taste of this one).

This tea is the best! For a while I thought I wasn't producing enough milk for my little girl, especially during her growth spurt, so I decided to try this tea and I absolutely LOVE it! I got my first box of this tea at my baby shower so I was able to try this brand as well as the Mother's milk tea that i received from a friend months later and I much prefer the Earth Mama Angel Baby tea! I drink this three times a day and can easily feed my 4 month old little girl and pump 5+ ounces per sitting at least 2-3 times a day as needed! This stuff does the trick. I definitely notice a difference in the amount I can pump when I only drink one or two cups, I can easily go from 5+ ounces drinking 3 cups a day to 2-3 ounces drinking 1-2 cups a day. I read a lot of reviews that say this tea tastes horrible but it has a very subtle flavor that is not at all overwhelming like some say. I don't add anything to this tea but if you like it a little sweeter just add a little honey and that will do the trick! This tea is good hot and cold! I highly recommend this product for any woman who is either having milk production problems or simply wants to up their supply to pump. Great product!

I’ve used this tea repeatedly. It works great for me. The taste isn't as bad compared to the munchkin tea. Packaging was horrible. All three boxes came dented and torn.
