Listen on:

This week on Raising Healthy Mothers I'm talking about all things tea with the fab Bethan Thomas of HotTea Mama. After moving to China, Bethan fell in love with all things tea and started a lifelong obsession with it, culminating in founding a tea company making functional teas specifically for mums and womanhood.

In this episode we talk about:

  • The poor quality of our bog-standard builders teabag, and why standard herbal teas rarely taste as good as they smell

  • How she noticed a gap in the market for delicious, functional teas for mums in motherhood

  • The science behind tea and how it can help during the different phases of motherhood

  • The difficulties of unpicking the scientific evidence for what is and isn't safe in pregnancy

  • How Bethan chooses her specific blends and the scientific base behind their safety and how they help at specific times of motherhood

This was a fascinating discussion that had us both geeking out about nutrition science and getting our teeth into the ins and outs of proper, functional teas for motherhood.
