For expectant mothers, few things are as comforting as a warm cup of tea. However, questions about safe tea consumption during pregnancy are common and valid. At Myrtle & Maude, we understand these concerns, which is why our range of pregnancy-safe teas has been carefully formulated by expert herbalists to support women throughout their pregnancy journey.
Caffeine consumption during pregnancy requires careful consideration.
