Ingredients & Lore
blended with rooibos tea, jasmine chun hao tea, raspberry green tea, raspberry leaves, fennel seed, chamomile flowers & lemon balm
The official name for painful periods is dysmenorrhea, but for most women, we just know them as cramps. Cramps are caused by the contraction of uterine muscles. This can lead to aches, bloating, nausea, and even headaches. Caffeine can exacerbate these symptoms. But if the idea of going without tea sounds worse than “Aunt Flo” herself, have no fear. In this tea, we've mixed our low caffeine Jasmine Chun Hao green tea with caffeine free Rooibos. Add lady friendly raspberry leaves and the calming effects of chamomile and lemon balm and you've got a tea for even your fiercest symptoms.
