Is there any other tea drinking moms on here? I usually drink a cup of tea right before bed and would like to try some new ones that are budget friendly. My sister suggested Teavana but I told her that's too expensive for me right now.

I've read that cheap tea bags contain dangerous levels of fluoride in them so I haven't drank any sense 😢 they're saying to buy loose leaf tea instead and I can't find any

@maybaby2016, I drink this brand a lot. Their teas are all natural ingredients no chemicals and caffeine free too! You can literally read the ingredients and understand them. This is by far my favorite especially in winter when you need the extra vitamin c.

@rachayrn, that sounds like an interesting combo. I'm guessing it tastes like cinnamon?

that's one of the teas listed. I will get you the article. you see, it's unsafe because the cheaper brands of tea use fully grown tea leaves that have absorbed most of the fluoride during the process of repelling insects. it can be in your natural and organic tea. there are loop holes in the labeling..let me get you that article....

@maybaby2016, OMG thank you so much. Looks like that box and is going in the trash. I guess I'll just stick to my chamomile teas since I grow it at home.

yeah I was totally bummed and freaked out when I read this because I have been drinking yogi and a couple of other brands pretty much daily and I breastfeed my baby! it's horrible and this is not the only article on it, you can find several others if you just Google the topic.

that's such an awesome idea to grow your own tea. how do you go about making it? do you you dry the leaves first?

@maybaby2016, I bought a chamomile plant and when it has the little flowers I just cut of a few stems and tie them on the ends and let them dry in the sun a few days then I just wrap them in a coffee filter and bam chamomile tea! you can also put it in a diffuser I use the filters because they are disposable. You can also do it with mint too.

😄 omg why haven't I thought of that? such a simple solution! and so many possibilities, lavender, dandelion and ginger too! Thank you. Did you know that if you boil a whole banana, peel and all it makes one of the best bed time teas? make sure to use an organic banana and you can even eat it after. it's great for when you're tired and sore from exercise and such. 😉
