A warm cup of tea brings comfort, relaxation, and a moment of calm, but if you’re an expectant mother, questions around tea consumption might arise. Here at Ahista Tea, we understand these concerns and are here to guide you through safe and soothing options, ensuring your tea journey is both enjoyable and beneficial during pregnancy.

Is Tea Safe During Pregnancy?

The simple answer is yes. Most teas can be safely enjoyed during pregnancy, provided you remain within recommended caffeine limits. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists suggests keeping caffeine intake under 200 milligrams per day. With a single cup of black or green tea containing around 40-50 milligrams of caffeine, moderate consumption of these types is generally safe.

The Best Herbal Teas for Pregnancy

Herbal teas make a great alternative to caffeinated options, offering hydration and natural benefits without caffeine. Here are some safe herbal teas from Ahista Tea’s collection:

• Himalayan Chamomile Tea: Sourced from remote Himalayan villages, this tea is hand-picked by female farmers and is high in calcium and magnesium. It promotes relaxation, improves sleep, and helps soothe stress.
• Om Tea: A caffeine-free, herbal blend perfect for pregnancy, offering calming properties that help reduce stress and promote better sleep. Its nutrient-rich ingredients provide gentle support, making it a soothing and hydrating choice for expectant mothers.
• Himalayan Tulsi Tea: Derived from Rama Tulsi (Holy Basil), this adaptogenic tea, sourced from women farmers in the Ganges river basin, is celebrated for its calming properties and stress-relieving benefits.
• Hibiscus Tea: Our Hibiscus Tea, crafted from hand-harvested petals, offers a tart, cranberry-like flavor and is naturally caffeine-free. It’s known for its refreshing and hydrating properties.

Teas to Limit or Avoid

While many teas are safe, certain types should be limited due to their higher caffeine content or other properties:

• High-Caffeine Teas: Limit intake of black tea due to their higher caffeine content.
• Licorice Root Tea: Can potentially affect hormone levels and should be avoided.
• Detox and Diet Teas: Often contain blends not tested for safety during pregnancy.
• PMS or Menstrual Relief Teas: These may include herbs that stimulate the uterus.

Special Notes for Green Tea Lovers

Green tea, such as our Kashmiri Nargis Green Tea, is safe during pregnancy in moderation. However, it’s advisable to limit consumption to one or two cups per day due to its caffeine content.

Final Thoughts

While tea can be a delightful companion during pregnancy, consulting with your healthcare provider before making significant changes to your diet is always best. With Ahista Tea’s range of carefully crafted herbal blends, you can sip safely and savor moments of peace during this special time.
