Speciality maternity tea brand, Hot Tea Mama, has smashed sales of over one million tea bags per year.

The brand, established just three years ago, manufactures teas for pregnancy and post birth, for new mothers and motherhood.

One of the mums behind the brand, Bethan Thomas, had been a tea taster and buyer since graduating and knew how to put together a range of delicious herbal and fruit blends that would fit the bill.

“Three children later, and together we have created biodegradable whole leaf tea bags, each containing natural, tasty ingredients specially designed to support your body in the most rewarding and challenging time of your life.  That said, they’re delicious and our husbands enjoy them with no shame that they’re raiding our stash,” said Bethan.

The award winning brand is distributed by bébélephant, whose Managing Director, Elliot Bishop, commented, “One million tea bags per annum for a startup is simply astounding and one our best success stories. And with newness “brewing”, the best is yet to come!”
