The Best Teas to Enjoy During Pregnancy

April 25, 2025

Pregnancy is a wild ride. One minute you’re craving pickles and peanut butter, the next you’re Googling if you can still enjoy your favorite cup of tea. (We see you.) The good news? Tea can still be a comforting part of your daily ritual — you just need to know what to sip, and what to skip.

We’ve steeped ourselves in the facts to brew up the best pregnancy-safe teas. No sketchy ingredients. No caffeine overloads. Just pure, plant-powered comfort.

Let’s get to it.

Why Not All Teas Are Safe During Pregnancy

Tea may seem innocent, but not all blends play nicely with pregnancy. Some herbs can stimulate the uterus (no thanks), others may impact blood pressure or interact with medications.

What you want is:

Caffeine-free or very low caffeine
Gentle herbs like ginger, rooibos, or peppermint
No mystery additives

Think of it this way: if your tea label reads like a Hogwarts spellbook, it’s probably not your best bet right now.
