I have always struggled to find a relaxing tea that doesn’t have an overpowering camomile taste. Finally I’ve found it! Relax tea is simply gorgeous, so warming and relaxing. Perfect.
Hi Angela, we're so happy to hear you love our Relax tea! It's wonderful knowing it helps you unwind. Thank you for sharing your experience!

I tried Relax at Happy Place festival a couple of years ago and have been hooked ever since!
It's my go to afternoon drink to relax after a busy day - and works a treat!
I have this on monthly subscription and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
And it's a bonus that Candice is the most lovely person and deserves all the success she is having and more.
I'd recommend (well, I often do to my friends and family!) Mother Cuppa to any tea lover or just anyone really to try it.
Hi Aileen, thank you so much for your amazing review and such kind words. We're delighted to hear that Relax has become your go-to tea and that you enjoy it so much.

This tea is really special. Much nicer than any other herbal tea I have tried. Bought the assortment pack and especially love the taste of 'Relax'
Oh Clare, thank you so much! 💚 Hearing that Relax feels really special and is much nicer than other herbal teas you’ve tried is such a wonderful compliment. Relax was the very first blend I created and the one that ultimately started Mother Cuppa, so it will always have a special place in my heart too.
I’m so pleased you discovered us and that you’ve found your favourite!

Good morning Angela, thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review for our No3 Relax blend. I'm so happy to hear that it has become a part of your night time ritual and that you find it indulgent and relaxing (what a lovely nightime routine you have).

I’d tried the full range before and decided Relax was my favourite. After attending a seminar at work about preventing burn out, which was led by Pam Burrows (check her out as she knows her stuff) I decided to purchase a subscription. This tea is now my little bit of self-care at the end of the day. It’s a lovely tasing tea and I sleep much better when I’ve had my nightly cuppa plus I feel good about looking after myself. It must be making a difference as my husband bought me the hamper for Christmas!
Hi Margaret,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review.
I am so happy that relax is your favourite and that it has become part of your evening self-care routine, I love that you can have some you time and chill out! Hearing that it is helping you to unwind and sleep better puts a HUGE smile on my face. I love that you discovered it through learning about burnout and chose to invest in yourself - that's so important.
Thank you also for subscribing and for your continued support.
Wishing you many more peaceful nightly cuppas :)

I am a tea lover but dithered about buying these, not because I didn't want too but because there are a few ingredients in them that I don't like the taste of and I have wasted soooo much money on tea in the past that has gone in the bin.
But here is the big BUT I love them, was very surprised that there is only a lovely subtle taste, no overpowering taste of any of my undesirables, all blended perfectly and no after taste.
Mother Cuppa has done an amazing job, love the little personal touches in the first order, it shows that she cares and will be drinking these on a daily basis from now onwards!!!!!
Sally, I am doing a little dance over here! This is such an amazing review and this speaks to highly of what I am trying to create with my blends. I am so glad my teas have been able to convert you. Yay!
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a glowing review. It really means a lot.

This tea is AMAZING. I am obsessed with the smell (I can't stop sniffing it!) and it has a lovely, creamy taste. I was looking for an alternative to milky tea while doing a sugar detox and in evenings when fasting. You can really see the love and attention that has gone into each bag - they even look beautiful! I've got all four blends and I love them all. My friend recommended these teas at the Happy Place festival and after trying them and chatting with the lovely founder, I was sold!

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this tea make me sleepy?
Relax is designed to calm the nervous system rather than knock you out. Many customers drink it in the evening to help them unwind before bed, and some notice it helps them fall asleep more easily. Others enjoy it earlier in the day when they feel overwhelmed or need a moment of calm.
Can I drink Relax during the day?
Yes. While many people drink Relax in the evening, it can also be helpful during stressful moments in the day when you need to slow down and reset.
How quickly will I feel the effects?
Relax is designed to work quite quickly for many people. Customers often notice the calming aroma and warmth helping them slow their breathing and relax within minutes of drinking it. Like any herbal blend, the full benefits can also build with regular use.
(This ties nicely to what you said earlier about Relax being immediate, unlike Energise and Clarity.)
Will it taste strongly of lavender?
Lavender is included for its calming properties, but it’s carefully balanced in the blend so it doesn’t overpower the flavour. Most people notice the warm apple, pear and caramelised cinnamon aroma first.
Do oat flowering tops contain gluten?
No. The oat plant itself does not naturally contain gluten. However, oats are sometimes grown or processed alongside gluten-containing crops, which can lead to cross-contamination.
The oat flowering tops used in Mother Cuppa blends are tested to confirm they have not been contaminated with gluten, so they are considered suitable for most people avoiding gluten.
If you have coeliac disease or severe allergies, we always recommend checking with your healthcare professional first.
How should I brew this tea?
For the best results, use freshly boiled water and steep for 5–7 minutes. This allows all the beneficial compounds to fully release. You can enjoy it hot or let it cool for a refreshing iced version.
Is it safe to drink during perimenopause?
Absolutely. All our blends are specifically formulated with perimenopause and menopause in mind. We use only natural, gentle ingredients that support your body's changing needs without any harsh stimulants.
How many cups can I drink per day?
We recommend 2–3 cups daily for optimal benefits. Since our teas are caffeine-free, you can enjoy them at any time without worrying about sleep disruption.
What if I don't like the taste?
We offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If you're not completely happy with your purchase, simply get in touch and we'll make it right. No questions asked.
How long until I notice the benefits?
Many customers notice improvements within the first week, though for best results we recommend making it a daily ritual for at least 2–4 weeks. Consistency is key with natural wellness.
Are the ingredients ethically sourced?
Yes, we carefully source all our ingredients from trusted suppliers who share our commitment to quality and sustainability. Our packaging is also fully compostable.
