RRL tea drinkers - what brand do you like?

[TheDivineMrsM]

I have a daily cup of Yogi's RRL tea, but I just found a great deal on Alvita. What's your favorite? If you buy in bulk, where do you get it?

I bought a pound from mountain rose; i've only tried it and the bagged from Traditional Medicinals and i prefer the bulk...the price was far better than anyone elses if i can recall correctly; i bought it quite a while ago

My favorite is the RRL Tea My Midwife Makes brand.

Yeah, if you go with a brand, you never know how long its been sitting around. Mountain Rose is a good source for bulk.

I get mine in bulk from Frontier from my local HFS.

I got mine from a somewhat local herbal seller... I make a loose tea mix w/nettles, rosehips, RRL, sometimes other things.

I order all my bulk herbs from here: http://www.oregonswildharvest.com/owh/browse/bulk_herbs
I order RRL, alfalfa, and nettle by the pound. When making a pitcher of tea, I pour the loose leaves in to steep then strain. If making a cup, I use a tea ball. It is sooo much cheaper to order in bulk. Plus you can customize the herbs to suit your taste/needs.

I definitely did the bags the first time around, because I was brewing it up in my classroom (I like it hot). It was Traditional Medicinals and it was great!

Another option for if you can't easily brew where you are is capsules-- they are very potent, even more than tea, apparently, and it's the same thing. Of course tea is yummy

I did some bulk at the end of last pregnancy once I was on spring break/a week of leave and it was fine, Mountain Rose is the only place recommended to me back then, very nice, but we also have a local herb store so I coult pick out just what I wanted when I needed it

Thanks ladies!

At 31 weeks, how much should I/could I drink per day?
