Fertilitea femme - MysecreTea

Fertilitea femme overview

MysecreTea is a French organic herbal tea brand created by Nawelle, who built her range around the plants passed down by her grandmother. The brand speaks to women and men who prefer the ritual of an infusion to capsules.

Fertilitea femme is a loose leaf tea, sold in a 120 gram pouch for a one month course. No capsule, no excipient, no bulking agent: only plants, dried fruit and a natural flavouring.

It is the best seller of the catalogue, by a wide margin. More than 140 customers have left a comment on its product page, 77% of them with top marks, which makes it the brand's best documented reference.

The blend draws on classic plants of European herbalism, chasteberry and lady's mantle first of all, combined with pieces of apple and strawberry. Every ingredient carries the organically grown mention.

In practice, Fertilitea femme suits women looking for a simple routine they can keep up over time. MysecreTea recommends drinking it regularly over at least three cycles, with a week off in each cycle.

Fertilitea femme composition

The ingredient list is published in full on the product page, flavourings included. That is rare enough on the herbal tea market to be worth pointing out.

The blend brings together thirteen ingredients, all organically grown:

• Chasteberry, also known as monk's pepper, the signature ingredient of the formula.
• Lady's mantle and yarrow, two classic plants of women's herbalism.
• Raspberry leaf, common sage, nettle, rosemary and basil.
• Pieces of apple, pieces of strawberry, lemon oil and stevia leaves.
• Natural strawberry flavouring.

Each plant is traditionally used in European herbalism. Nettle, for example, is a natural source of minerals, and rosemary is among the plants rich in antioxidant compounds.

Stevia deserves a mention: it brings a natural sweetness to the blend, which saves you having to sweeten the cup. No excipient or bulking agent rounds out this list.

Where the raw materials come from

MysecreTea flags every ingredient in Fertilitea femme as coming from certified organic farming. Every plant on the list carries the corresponding asterisk on the product page, without exception.

The loose leaf choice has a direct consequence on perceived quality. The plants arrive whole or in visible pieces: recognisable raspberry leaves, petals, pieces of apple and strawberry you can identify with the naked eye. Nothing is ground into powder, which makes the raw material verifiable by the buyer herself.

No colouring, preservative or bulking agent goes into the composition. The only additive present is a natural strawberry flavouring, clearly stated in the list.

How to drink Fertilitea femme

Preparation is classic and takes less than ten minutes.

• Use 1 to 2 teaspoons in 200 ml of hot water.
• Leave to infuse for 5 to 7 minutes.
• Drink 1 to 2 cups a day.

MysecreTea suggests having the first cup in the morning on an empty stomach, and the second in the afternoon or early evening.

The rhythm depends on your cycle. If your cycles are regular, the brand recommends starting on the first day of your period, carrying on for 21 days, then taking 7 days off. If your cycles are irregular, the same 21 day protocol applies, to be started whenever you like.

On duration, MysecreTea advises drinking it regularly over three cycles at least. An infuser or tea ball is essential, as loose leaf tea will not work in a standard filter.

Price and where to buy Fertilitea femme

Fertilitea femme sells for 39,99 € per 120 gram pouch, which is a one month course. Two longer formats cut the monthly cost sharply:

• 3 months, 2 bought and 1 free: 79,99 € instead of 119,97 €.
• 6 months, 4 bought and 2 free: 159,99 € instead of 239,94 €.

Purchase is online only, on the brand's official website. The product is not stocked in pharmacies or organic shops. Delivery is free from 50 € of purchase with Mondial Relay, and the LMC10 code gives 10% off.

My review of Fertilitea femme

What I appreciate about Fertilitea femme is how completely readable the formula is. Thirteen ingredients, all listed, all flagged organic, flavouring included. On this market, few brands go that far into the detail.

The loose leaf format also works in its favour: nothing to swallow, no excipient, and a fruity taste that makes the course easy to keep up. That is a real advantage for sticking with it when you are aiming at three months.

I recommend it to women looking for a natural, well documented ritual, provided you go for the 3 month format so the price stays sensible.
