Holle Organic Baby Tea is an organic herbal tea for babiesfrom 5 months, supplied as 20 tea bags of 1.5 g in a 30 g carton. The blend Holle currently publishes for it is six herbs: caraway at 25 percent, lemon balm at 20 percent, honeybush at 18 percent, aniseed at 15 percent, camomile at 15 percent and lemon verbena at 7 percent. It is unsweetened, gluten-free and vegan.
Holle's current blend for this tea is made without fennel
This product is named and has previously been described as a fennel tea, but fennel does not appear in the ingredient declaration Holle publishes for it, and Holle lists without fennel as one of the blend's features. Aniseed is in the blend and is a different plant from fennel, although the two taste similar. Two independent sources agree on the fennel-free declaration. We have set out below what is actually declared, and the carton you receive is the authority: please read it before brewing, particularly if you are choosing or avoiding a tea because of fennel.
What the blend is for is simple and Holle is not vague about it: a drink. A baby from around five months who is starting solids needs fluid alongside the milk feeds, and an unsweetened herbal tea is one way to offer it. It is not a feed and not a milk substitute, and it does not replace breast milk or formula.
The six herbs are all certified organic, and the percentages total exactly 100, so there is nothing in the bags beyond the six herbs. There is no sugar, no sweetener, no flavoring and no preservative in the list.
Aniseed and caraway between them are 40 percent of the blend and give it the faintly sweet, warm character that babies tend to accept. Honeybush adds a mild natural sweetness without any sugar, and the lemon balm and lemon verbena lift it. As a European baby tea it is a milder blend than a single-herb tea would be.

Where it fits
Where a baby tea sits in the day
Think of this as a drink rather than a food. From about five months, as solids begin, a baby starts needing fluid that is not milk, and the usual answer is water. An unsweetened herbal tea is the other answer, and it is often easier to get a reluctant baby to take.
It fits with or after a solid meal, and in warm weather when a baby is losing more fluid than usual. It does not fit in place of a milk feed. Breast milk or formula remains the nutrition at this age, and a tea alongside it is hydration, not calories.
The product is sold here as a family tea as well, and the blend is mild enough that older children and adults drink it, though Holle's own framing is specifically a tea developed for babies from the fifth month.
How this tea should reach your baby
From a cup or a beaker rather than a bottle, and not left within reach to sip at over a long period. Prolonged contact between any drink other than water and a baby's teeth is what causes decay, and that is true of an unsweetened tea as well as a sweet one. Offer it at a mealtime, let your baby drink it, then take the cup away.
Preparation
How to prepare Holle Organic Baby Tea
Holle publishes no brewing method for this tea that we can source
This matters, so it is stated plainly rather than buried. Neither Holle's own product page nor any authorized retailer we can read gives a water volume, a steeping time or a number of servings a day for this particular tea. Follow the instructions printed on your carton. The steps below are general good practice for preparing any baby tea; they are not Holle's instructions for this blend, and we have deliberately not borrowed figures from a different Holle tea that does publish them.
See cartonFor water volume and time
Fresh each timeDo not keep brewed tea
Body temperatureCheck before serving
No sweeteningThe tea is unsweetened
1
Read your carton first
The water volume and steeping time for this blend are printed on the pack. Use those figures rather than any you find elsewhere, including on this page.
2
Boil fresh drinking water
Freshly boiled water, not water that has sat in a kettle or been boiled twice. Pour it over a single tea bag in a clean cup or jug.
3
Let it steep, then remove the bag
Steep for the time your carton specifies and then lift the bag out. Leaving the bag in makes the tea stronger and more bitter rather than better.
4
Cool it to body temperature
Let the tea come down to roughly body temperature before it goes anywhere near your baby, and test it yourself on the inside of your wrist first.
5
Serve it unsweetened
Do not add sugar, honey or syrup. The tea is designed to be unsweetened, honey is not suitable for babies under a year in any case, and sweetening a drink is the fastest route to tooth decay.
6
Make each cup fresh
Prepare what your baby will drink and discard what is left rather than keeping brewed tea for later. Keep the carton closed, dry and away from strong smells, which herbs pick up readily.
No water volume, steeping time, serving temperature or daily serving count is published for this tea on any source we can read, so no figures appear above. The pack size of 20 bags at 1.5 g and the 30 g carton weight are sourced; the brewing method is not.
Check the temperature yourself before every cup. Tea is made with boiling water and has to be cooled before a baby drinks it. Test it on the inside of your wrist first. Offer it from a cup rather than a bottle, do not sweeten it, do not leave your baby to sip at it over a long period, and do not use it in place of a breast-milk or formula feed. If your baby is unwell or you have any question about fluids, ask your pediatrician.
About fennel
The fennel question, set out plainly
Because this product has carried a fennel name and a fennel description, and because some parents choose or avoid a baby tea specifically on fennel, it is worth laying the discrepancy out rather than quietly writing around it.
Question
What we can source
Where from
Is fennel in the declaration?
No. The six declared herbs are caraway, lemon balm, honeybush, aniseed, camomile and lemon verbena
The manufacturer's own current product page
Does the manufacturer mention fennel?
Yes, as an absence: without fennel is listed as a feature of the blend
The manufacturer's own current product page
Does a second source agree?
Yes. An authorized retailer gives the identical six-herb declaration and also states without fennel
Authorized retailer listing
Is aniseed the same as fennel?
No. They are different plants, though both carry a similar anise note, which is the likely source of the confusion
Botanical distinction
What should I rely on?
The ingredient list printed on the carton you receive
Standard practice for any food
We have not printed a fennel claim anywhere on this page, because we cannot source one. If you specifically want a fennel tea, or specifically need to avoid fennel, read the carton before you brew and contact us if what arrives does not match what you expected. It is possible an earlier version of this blend did contain fennel; we can only describe the one the manufacturer publishes now.
Ingredients
What is in the blend
Six herbs, no additives, no declared allergens
The declaration is six organic herbs and nothing else. Holle labels the tea gluten-free and vegan, and no allergen declaration is given for it. There is no sugar, sweetener, flavoring, coloring or preservative in the list. As with any herbal product, read your own carton before the first cup.
* from organic farming. The six percentages total 100, so there is nothing in the bags beyond these six herbs.
Holle labels this tea gluten free and vegan, states that it is unsweetened, and lists without fennel among the blend's features. No allergen declaration and no nutrition table are published for it.
Pack: 20 tea bags at 1.5 g each. An authorized retailer gives the carton contents as 30.00 g, which agrees with 20 multiplied by 1.5 g.
Several digestive, calming and settling claims have previously been made for this tea, including that it eases tummy discomfort, supports healthy digestion and helps during teething. None of them is an authorized health claim and none is reproduced here. We make no health claim for this tea at all: it is an unsweetened organic herbal drink.

Pack and yield
What a 30 g carton gives you
The carton holds 20 tea bags at 1.5 g each, which is 30 g of herbs in total. How many cups that makes depends entirely on the water volume per bag, and that is the figure this tea does not publish.

One bag makes one cup, so a carton is twenty cups. We have stopped there rather than converting that into fluid ounces, because doing so would need a water volume per bag and no source we can read gives one for this tea. Borrowing the figure from Holle's nursing tea, which does publish a volume, would be exactly the kind of substitution this page avoids. No monthly usage estimate is published for baby tea either, and we have not invented one.

Questions parents ask
Frequently asked questions
From what age can my baby have this tea?
From 5 months, which is the age on this product and the same age the manufacturer gives. It is a drink to offer alongside solids and milk feeds, not in place of them.
Does this tea contain fennel?
Not according to the declaration the manufacturer currently publishes for it. The six declared herbs are caraway, lemon balm, honeybush, aniseed, camomile and lemon verbena, and the manufacturer lists without fennel as a feature of the blend. An authorized retailer gives the same six-herb list. Aniseed tastes similar to fennel but is a different plant. Please read the carton you receive, and contact us if it does not match.
How do I brew it?
Follow the instructions on your carton. We could not source a water volume or a steeping time for this specific blend from the manufacturer or from any authorized retailer, so we have not printed one. In general: freshly boiled water over one bag, steep for the time the pack states, remove the bag, cool to body temperature, check it yourself, and serve unsweetened.
Should I sweeten it?
No. The tea is designed to be unsweetened, and adding sugar or syrup to a baby's drink is the quickest route to tooth decay. Honey should not be given to babies under a year at all.
Can it replace a milk feed?
No. Breast milk or formula is the nutrition at this age. This tea is hydration alongside those feeds and carries no meaningful calories.
Is it gluten-free and vegan?
The manufacturer labels it gluten free and vegan. The declaration is six herbs with no cereal, dairy or additive, and no allergen declaration is published for it.
What are the health benefits?
We make no health claim for this tea. Claims about easing tummy discomfort, supporting digestion, calming a baby or helping with teething have been attached to it in the past; none is authorized and we do not repeat any of them. It is an unsweetened organic herbal drink, for fluid alongside milk and solids.
How many cups does a carton make?
Twenty, at one bag per cup. We cannot turn that into a volume in ounces because no source we can read gives a water volume per bag for this tea, and we have not borrowed the figure from a different Holle tea.
Can older children and adults drink it?
This product is sold here as suitable for toddlers, older children and adults as well as babies, and the blend is mild. The manufacturer's own framing is a tea developed specifically for babies from the fifth month.
Written from the manufacturer's own current product page for this tea and from an authorized retailer's listing of the same tea, which agree with each other and are together the source of the age of from 5 months, the pack of 20 tea bags at 1.5 g, the carton contents of 30.00 g, the ingredient declaration of caraway at 25 percent, lemon balm at 20 percent, honeybush at 18 percent, aniseed at 15 percent, camomile at 15 percent and lemon verbena at 7 percent, the organic-farming footnote on all six herbs, the gluten-free and vegan labeling, the statement that the tea is unsweetened, and the listing of without fennel as a feature of the blend. The age of 5 months also matches the age on the product itself and is authoritative. That the six percentages total 100, and that twenty bags make twenty cups, is arithmetic and is labeled as such on the page. No brewing method is published for this blend on any source we can read, so no water volume, steeping time, serving temperature or daily serving count is given; the preparation steps on this page are labeled as general practice rather than as the manufacturer's instructions, and figures were deliberately not borrowed from the manufacturer's nursing tea, which does publish them. No nutrition table and no allergen declaration are published for this tea, so neither is given. A fennel claim is not made anywhere on this page because none can be sourced, and the discrepancy between the product name and the published declaration is set out in full above instead. Digestive, calming, settling and teething claims previously carried for this tea are not reproduced, nor is a statement about honeybush and fluid balance, because none is an authorized health claim.
