Well here my experience: i don't like tea at all so I can really say I enjoyed drinking it, but it wasn't bad though, I would make and drink it cold, 3x a day from week 36 until birth (39w +).
I was pretty scared to be induced or get unnecessary procedures so I did my home work about making sure I was going to labor my own and make it easy as possible.
Combined with the tea I ate 6 date fruit/day, I inserted primrose oil every night after 37 weeks, I was bouncing in the ball every night after 37 weeks.
The night before going to labor I made my husband massage all my labor points (acupressure) with all pressure then right before bed I was bouncing in the Pilates ball and stimulating my nipples for about 10min that's when I felt my 1st contraction (what I though then was just a cramp). I went to bed at 12am and that went away, I woke up again to pee at 3 (it felt like I was going to), that's when I felt a really sharp pain for about 15secs, and I started to bleeding. I thought it was my plug passing, I went back to bed, then I got the very same pain at 4, 5, 6am, it was getting stronger but always would go away after 15 secs perhaps less. The blood became intense, but I still didn't go to the hospital, we had call the nurse and she said it was probably my plug, and at 39 weeks with a health pregnancy I don't think anything bad was going to happen anyway, so o didn't worry. The pain stopped and came back at 7am, 7:30am then I just got another one at 9am! My parents and husband started to wonder if I was in labor, I was expecting all those signals we hear and read about and clearly I had none of them, my stomach wasn't hard or contracting with the pain, no back pain, no broken water, and my "cramps" was very inconsistent. When 9am came I got 3 contractions in 9 minutes that's when we decided to go to the maternity, I took a shower and the pain that would come was very tolerable, when I finally got the hospital and they checked me up for dilation I was 8cm, 10min later I was already 9cm! It was 10:30. They hooked me up in machines and I was confined to bed what made me not tolerate the pain anymore and I begged for epidural, what ending up slowing the process, I gave birth at 2:30pm, 4hours to get to the last 1cm to start pushing it. They broke my water right before starting to push. My baby was born with 20" and 8pounds 11oz.
I would say it was an easy birth and could have been faster if it wasn't the epidural. The pain was manageable until they put me in bed, I really didn't know I was in labor, I though I was just getting cramps and decided to go to the hospital In the morning in case it wasn't gone.
I'm not sure if it was the tea, or the combination of everything else, I just know that it made me labor home 90% just like I wished, I wanted to have a free drugs birth but i chickened out, anyway, all those things really did something!
Ooh I would always have cramps during the pregnancy with 30 weeks it started to really hurts, when I started to drink the tea I didn't get any cramps anymore until birth! And I didn't get any Braxton like everybody else mentioned they did.

Giving it 4 stars because the 2 boxes I ordered came beat up and the inside was exposed, luckily the tea bags are wrapped and covered and remained that way. At first I was using honey with it, I can't drink unsweetened tea, it tasted ok, I didn't notice any difference in the breast milk supply, in fact my milk supply seemed to be less. I have an 11 month old that still breastfeeds, I pump milk for him for when I'm at work and when I'm home with him I just breast feed. In the previous months I used to have an oversupply of milk, it'll just sprout out and wet all my shirts, even with breast pads on, in the last couple months my supply had decreased, I wanted something to help with milk supply, so I ordered this tea, the price was right. After 3 days of taking it sweetened I didn't notice a difference, well I would usually pump 6-8 ounces from each breast, when I use this tea in the 1st few days my supply went down to like 4-5 ounces from each breast. After the 4th day I decided to take the tea without sugar or honey and it wasn't the best taste but I bared with it. Oh and I take the tea 2-3 times a day sometimes even up to 4 times. I notice my breasts leaking again and becoming engorged, didn't have that for a while, and I pumped about 9-10 ounces from each breast from about the 5th day and I believe it's from this tea. The results are better without sweeteners in my opinion or I just had to wait a few days for it to work. My son drinks 6-8 ounces a day and a lot so I needed something to up my milk supply and I believe this tea helped me, so try it! It may help you to.
