★★★☆☆
I want to like this more than I do but it’s more floral than I was hoping for. That said, it’s still soothing in the evening, and I blend it with Peach Serenity to tone down the floral notes a bit.
One cup before bed makes for an ideal way to unwind and lull yourself into a deep slumber.

This gets me to sleep so quick and I have great quality sleep!
I wasn't sure about the taste at first. After sipping a few minutes, it grew on me. My packet seemed heavy on the lavender and I couldn't taste the mint. It did relax me and I got a decent night's sleep. I would like to try this again.
Is a good, standard sleepy-time tea. Note that valerian smells like used gym socks - that's just how valerian is. The annoyance for me was: its little bits really stick in my mesh loose leaf strainers, so I recommend bags and not loose leaf for this blend.
By far the best night time tea. So soothing and relaxing with no groggy feeling in the morning.
I got this tea for my partner who has inconsistent work hours. This allows him to get some much needed sleep at unpredictable times.
That valerian root really hits. This blend does a lovely job burying its nasty nasty taste. Will be upgrading to a 16oz bag on my next order.
Absolutely love this tea! So glad I bought it. Will purchase again
A lovely relaxing tea, and a nice twist on my usual go-to of plain chamomile.
Tasted pretty good. I think I slept better after drinking it.
About what it says. Nice soft flavor and a good pre-bedtime tea. Chamomile is the dominant flavor, then the Spearmint. If that sounds like your bag you'll probably enjoy this tea, but if I need another round of evening tea I'll probably just go for the straight Chamomile next time.
Love this tea before bed, super calming and the flavor is amazing.
Great sleepy time tea! Been sleeping better with vivid dreams.
Delicious and relaxing- I drink it every night to help me wind down before bed.
Mhmm my bed is calling, my eyes are closing count the winks...1.,2,3,4...40 and maybe more.
Delightful. Subtle, refreshing, quiet. I like this tea in the early afternoons instead of a snack I may regret! It’s light and not too strong, but more than enough.
I usually do not like chamomile or lavender but was having trouble relaxing near bedtime, so I tried this one. It is a very relaxing, definitely no ingredient overwhelming, cup of tea for anytime. I now drink this as a part of my prep for bed routine. Most enjoyable is the flavorful but not overwhelming ingredients!
If I'd only had this as a sleepy time tea, I'd probably give it five stars. It suffers because Adagio is amazing at what it does and Slumbering Sloth exists. Regardless, this is a decent sleepy time back up tea, particularly for those that don't like rooibos. This also includes additional ingredients, like valerian root, that are good for secondary issues like blood pressure. So, all in all, still a very deserving cup of tea and one I've ordered at least twice.
This has become my go to drink for winding down at bedtime, love 40 Winks!
Tea was just as described, and I quite enjoyed it.
Works as expected , will buy again. Nice blend for taste.
This is part of my night time ritual. It helps me relax after a long day.
This is the first tea from Adagio that I've tasted and not loved. It's it has a distinctive smell that reminds me of patchouli or something incense-y. It tastes almost musty? I really can't put a finger on it but the flavor just did not vibe with me. My husband liked it so if you're into really herbal tasting things, you may love it.
One of my favorite blends to help me prepare for bed! Perfectly balanced and I just love the aromatics
Perfect bedtime tea! Really helps me relax and the flavor is warm and perfect for sipping before bed.
I bought a sample of this tea to try it out, as I often have issues either falling asleep or staying asleep. After the restful, deep sleep I had after trying, I am telling everyone about this tea! Not only was it delicious but felt super effective in its claims. My only warning is to follow the recommended tsp amount/steeping time. I typically like to make all my tea strong, and with this particular blend was tired the next day. This blend will absolutely become a part of my nightly routine.
My husband and I really enjoy sipping this tea at bedtime and it helps for a good nights sleep. Highly recommend!
Love love love this tea! I have a cup with 1.5 tsp honey every night as part of my bedtime routine. It's a lovely blend of sweet and earthy that is incredibly calming and helps me unwind at the end of the day.
It’s a great sleep aid with wonderful flavor that sends me off to sleep after working nightshift
I have been through every pharmaceutical medicine to help me sleep & so many end up making the morning worse than if I'd never slept at all.
40 winks, while it didn't knock me out or anything, did help ease the process.
More impressive yet, I found that once I was able to get myself to sleep I barely woke in the night.
Of course this is all just about the litter effects on the body.
The taste was also very pleasant. It did, of course, have the slight bitterness of the valerian root but with a bit of honey that was no longer noticeable. Once the honey balanced the valerian root, we were left with a subtle floral tea that also settled the stomach.
Our entire family lives this tea! Enjoy it an hour or so before bedtime for a very restful sleep!
Works flawlessly. I have MAJOR issues getting to sleep. I use about a tablespoon and a half as I'm 6'5", and it knocks me.our every night.
Awesome nighttime blend. Exactly what I would want to legit put me to sleep. Very Minty with chamomile. Definitely does its job for lights out!
Very nice bedtime herbal tea. Steep for at least 5 minutes
Really pleasant, the mint and chamomile are the strongest notes I picked up. Did not need any sort of sweetening to be enjoyed.
Loved this calming tea just before bed, helped soothe me to sleep
I really love this tea. If you enjoy very herbal flavors like peppermint, Verament chamomile yerba maté licorice root lemon balm, anything along those lines, you’re going to love this tea!
40 winks is my favorite before bed tea. I like to just keep the pyramid bag right in my cup while I enjoy.
It's OK. Very strong flavor I have to mix with a fruit herbal for better sipping taste.
I do feel relaxed w one cup making it easier to fall asleep. It does not make me sleepy tho.
the spearmint with the chamomile is a wonderful sleep time combination
Delicious blend of chamomile, spearmint, lavender, and valerian root is also the tea that puts me right to sleep, even when I’m nervous about the next day. I add a little sweetener.
I really liked this tea. It was refreshing and relaxing
Tasty smooth and accurately described. Would buy again!
Perfect at night with some rock sugar and a bit of oat milk. Delicious and it helps me relax. Falling asleep is another thing but that’s my own fault.
I do drink this tea occasionally before bed. I’m not sure that it helps me sleep, but it does seem to promote relaxation so I am ready to go to sleep at bedtime.
Nice herbal tea not overpowering mint flavor but nicely balanced
A tasty, soothing tea blend. I love having the 40 winks tea around bedtime.. it really helps to get me in the right headspace for some restful sleep.
very nice good tea. Definitely very good for helping sleep.
Excellent, wind down and relax for the evening tea.
This has become one of my favorite teas before bed, it helps me relax and unwind.
