This tea is light yet soothing. I can taste the camomile and peppermint. I added a little honey and my husband added agave and cream. It was a nice treat before bed.

The perfect brew to unwind after a long, stressful day. Not just for sleep aid, either - it's good to mellow out with in an afternoon.
Also great oversteeped, in my opinion.

★★★★★

This tea is definitely a nice bedtime tea! I added some honey to mine and just a few drops of lemon.

This has become a staple of my night time routine. This tea is very soothing, and having struggled with insomnia for years, it’s nice to find a tea that helps me calm down and sleep deeper.

My new late evening prep for blissful sleep. @adagioteas

★★★☆☆

Just a “so so” tea. Most likely will not order again, but it wasn’t terrible. Just not impressive either.

Works really well. This tea knocks me out every night. The first time I made a cup, there was a cherry in the tea! I really liked the flavor of that so now I always add in a little tiny bit of the Dewy Cherry tea into the infuser, just to make sure I get the cherry flavor. So I guess that's my only feedback, is MORE CHERRIES. I've gone thru 1/3 of a huge bag of it and only had 1 cherry

★★★☆☆

This is the first tea to EVER actually knock me out and I love it for that alone. Unfortunately I'm not a fan of lavender and didn't expect it to be so strong. It leaves a very overwhelming aftertaste.

Really good tea puts me to sleep every time and has a really good flavor.

I’m absolutely in love with this tea! It’s a perfect balance and quickly became part of my nightly routine! It was suggested by a great friend and I haven’t looked back!

Minty teas are not really my thing but it’s actually pretty good. Despite mint being such a strong flavor, it’s like the secondary flavor. That being said, valerian is also a very strong flavor, and not in a way that most ppl like as I often describe it as Dirty Sock. Anyway, it’s a strong flavored tea but in a positive way but if you don’t like mint and if you don’t like The stinky valerian flavor, maybe try something else because it’s very Minty covering up the stench of dirty socks. Anyway it’s good and I’m into it. It’s especially a great tea if you’re sick. I drank it through the worst of the Can’t Taste and Can’t Smell days of COVID and it was so nice to be able to smell and taste anything and it was so soothing and relaxing during the wheezing and the body aches and tremors.
Good for two brews even when you’re too tired to take the teabag out.

Very flavorful and I found relaxing and encouraged sleep

40 Winks doesn t make me sleepy but it definitely makes me relaxed like a purring kitty in a sunbeam. I taste mainly chamomile but it s not overpowering, I get the brightness of lemon balm and at touch spearmint. There s a hint of lavender but I don t get a dominating valerian so I think it s more of a supporting partner than the main component which is fine because I prefer the chamomile to it.

Best sleep time tea out there! I highly recommend this tea!

★★★★★

My husband has become a “tea snob” because of this tea. It truly helps us sleep. He used to make fun of me and my Adagio teas and called me a tea snob because I do not drink grocery store tea. Now he know why.

Excellent tea before bed. The ingredients do seem to help me relax and sleep more restfully. I think it tastes pleasant as is, but a touch of honey works well too. I brew it using instructions on package.

★★★★★

This is a delicious bedtime tea that tastes great!

★★★★★

I have severe insomnia myself and this tea has helped so much with it. I drink about 30 minutes prior to bed and I find I stay asleep longer. Personally, I think it has a strange taste (due to the valerian root) once it's cooled so I do not recommend this iced.

★★★★★

Awesome Nightime Tea or During The Day To Just Relax Great Taste .

Very smooth and a delightful flavor, and best of all it helps to go to sleep. Relaxing

★★★★★

A perfect bedtime tea, absolutely love the lavender in it

★★★★★

This tea is fantastic. 40 Winks has all the benifits without the space cadet feeling I have experienced with valerian before. I was finding sleep elusive after a recent death in the family. I had a cup of 40 Winks 30 minutes before bedtime and was asleep moments after my head touched down on the pillow. And the flavor makes it tempting to drink just because.

★★★★★

Beautiful, sleepy-making tea! I don't usually like spearmint, but it blends well here and I'm not bothered by it at all. Many nights, my insomnia is too powerful, but this tea gives me more of a fighting chance. I'm going back for more after enjoying my sample packet.
Update 12/26- My 3 oz order of this tea came today, and for the first time I got my tea in a tin! It's gorgeous and I'm even more excited about my tea. Thank you, Adagio!

Definitely helps me sleep a little better, especially with an added bump of valerian root. Reminiscent of Sleepytime.

A perfect tea to wind down with after a busy day. It’s one of my new favorites for before bed.

As always, anything valerian smells and tastes not so amazing, but the tea does it's duty. The taste of the valerian can be made a bit better with a bit of sweetener!

★★★★★

This stuff smells awful but it works. Almost as good as Wild Turkey for a nightcap!

This stuff is crazy effective. I drink some of this stuff an hour before I want to sleep and I am out for a full 12 hours. Amazing. It tastes great too, I love the addition of cherries. Delicious. I double the called for amount of tea (so two teaspoons per cup of water) and steep for a full 10 minutes. So much sleep! @adagioteas

I don’t drink it but my wife loves it for nighttime and she swears it helps her sleep better. We add a little extra chamomile. Smells like mint feet though
