This is the nighttime herbal tea I've been looking for! I usually drink the Sleepy time tea by Celestial seasonings, but this is way way better.
One cup before bed makes for an ideal way to unwind and lull yourself into a deep slumber.

What to say about this tea? I'm not a huge fan of chamomile or mint, so the smell and taste of this tea were not great for me. BUT! Once I was finished drinking the whole cup, I couldn't even stay awake long enough to post this review. So, apparently, it works! It's not something I would want to drink often, just because of the overwhelming mint, but I might keep some on hand for future sleepless nights.
Very nice tea that really puts you to sleep at night. I love the overall flavor of the mint, lavender, and chamomile. It s not medicinal at all, but a really relaxing drink. Don t drink unless you are ready to get really sleepy and check that the Valerian root doesn t interfere with any existing medications. @adagioteas
This “sleepy” tea did make me feel more relaxed and yawny. But it did not put me down immediately. However, I found when I did fall asleep, I slept very soundly and for longer than usual. As someone with chronic sleep issues, sound sleep is often illusive, so that was appreciated. The blend is yummy to drink too. Sometimes wellness teas can be icky, but the blend of chamomile and spearmint with cherry and lavender was a nice sip. Happy Sipping!
This is a good combination of valerian, chamomile, spearmint, and lavender. It's very relaxing and helps you sleep.
I had a cherry!
Chamomile and spear-a-mint
and valerian
Taste changed as it cooled
floral, mint, a bit of fruit
chamomile forefront
I liked this tea, true
but I won't drink it often
It gives me bold dreams!
old review:
Minty and relaxing, I wasn't sure at first, but really enjoyed this tea!
26 Sep 20 communiTEA review: A whole bunch of stuff was noted when I opened the CommuniTEA packet this morning. I looked at the website to find out that this was a sleepy tea. What am I gonna do now! Should I wait ‘til bedtime to drink this? What the heck, I’m retired, I can do what I want and take a nap at any time of day ... so I “ kept on truckin’ ” and drank it! Moderate woodsy and spearmint aromas were noted in the bag and hot in the cup. I’m not a big fan of chamomile, but it was pleasant in this blend. When warm, the Honeybush added a mild honey sweetness to the deal. A very slight but pleasant tartness from the cherries and lemon balm was noted. Moderate woodsy flavors and aromas from the valerian root carried on from start to finish. This herbal has all the expected flavors as advertised. However, there was just too much overpowering floral-ness going on for my liking. I actually do feel a little mellowed-out now, but still awake! (7 mins @ 212ºF, 1/8 tsp sugar)
My goto bedtime tea. Relaxing, soothing and comfy all in one cuppa. Honeyed Camomile is the star of the show, minty freshness aftertaste with an undertone of grounding earthy flavor. Helps me to Have a restful nights sleep every time. 212, 5 min.
This tea has an interesting aroma. You can smell the valerian, mint, and chamomile upfront. The taste is a complex blend of the different flavors, with each sip having someone new take the lead. It did help me sleep better, but too much to drink right before bed time has its own issues with trips to the bathroom 😁
I’m not normally a big chamomile drinker, but the lavender and spearmint in this tea really hit the mark. It’s one of my 2 go-to herbals from adagio.
I hadn’t liked this tea very much at first. Recently added it to puerh and the blend was much more enjoyable than 40 winks by itself
A great tea to have for relaxing into the late hours of night. While the scent right out of the bag is strong and may be offputting, the tea itself is quite mild, with spearmint as the main flavor I tasted.
I loved the taste and smell. If this helps me sleep tonight I will readjust from 4 to 5 stars.
I love sleepy teas and 40 winks doesn't disappoint. I love the taste of sleppy goodness. I use nothing for this blend just straight up naked. ( no I'm not naked...just plain tea is naked) Lol I'm half done with my tea and my eyelids are getting heavy and I'm getting sleepy. Big Yawn and stretch ...last yawn...time to go to bed. steep 4min: 1 tsp: No sweetener'Just Naked' 190 temp
Delicious sleepy time tea. The valerian is up front, but I am one of those people who love the smell and taste of it. The chamomile and mellow spearmint are also prominent flavors. Very relaxing tea, although it is not making me sleepy. Really nice blend.
Amazing tasty tea I like to drink to wind down for the night!
Everything I wanted in a bedtime tea! This tea has become an evening tradition for myself and my two teenagers.
this tea is delicious and soothing, and is a really nice blend - the chamomile flavor is not too overpowering, which I appreciate as I do not love it as the main flavor in a tea.
It’s super delicious! I will definitely be buying this one again!
I love the taste of this tea. Gets the job done without tasting too medicine-y (if you ve had some other herbal teas, you know). @adagioteas
Good one but not as good as the lavender lemon I found after this one. Always looking for good night time teas
Lovely flavor, I enjoy it any time of day but it's a top favorite for right before bed.
The valerian root I think is what makes this a little sour, but I don't mind that at all. And it really does help me get to sleep!
Not my favorite evening-time tea, but still pretty good. Not sure if it helps me sleep better, but I enjoy the routine!
This is as if Celestial Seasoning's Sleepytime grew up and became a successful and financially stable adult - Minty, floral, herbal, there's so many things going on, but it all works together perfectly, and is oh so relaxing. I prefer this tea unsweet right before bed. Sweet dreams!
I expect this tea to be just as effective as the slumbering sloth to be. At least i hope it is. @adagioteas
Really relaxed me and helped me wind down. Great flavor
This is an quite a good tea in my opinion and it does the trick of making me sleepy at night. I need to add sweetener to it for my liking which is a shame but the rock sugar does a great job at giving it the most pleasing taste.
Drinking this tea at night has helped me sleep. The heavier flavor of the Valerian Root took a bit to get used to, but it is not overpowering.
I am still trying to decide if this is going to be my go-to evening tea or not. It is a solid contender as it isn't overly sweet or powerful. If you like lavender and chamomile then this will be a hit for sure I think I was hoping for a little bit more of a pop of the spearmint but I am not finding it. But it is a nice tea to sip while doing some evening work or winding down for bed. It is also nicely flavored once cooled...if you are like me and sometimes forget it is on the bedside table.
A little strong on the flavor for me, but it is good! Not something I would want to have every day, but when I’m in the mood it hits the spot!
Smooth and calming. A nice way to end a day. I put a bit of honey in the tea. It helped settle my stomach.
A very relaxing tea to help you get a good night sleep. Soothing and calming, perfect bedtime tea after a long day.
This is a great tea to have right before bed, will definitely get more in the future.
Absolutely 5 stars! I have all I can do to finish my cup! It’s such a soothing drink after a busy day when you just want to wind down.
A nice, light blend of all the things to help you sleep. The only problem is... The flowers are so tiny they escape all but the tea bags, leaving you chewing your tea if you use any kind of diffuser. I bought this tea for my husband to try to help him sleep, but after that first cup he refuses to touch it unless we get it in tea bags. Otherwise, it has a nice mouth-feel, a relaxing aroma, and with a bit of honey makes for a good cuppa before bed.
This tastes great as a hot bedtime tea, and does exactly as promised. I have to get into bed soon after finishing my cup, or I'll fall asleep sitting up!
I am guessing that it’s the valerian that has an overwhelming and strange flavor. I tried steeping it for less time and it did not help. Not for me, but it did work to help me get sleepy! I’d say give a sample size a try and see how you like it. @adagioteas
AMAZING FLAVOR!!! Perfect relaxation tea...helps promote sleep
This worked to put me to sleep but it’s probably not something I would choose to drink. I will buy it again because it works.
It feels like this tea is trying to do too much and at bedtime I want something a little simpler.
Very fresh tea! Knocked me out in the first couple sips.
It works to put me to sleep. It tastes a bit weird, but it's tolerable if I can't sleep
I forgot that valerian root has such an acrid flavor, but even so, they've made it as pleasant as a valerian tea can be.
I agree with others on this one - too prominent a Chamomile taste, and also too much mint for my liking also. Tried becuse I already use Valerian to help me sleep, but alas, i didn't like it.
While it did relax me and helped me get to sleep quickly, the taste was too medicinal for me. Definitely tastes better hot than cold. I’ll stick with favorites Slumbering Sloth or Long Rest for bedtime tea!
I do like the taste, however, I tend to like more of the chocolates and sweeter teas.
Great stuff. Reminds me of the foxtrot or cha Cha.
If you like chamomile tea then you’ll love this. It’s great for relaxing before bed and it has great flavor
This is my new go-to tea to finish my day. Relaxing and delicious, this is the perfect companion for my bedtime ritual
