This is one of the best sleepy time teas I have ever tried. Anything with valerian root usually tastes terrible, but this one is a nice flavor that I actually enjoy drinking before bed.
One cup before bed makes for an ideal way to unwind and lull yourself into a deep slumber.

This is so so so good. Zen in a cup. Delicious taste, soothing sent.
This is my favourite going to sleep tea. I drink one cup basically everyday. While the sleep pre-infusion is not the best, the smells disappear after the water is added. This tea is sweet but not overly.
The chamomile and the spearmint are the strongest flavors wee noticed. The honey Bush, lavender and valerian provide a comfortable base for the drink. Seems like its the kind of tea you either really love or really dislike it. We really love it.
Perfect for calming the stomach and relaxing before bed.
Without a doubt the best way to prepare for sleep. Every time I have acup before bed time I sleep solid and I must say my dreams are fun.
The taste is okay - herbally and a mix of odd flavors. The scent of the dry tea is odd (I hear that's the Valerian root), but the brewed drink itself is mild and chamomile-forward. Regardless, this stuff puts me out like a light. Excellent for stressful nights or insomnia for me.
It tastes great, but it doesn't really help my insomnia. It does have a calming effect, I felt less anxious. I just didn't sleep. But, I love the flavor and might just keep drinking it for my anxiety.
Tried this as a sampler first and loved it so much that i bought the biggest size and it is now a staple in my tea collection. It's a wonderful tea for those restless nights
Yummy! Definitely a calming bedtime tea. With all the lavender and chamomile. Very earthy and floral.
Really good clean herbal blend. A comforting sip, strongly chamomile-based, but benefitting from the other herbs present as well. Ordered a sample size and the bag was bigger and fuller-looking than the others, but it seems I need the same amount of tea for a pot as a regular herbal, which is a plus. Star taken off for dead snail found in package.
it's nice to have when trying to go to sleep early
This tea is alright. I'm not really a fan of the flavor, but it does help me get sleepy. It's more of a medicinal tea than a pleasurable tea, and there's nothing wrong with that.
Very herbaceous and slightly spicy. Its a nice tea, but not something I'd want right before bed
I have fallen in love with this tea, despite my abiding hatred for valerian root! Does valerian root smell like utter death to everyone else, or is it just me? My girlfriend couldn't quite understand what the big deal was when I nearly gagged upon opening the packet. I've always hated it but wanted to give this tea a try anyway, and I'm glad I did! The valerian root smells BAD before steeping, but seriously mellows out and plays nice with the other flavors while hot. Settling down with a mug of 40 Winks has now become a bedtime ritual for us, and my sleep habits are thanking me for it.
This is my wife's favorite tea, she drinks it almost every night.
My 2-year-old with a sleep disorder has been drinking this tea with us every evening since we got it. She almost sleeps through the night now, and I am actually sleeping almost all night as well. It has single-handedly almost completely resolved our family's insomnia problems.
A nice tea for bedtime. I liked the addition of mint
Simply relaxing to have before bed, I'd recommend this to anyone who has trouble sleeping!
It did not really did not help me sleep, but it is delicious.
Lovely tea for relaxing at the end of a long day...
I bought this for my sister who has a lot of issues falling asleep and she says it was very relaxing.
i love all the herb teas on the website, but this was one of the most delightful ones. it's so sweet without any additional sugar.
This tea tastes amazing! I make it into hot tea and add honey to drink before bed. My teenage daughter drinks this every night. She finds it relaxing and wishes she could be surrounded by the scent of it all the time.
The smell was overpowering, which did not excite me. But I tried it nonetheless and the taste is milder than the smell had me expecting. It has become a regular part of my pre-bed ritual and is effective at helping me unwind.
The flavor is great! It’s my new nightly routine.
The valerian root is very nice, and helps me relax on stressful nights. This one puts me to sleep fairly easily.
Nice combination of flavors of mint and chamomile.
I love this tea. I am able to relax and fall asleep within 30 minutes. This will definitely be a staple on my tea shelf.
I recently started rediscovering my love of tea (if that makes any sense) and this is the first I've tried from Adagio. I love its smooth flavor, especially the chamomile and valerian root. I noticed others mentioning it helps them sleep... if it does that, I'll be buying in bulk.
A woodsy flavor, and I'm drinking this a couple of hours before my normal bedtime, but I am feeling sleep drinking this. The chamomile is also distinctly there.
I really don't know if I'm just tired or if this is psychosomatic based on what I think the ingredients should do to me, but I'm heading to bed a couple of hours early. Not sure it would work as well on someone in the middle of their day, but a couple of hours early can be useful.
This tea tastes really good, I put some of my blueberry pancake tea in with it and it tastes so good!
I love drinking this tea right before bed time. It helps me calm and prepare for a good night of sleep
Very comforting and tasty, but a steep longer then 5-6 minutes turns it a bit astringent.
My favorite tea in the evening. If peace could have a flavor, this would be it.
A very pleasant evening tea. I feel like it significantly helped me calm down for bedtime.
While the flavor is not... my cup of tea... this blend has me ready for bed in half a cup! Not an easy task with my anxiety levels!
I had high hopes for this teas. While it did make me sleepy I could taste too much of the valerian and it was too bitter, even when I steeped it less than recommended.
Perfect for a good nights sleep. Tons of flavor and best suited slowly.
Very mild tea. Perfect for the evening when you’re winding down.
Holy gamoly (side note: hamoly is a humerous typo here). This one knocked me on my ass. Be ready to sleep!
While it’s not my favorite flavor-wise (I prefer straight chamomile), I must say, I have been sleeping soundly since I started drinking 40 Winks before bed. I enjoy it with honey. Will definitely order more.
this is a great end of the day tea very relaxing gives me a good sound nights sleep...
This tea is so good and relaxing! Especially with a little milk or cream. If you're worried about the flavor of the valarian root, don't be! The spearmint and other flavors don't fully mask it, but they do compliment each other very well.
Visually it's a beautiful blend. It's worked its way into my nightly routine to wind down before bed.
This tea is just perfect for winding down after a long day. All the flavors are so smooth, and my husband can't go without it.
I love this tea. I have purchased multiple times now and will continue to do so. It is my go to tea when I am having trouble sleeping and always helps me get to sleep without feeling groggy or anything like medicines do.
I have to say it looks lovely in the bag. The flavor is nice and lightly floral, though I prefer it with honey (I have a bit of a sweet tooth). Most importantly, it put me right to sleep.
Tastes very medicinal, not the greatest flavor-wise. Unsure if it actually helps with sleep.
One of the best most relaxing tea’s ever! Perfect to have right before bed
