Perfect for before bed totally relaxes and soothes you from a hard day.
My son has ADHD and sometimes struggles to fall asleep. He likes this tea to calm him before bed.
Such a great helpful tea. I suffer from terrible insomnia during the warmer months and have long used tea to help that. This was such a lovely flavor with being too floral. The spearmint gives it a lovely cooling effect in the back of the throat.
This is such a nice blend before a nap or bed. I have made it my evening ritual. Better sleep means less migraines. So this has been a game changer for me.
I'm not a tea connoisseur but I do know that this tea relaxes me enough that I can get to sleep and that's exactly what I was looking for.
I really really wanted to like this tea as a replacement for my TJs Well Rested tea or Celestial Seasonings Sleepy Time blend but no way. For some reason I don’t like the chamomile from Adagio. :-( It leaves me with a very dry finish on my throat, almost like I am going to have an allergic reaction that swells up my throat. So sad. I really really love chamomile teas but I wouldn’t get this again. And I wish I could be part of the group that really liked this. :-( I am going to try it again with a lower temp in the water and less steep time so it hopefully doesn’t feel so OP for me. :-)
I love this tea. It is definitely a very relaxing tea to drink.
As an occasional insomniac, and someone who enjoys tea late in the evening, this tea met my expectations and more. Beautiful in it's packaging, just so full of high quality ingredients. The flavor is strong but soothing. You can definitely taste the floral from the chamomile, the honeybush and the valerian make for an earthy sweet taste. Hints of mint, cherry and lemon are also present. It's amazing how this tea blends together. I have been known to have issues with valerian causing leg cramps, but no problems with this tea. It promotes a peaceful and relaxing sleep. Let it steep really well to bring out all the flavor and the effects.
Great calming nighttime tea. Very smoothing and better than 'Sleepy Time Tea'.
Nice mix and helps to calm and center yourself after a hectic time or very busy day. My usual blend I use for aiding in sleep is becoming harder to come by so this is a good alternative.
I drink this tea almost every night. It’s a great cozy blend that helps me sleep!
Great tea for before bedtime. Very soothing and calming.
Love the tea. A light mint flavor. Great right before bed.
Delicious tea. Knocks me right out every time. I’ve recommended this tea to everyone i know with insomnia. Just make sure you have some time to sleep in the next morning
Awesome Tea At Night Made In To Ice Tea ! The Best !
I have loved this tea for years. This is my go-to right before bedtime. I am also now 9 months pregnant and still will settle my anxious thoughts and mind before bed.
Absolute staple.
This is the perfect mellow out at the end of a day, tea. This one has camomile flavor without being overpowering. It's soothing and perfect for unwinding. And if you're like me and sometimes have trouble drifting to sleep, you should consider 40 Winks. It helped me drift to sleep without leaving me drowsy in the morning like some sleep aids. This is officially my go-to sleepy tea.
My kids love this tea. They beg for it everynight.
This is the ultimate bed time tea! It tastes great and makes me feel relaxed and ready for sleep. I noticed some reviews mention a strong smell but I’ve never noticed it. I’ve tried other caffeine free teas before bed but I always go back to this one cause it’s so perfect. Highly recommend!
I love love this tea. This was the first bag I opened. Wonderful flavor and color. I will buy this again.
This tea lives up to its name! I fell asleep faster and slept through the night.
Love this sleepy tea and all its flavors! Minty and complex.
Very good, relaxing, and love the lavender, excellent pre-bed cup of tea
This is my go to night time tea. I bought a small tin, and I went through it so quickly, that I went ahead and bought a pound. I may have over estimated my need, I may have to share with my cat. He loves it too.
The best evening tea -- I really enjoy the herbal flavor, and the valerian makes me so sleepy and ready for bed
Lovely and balanced smooth blend of flavors. Very soothing. My very favorite herbal tea- just perfect.
Smells so good. Tastes really good. Definitely a good one
This has an amazing flavor. I would recommend this tea for sure.
The aroma alone is almost good enough without drinking it. I love this tea. Wonderful night time treat
My husband loves this tea, and he is not a hot tea drinker. He's a terrible sleeper, and this tea helps to calm him down and knock him out.
This is a very different tea. Steeps up to a very unique blend, lots of flavors. Between the valerian which is an acquired taste & the lavender - it’s not my favorite. I’m giving it 5 stars because my daughter who doesn’t care for tea is in love with it & it’s not a bad tea, I just don’t care for the flavors personally.
This is one of my favorite teas for before bed. I love the herbal taste to it and it's a very soothing cup of tea.
My favorite nighttime teas are chamomile, mint, or a blend of both. Bigelow's Sweet Dreams is my favorite and this is close honestly. The funky smell in the bag isn't as bad as others made it seem and once brewed it didn't matter anyway. When steeped for 10 minutes with boiling water, I taste the chamomile and spearmint, with the chamomile being much stronger. There was a subtle flavor which seemed funky but hard to single out. It reminds me a bit of chewing gum that lost its flavor but there's still that dull flavor which remains. I could not taste any of the other flavors. I resteeped for 12 minutes and the chamomile flavor remains, but nothing else really. I'd like to keep this one around but it's very similar to my favorite tea bags so I'll have to compare the two sometime and see which I like more.
The smell of the valerian in the bag is off-putting, but this brews up a rather fragrant cup of very soothing tea.
I really like this one. Great taste and soothing after a long day
Wonderful blend before bed. Relaxing and helps me sleep more soundly.
Definitely taste the chamomile. The mint combo is calming. Will be revisiting again. Looking forward to sleeping well tonight.
Definitely works and a good tasting tea. Unsteeped it has a slight off-putting smell - that's the valerian, but I like this as a night time relaxing drink. A bag will make a couple of cups, experiment with steeping time, I default to 5 minutes, but I think longer might be better for this herbal.
Helps me fall asleep at night, great taste also. Delicious!
Love the scent and flavor! Valerian root really does help me sleep better, but alone has a off-putting smell. This covers up that smell and makes an enjoyable cup of tea before bed.
This is so nice! It’s just slightly different from other sleepy time tea, and beautiful to look at.
Love this! Really does help me fall asleep and tastes nice and soothing. Will repurchase.
Smooth gentle rustic flavors. Graceful. So much cheaper to purchase the large bag of 40 Winks than the cheap tea bag version in grocery store. Fell in love with 40 Winks after first cuppa.
This is a wonderful way to end the day. The blend is phenomenal.
It is very minty so if you are not a huge fan of mint I would stay away from this one.
Great flavor. I add a few rock sugar crystals. Very smooth. I do find it relaxing
The unique combination of ingredients use to make this tea melded together to make a pleasant tasting tea. Not sure if it helped me sleep but it was a nice night time drink
I liked it well enough. Nice flavors, not overpowering. It's at least a soothing flavor, whether or not the valerian makes a difference.
it works. I like that. I mix it with chamomile to soften some of the sharper flavors in there. I drink a big cup before bed and chilllllllll
The teabags are so full of tea it feels wasteful not to reuse them. Tastes excellent and with valerian root as the first ingredient I know it’s more than placebo when I start to feel sleepy drinking it.
