The flavors in 40 winks relaxes me instantly. I’m able to wind down before going to bed and easily fall asleep.
I had a cup before bed and I went right to sleep. I love this tea.
Nice and relaxing. I enjoy drinking this tea each evening.
Love having this before bed every night! This is a tea I always have on hand.
I love this tea... Opening the bag was a nostalgic flashback to my English Grandmother, Nora Pat. I could instantly envision her teapot with tea cozy and beautiful teacups that I remember from childhood. Tasted delightful with a touch of honey... slept wonderfully!
I would rate it at a level of approximately 39/40 Winks.
Every evening before bed I enjoy this delicious tea. I highly recommend for my fellow insomniacs.
Great tea for bedtime. Very refreshing and relaxing. My husband loves it.
This one is a household favorite! Helps us sleep so soothingly!
I got this tea mostly for my husband to help him get better sleep. We both ended up loving it. A great way to finish off the night and get cozy before drifting off to sleep. When we ran out we just went back to regular chamomile tea at night but it just isn't the same. Now we are hooked and will keep reordering this tea.
Absolutely love the smell! This tea tastes wonderful & does a great job of setting the mood for sleep!
Enjoyed this tea. It was smooth and refreshing. A nice night time bland
Very nice bedtime tea. It's fairly delicate and I like to brew it a little stronger than directed. A bit of an update - I had this again from the package a few months after opening and the cherries definitely tasted like they'd passed their prime. I ended up tossing the rest of the batch.
I absolutely love this tea with a teensy bit of honey and a splash of oatmilk before bed. I sleep like a baby!
So good! My BF has a hard time sleeping. Please make more teas with valerian root and please work Kava into your future!
This has a unique a lovely taste. It has Valerian root in it which smells horrible and tastes horrible on it own. You cannot taste it or smell it at all in this tea. I was ecstatic to discover this. If you are struggling to sleep I would highly recommend this.
If you are looking for relaxation, you have come to the right place. It is like a peaceful wave washes over your mind and body. If I have a guest over, I often bring this out as our night cap...the next day they demand to know where I found it. There is a natural sweetness to this tea so no additives needed to enjoy. The only thing I will note is that this tea smells a bit funky...but that is the nature of valerian root.
My favorite sleepy tea! Calms my thoughts and helps me breathe deeply and easily. Also good when it's raining outside and you're curled up with a good book. Has an almost medicinal flavor, but not in an offensive way.
I enjoyed this evening tea. I didn't feel much of a sleep-inducing effect, but maybe that's just me. It's a very tasty and enjoyable cup.
a new favorite for me! i’ve always been skeptical of teas helping people fall asleep but i was definitely feeling a little drowsy by the end of my cup
This as strong spearmint taste and is a soft sweet back from the sweet chamomile. The sweet is like pineapple. And since it has chamomile I steep it for 5 to 10 minutes. And it does relax you and eases the body.
The tea has a great flavor!! And it’s better than most Sleepytime tea’s
This is a wonderful sleepy tea. It definitely puts me in the mood to go down for the night.
The initial impression when smelling dry is surprising and floral. It has faint notes of what can only be described as feet. In fact, we call it 'foot tea' at home. It does the trick and helps you sleep in spite of the odd smell of valerian mingling with the pleasant floral presence.
A great blend for right before you go to sleep. Definitely recommend
Love using this when having issues falling asleep.
Put me right to sleep! Flavor wasn't bad either. Will be buying again in the future.
Originally the scent from the bag turned me off, but I powered on. And I’m glad. It’s a great tea, takes the edge off, and preps me for my sleep ritual!
This tea is a cupful of relaxation before bed. A drop of honey & you’re set!
This tea smells fantastic and is exactly the kind of soothing blend I look for in the evening. Must more interesting than a basic chamomile.
Great tea for the end of a long day. It really helped me relax and have a nice calm sleep. Can’t wait to order more
This tea was okay, It was only okay because it had a bit of a bitter flavor, I liked it.
Great bedtime tea, smells awful but tastes great. Like clockwork, I drink it and get a little more sleepy 20-30 min later.
Hard to get past the smell but once you brew it’s great!
Such a soothing and wonderful blend. I have been drinking this for years before bed and I love it. I have had terrible insomnia for over a decade and while this dose not erase the problem it has been an important part of my bedtime routine. The relaxing effects of this tea are only matched by the wonderful flavor. I can not recommend this tea enough!
I did not care for the smell, but once I got past that the taste was very nice. I like to think that it helped me get to sleep.
A good tea for before bedtime. Kind of a weird taste from the valerian, but not as bad as some other valerian teas I ve had.
I really wanted to like this because I have been looking for a bedtime tea... but this is not the tea for me.
I’m a night owl, but also someone that absolutely needs to get 8 hours of sleep. This really helps me quiet my head so I get get to sleep and not have to mainline caffeine the next day. Some may prefer sweetener, but you may want to try it first to help determine how much.
I suffer from insomnia. This tea does an amazing job of helping me fall asleep when even my medication isn't working. I add sweetener because of the taste of Valerian but highly recommend
Really does make you tired. Works very well. Has an earthy taste
It’s good. I still prefer Foxtrot a bit more, but this is a close 2nd.
This seems more effective as a sleepy time tea than Slumbering Sloth and I don't have to wake up at 3am to order it.
Loooooooove this tea!!! It helps me sleep and is a nice relaxing way to unwind at night!
Awesome tea, definitely recommend. Got the sample and buying more soon!
Not my favorite, but does the job. The flavor is pretty mutted. Kinda reminded me of straight chamomile tea (with echos of other flavors). I was hoping for a bit more mint at least (apparently I'm a fiend). I would drink it in a pinch, but probably wouldn't order a full batch.
This tea was nasty. Tasted terrible. Left a film on my teeth that tasted just as bad. Gave me a headache. I did give 2 stars because it did help me sleep.
Flavor is not great, but it gets the job done! Whole house smells like lavender when this is steeping which is nice
Great for those few random nights when I can't sleep. Calming, relaxing and soothing!
Love this tea. Helps me get to sleep quickly. The aroma is very pleasant. I will definitely buy this again
