I bought this tea to help my husband sleep better as he had trouble falling asleep. The first night drinking it, he had no problem falling asleep we have tried numerous other night time teas, and this is the best yet.
One cup before bed makes for an ideal way to unwind and lull yourself into a deep slumber.

Tea name needs to be changed.
I purchased this tea for one of my friends suffering from insomnia, and she said she can fall asleep within 10 winks. She really likes this tea!
The mint was so strong great with honey! I'm usually not a mint fan
This definitely has a peppery kick to it, which I didn't mind, but it didn't really get me ready for sleeping.
An excellent tea. I am not usually a fan of mint other than peppermint, but this is an exception. Very calming.
This is waaaaay to heavy on the lavender. I know that people commonly associate lavender with restfulness, however not everyone likes it, and typically when someone doesn't like it, it quite unbearable to them. Unfortunately I cannot seem to find a sleepy tea on Adagio that doesn't contain lavender :(
I ordered this because of the great reviews. It smells and tastes like soap to me. I think it's due to the very prevalent lavender. I was drinking it sitting next to my wife, and she even asked me to get it away from her because of the smell. It also lingered in my Adagio infuser.
We really love this with a bit of honey, right before bedtime. I typically add in a bit of mint as well, which is why 4 stars.
Enjoyed this tea before bed, smooth and easy to drink, not sure if it helped me sleep yet but it is tasty
The taste of this was just okay - drinkable if it helps you sleep, but not a flavor I would want otherwise. It was predominantly chamomile, with a hint of mint and other indistinguishable flavors in the background. There was also a hint of a dirt flavor that I would get every few sips - not sure which ingredient that was from. As far as helping me sleep, I haven't noticed enough of a difference to say whether it has helped or not. I plan to finish out the bag to see if I can discern a notable difference in sleep, but if I cannot tell a difference then I won't purchase again as there are better tasting chamomile teas.
My husband and I love this tea!! Really helps you sleep and has a great flavor.
I've noticed it help me stay asleep rather than wake up in the night as I usually do, but the strong smell of the tea isn't very enjoyable and will stick to the pot after emptying it. It's not a flavor to really write home about but it's not bad either, overall I think I may still use it at times but it won't be a regular routine.
This is the tea that they cannot keep in stock and there's a reason why. My grandmother swears by this tea and tells everyone she can about how well it puts you to sleep. If you can get your hands on it, definitely give it a try!
Very good flavor! Love the option to buy small amount to try them out.
A comforting, lovely tea to add a bit of honey to and sip on before bed.
40 winks doesn't make me sleepy, but it is quite relaxing. With valerian being the main ingredient it is medicinal tasting. I blend with chamomile to soften the valerian.
This tea really helped relax me making it easier to fall asleep. However, the taste of the Valerian was slightly overpowering.
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.
