Hard to get past the smell but once you brew it’s great!
One cup before bed makes for an ideal way to unwind and lull yourself into a deep slumber.

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
I can’t say this tea has had a significant impact on my insomnia, but it tastes lovely and makes a relaxing evening ritual. It is naturally a bit sweet and has a lovely complex flavor. It’s the first herbal tea I have enjoyed for itself, not just treated as medicine.
This was WAY too strong for me. I used half the amount on my second cup and it was better but I still still like it. Maybe it had too many different flavors for me. It was a VERY pretty tea to brew though.
Great Tea! I love the taste and the aroma of this tea.
good tea but didn't make me as sleepy as expected. still very relaxing tea to drink.
Good soothing end of the day tea, great for those cold winter nights after being on the water
Valerian definitely does the trick of making you sleepy. This tea has a strong aroma that I liked okay at first and then got kind of weary of. I am hoping a break will make me like it again.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this blend. It's so nice and soothing right before bed after a long day. I was worried the valerian root would overpower the other flavors but it all ces together really well for a light but flavorful cup.
Not a huge fan of this one, but shared it with my neighbor who thought it was tops!
I did not like the flavour of this tea. If you like lavender, you might love it. Gave it to my sister in law, and it knocked her out!
Absolutely delicious. I added this tea to my nightly routine and it is very comforting.
I’ve tried many teas to help with sleep, this is the best one yet!!!
I love to drink a cup of this in the evening. It relaxes me and gets me ready to sleep.
I was looking for a tea to go to sleep with. For me this is it. I am heavy tea drinker, usually black strong ones. This just the one for night, good flavor and calms me down. Highly recommend it.
Pleasant taste, but it did not do much for getting me to sleep
the perfect bed time tea! The flavors balance really well and each cup always seems to be perfect.
This blend has a really nice fragrance and flavor. I was not expecting how well it would actually help me to relax and wind down for the night. I have been enjoying chamomile and/or peppermint before bed but this is a winner!
This is definitely a keeper in my book! It makes me nice and relaxed before bed.
Amazing herbal tea. No natural flavors? Check. 3 minutes for anxiety, 5 minutes an hour before you sleep
Very herbal and calming. I was a bit worried the mint flavor would be overpowering, as I don't like minty stuff, but it acts as a nice accent only and doesn't overpower the other flavors of the tea whatsoever.
Delicious and it actually helps me relax before going to sleep. I take it every single night.
Perfect for insomniacs or someone who just wants to relax at the end of an evening!
A supple, yet genteel blend of aromatics. The mélange of flavours leaves one contemplating the higher things before taking one’s repose.
This blend of herbs gives you a calming feeling. Reminds me of the summer days spent out in nature.
Love love love I will purchase again. I infused as directed 3 min at 212
I love this tea! It tastes like peppermint and chamomile with some added sweetness. What I especially like about this is that little pieces of chamomile don't make their way through my stainer (also from Adagio) into the tea. A lot of other chamomiles have little specs that are small enough to get through any strainer and just float around the tea which I am not a fan of, but this one did not. I drink it hot at night with honey to help me sleep. I usually have insomnia but surprisingly, this tea works better than normal chamomile does for me! (I make it at 190 even though it recommends a different temp because I'm a baby when it comes to burning my tongue)
Great flavor! You can taste all the different elements and they work very well together. Definitely helped me get to sleep.
Wonderful to fall asleep with. My body feels ready to sleep after the first sip. It's a perfect blend for winding down. I plan on purchasing more.
Decide to try a sample size of this tea and I’m a fan
Love this nighttime blend, always seems to do the trick in relaxing me before it’s time to hit the hay. It does have a slight strong smell so maybe store in a different area from other teas but other than that love this tea!
I love 40 Winks. Lately I’ve had a hard time getting to sleep, this helps so much. After I have a cup, I find that I’m falling asleep faster. The taste is fantastic. I haven’t added any honey like I usually do with night time teas, but it’ll probably be a nice addition. Definitely keeping this one in stock.
My new favorite evening blend, I have at least one cup every night to help relax at the end of the day.
This is my all time favorite tea. I have it every night before bed!
Enjoying this tea, post Thanksgiving, with a few more chamomile flowers, a slice of lemon and bit of honey and enjoying its slight herbal flavor...a nice way to wind down the day.
