★★★★☆
I like the taste of this. It’s a tad sweet even without honey but I usually add honey. As for whether it makes me sleep, not so much. It does help with calm though.
One cup before bed makes for an ideal way to unwind and lull yourself into a deep slumber.

Valrian taste is not my favorite but I purchased this tea for its calming properties and I have to tell you that it really does work more then any other calming herbs
Honestly, this one tasted weird to me. I’m not sure what it was in the ingredients, but the mixture had a nettle sort of flavor and very stem-y. I really wanted to like it (it has some of my favorites) but this one just wasn’t for me.
Love this tea! I was looking for a replacement for my nightly cup and this is better than the original 😁.
It’s soothing, but doesnt make me sleepy, just calms me down.
Upon opening the bag, I thought this smelt terrible, but it brewed into a nice tea. It still tastes a little medicinal, but it's very pleasant, and adding a little honey made it nice. I can't say it put me to sleep, but it did make me feel relaxed.
LOVE THIS TEA. The flavor is nice, and I've found myself sleeping SO much better on the nights I drink it!
Mild, delicious, and slept like a baby! My mother agreed with how well it helped with sleep too.
Sleep like a baby. One cup and I don’t eKe until morning.
I have insomnia and can’t sleep well, I’ve been taking melatonin pills along with this tea and I fall asleep within 15 minutes! Amazing!
I nice quality tea. I like to drink it before bedtime to relax. Flavor is nice but I feel like it is missing something.
It’s very calming relaxing and sets the night tone
I bought this tea for my mom who was having trouble sleeping. 5-10 minutes after drinking it so was out and stayed asleep all night.
I liked this tea. It smelled weird in the tin but smelled and tasted good when brewed. I didn’t sleep particularly well though. Will update of it conks me out next time.
Doesn’t help me get to sleep faster, but still tastes delicious
I love this tea. It's rapidly become part of my daily bedtime routine. It's soothing, relaxing, and the perfect end of the night warmth.
Wonderfully effective and tasty sleep aid, works very well with other sleep herbs
Best blend relaxation tea I've ever had. Ingredients are a perfect blend!
A pleasent way to end the evening. The aroma is nice and the flavor is soft but crisp.
This is my bedtime go to. The flavors send me right off to sleep.
Love this! Very refreshing and a very smooth taste
Such a nice, gentle tea to end the evening with. On top of that, I really found myself quite relaxed and slept well after drinking this tea. A wonderful non-medical alternative to wind down after a stressful day.
A good night time tea to help with sleep. The valerian is not overpowering.
I got this for my sister to replace sleepy time tea as a loose-leaf alternative. Perfect! She really enjoyed it quite a bit.
Great tea to wind down before bed. Have been drinking this the past few nights since I got it and feel myself more relaxed getting into bed.
Love this tea! I’ve had sleep problems for a long time and while this isn’t a cure all, it does help me wind down to get to bed easier.
I'm not a fan of herbal teas, but I thought I'd try 40 Winks because of the valerian. Valerian calms me but I hate the flavor of it. This tea does an excellent job of masking it. You can taste the chamomile and mint easily. Also the lemonbalm. Like most herbal teas, it's a little weak compared to black teas. However, this will probably be my go-to night tea.
Love this tea. Smooth and tasty. Slept so good! I drink it every night.
Nice chamomile and lavender flavor. Chamomile alone makes me sleepy and this just amplifies that so I am nice and relaxed.
For me this tea tasted about average compared to other sleepytime teas I have tried. With the mint, the valerian and the florals there was kind of a lot going on. I've had it before bed for a few nights now, but I'm not sure if it has made any difference for my sleep
It tastes meh, but it seriously knocks me out. Valerian Root can be a sedative for some people, but it can also do nothing and even the opposite for some so your mileage may vary.
A little bit earthy, soft floral chamomile, and a little citrusy. Perfect right before bed tea
I don’t usually like camomile but I do like this blend. It definitely promotes sleep and helps me wind down from the day
I was looking to replace sleepytime and this blend does the trick!
Usually I hate chamomile, but this was calming and not overpowering.
This is a wonderful bedtime tea! I’ve found the flavors combine to be very soothing, and really does promote solid sleep.
I have been drinking this for a week now and absolutely love it. I can definitely tell that it helps calm my muscles and nerves. It's amazing what a little cup can do to improve the end of my day
Great gift for my sleep deprived brother. He said it's been helping him.
40 Winks tea is amazing. I love mixing the flavors of mint, chamomile, and lavender. This tea is part of my nightly ritual before bed.
I think the only thing that could make this tea better is a BIT more spearmint. Even in that case, this tea is delicious and soothing and I have no complaints
It wasn t horrible, but not my taste. The flavors seemed to be competing with each other.
I drink this tea almost every night and helps me relax and sleep better IMHO
Bold valerian smell is very stinky and you better like chamomile. There is SO MUCH going on in this Tea; lavender, chamomile, spearmint, valerian. All that said it does seem to relax, help you drift off, not sure if a placebo effect, if it would work with any decaf tea. But the history of Valerian, who am I to argue with history.
Delicious & oh so soothing! It took me ages to find a "sleepy time" tea without peppermint or other major antigalactagogues. I'd still be cognizant due to the spearmint & not drink multiple cups on a daily basis if you're breastfeeding, but I've been able to enjoy this tea and wind down and relax and just take a dang time out without any drop in milk supply.
I have been having sleep issues. This tea really helps me sleep!
I don't typically like minty teas, but this one has such a mild peppermint taste that it's actually quite enjoyable. I am not sure if this has helped me fall asleep any faster than normal, but I do enjoy it after dinner.
This is such q great sleep time tea! At first i was skeptical based on the reviews as no teas really make me sleep, but this really does the trick! I think the Valerin is a nice touch. I’m planning on making it a regular in my tea collection.
Very effective tea. Definitely helps me get to sleep
It was okay. Very floral. I just wanted to try it didn’t know what to expect.
Tasty and comforting. Normally valerian tea is very stinky but this one doesn’t have the same “funk” many others do.
