This stuff will knock you out. I tend to steep a bit longer, 12-15 minutes at 212, to create a strong brew. I love the smell of this tea when brewed as well, though I know some do not like the aroma of valerian root.

I LOVE this tea. It has helped me sleep so much better, and I noticed a difference when I ran out. I bought the big bag this time! So effective! I used to take melatonin, and this has replaced it. I love it.

This is the best sleepytime tea I've ever had! Usually these blends are heavy on the mint, but this one is perfectly balanced.

I love this tea, the smell all by itself is comforting and makes me drowsy, but I do a little dance whenever I drink it because it is so good.

Great blend. Definitely helps me sleep so much better than your typical sleepy time blends from other companies.

This blend’s intriguing fragrance foreshadows what can best be described as narcotizing. I sleep like a baby thereafter.

★★★★☆

A nice comforting tea. In the moment it’s fantastic but leaves an odd after taste.

3 min steep · 212°F

★★★★★

I have only drank this tea once so far since I’ve had it. I definitely recommend it either not sweetened at all or sweetened just a little bit if it’s too sweet it’s absolutely unbearable to drink. But overall, the flavor is very soothing

Very herbal and woodsy, but was looking for the "relaxing" factor and really wasn't all that different from celestial seasons sleepy time teas, but more $

Delicious taste and I enjoyed it even when I over steeped it. I found I felt relaxed and had better sleep

3 min steep · 212°F

★★★★☆

The valerian root smell is strong with this. Overpowering enough that I don't drink this as often as I planned. It is very drinkable and relaxing.

More sleepy time teas, please! This makes for a wonderful break from my favorite decaf chocolate truffle.

Although I enjoy this tea and its woodsy flavor, I have not noticed any effect on my sleep. I will continue to drink this over store bought brands.

40 Winks is delicious and soothing. I have a cup about 45 minutes before bed and I am sleeping better.

★★★★★

Melatonin has nothing on this. I drank a cup and thirty minutes later I could barely keep my eyes open. This tea tastes so good! I would recommend it.

This sleepy tea is great! A lot of sleepy teas I've had in the past have licorice in it and I don't like the taste. This one is lovely and calming, not too overpowering. The lavender and chamomile are definitely the stars of this tea! I prefer a stronger tea, so I used 1 tbsp. for about 8 oz.

Holy moly that's good. The bright sensation of spearmint lunges at you, then quickly mellows out, carried by the earthy tones of the other ingredients. I had a really hard day and I couldn't sleep, but this tea started my eyes to feeling heavy and actually did what is described on the package. I didn't think it would be this legit, but it is. I will be keeping this one stocked.

Smooth, calming, and perfectly balanced with subtle flavors—this tea is ideal for relaxing after a long day.

★★☆☆☆

40 Winks missed the mark in my personal opinion. I had high hopes for this tea. I mix it with different tea leaves so that it can be somewhat enjoyable. I really hate to waste tea. I’m so happy I got a sample of it.

40 winks has a stronger flavor than I’m used to before bed but it worked well.

Subtle flavors here. Keep in mind that I double my portion size, so the fact that it was still mild was surprising. I also added a little sweetner. Did I sleep better? Nah, but it was a nice treat to drink to enjoy before bedtime.
