A very flavorful tea! Similar to the foxtrot but with a more citrusy aftertaste than the peppermint of the foxtrot.
One cup before bed makes for an ideal way to unwind and lull yourself into a deep slumber.

A very flavorful tea! Similar to the foxtrot but with a more citrusy aftertaste than the peppermint of the foxtrot.
Great tea for evening, I drink a cup while getting settled in for the evening and it helps me sleep.
My favorite night-time tea, instantly calms me down while leaving a subtle sweetness behind.
Good. Very calming. I felt it was a little heavy on valerian root. Maybe just my palate.
I bought this because I have problems falling asleep. This is mild and gives a cozy, calm feeling while drinking.
Great for drinking before bed or after work to relax.
Absolutely DELICIOUS!! Helps me sleep but the taste I would drink it all day! One of my favorites
Not a fan of the aroma at all. However, the tea itself is rather good and great for your pre-bedtime ritual.
My son loves this tea to help him sleep. We always keep some on hand.
A really nice tea, soothing and the valerian root and lavender aren't too strong.
A nice tea, a lot of different flavors going on at once. I can definitely taste the lavender, with hints of peppermint.
I've heard so much about this particular blend, and decided to take a risk by diving into the 16oz bag. (Hopefully Adagio restocks the smaller sizes soon; but it's definitely worth buying in bulk!) The chamomile comes through great and it's the perfect bedtime tea. An excellent tea for nighttime anxiety as well!
This is a mellow but flavorful tea. Relaxing and complex.
This tea is amazing. It really helps me to fall asleep.
This is a nice refreshing minty tea to have before bed.
What a delicious way to wind down at the end of the day!
Great product. The tea had a nice flavor. I would buy it again
This is by far my favorite...for those of you who have anxiety this is the tea to have...I brew it after dinner and sip on it until bed...love it..very calming and helps put me into a calmer state and helps me drift to sleep...
This is a tasty way to wind down before bed. Love it!
Yummy and so relaxing before bed. Perfect on a cold night.
* Still a favorite for cool nights before bed. I always make sure to buy a replacement before I run out.
I suffer from anxiety and insomnia. While the medicine I take for insomnia does help to a degree sometimes my anxiety is just too high and I can t get to sleep. This really helped me to be able to relax enough to fall asleep. Didn t taste half bad either!
I have this every night and I wake up feeling well rested.
Smells great and tastes great but on first try I did not feel sleepy. Not sure I thought it would but we shall see lol. No matter what I like the taste.
This is the perfect relaxing in the evening tea. Even the smell of it calms me down right away.
A cup of this tea at night makes me sleepy. I was taking valerian root, but the smell of this, even in capsule form, is horrible. I think the lavender helps to mitigate this smell and taste. It is enjoyable to drink this tea and it helps me sleep.
It does actually help relax me, I’m just not big on the taste of chamomile or I would’ve rated it highee
I liked this tea, very soothing chamomile notes with a hint of the other flowers.
I don't know if this tea actually helps me sleep or if it's just a placebo effect, but I do like having it on hand after a stressful day! The flavor is not something I would have chosen on my own, but I've grown to like it quite a bit.
Love the flavors of this tea just before bedtime.
Good herbal tea. It's nice for a calming bedtime cup
I love this in the evening, very smooth. I don’t notice a smell from the valerian like other reviewers.
Really smooth & calming, I like the flavor better than Celestial Seasons sleepy time & about the same as Trader Joe's well rested tea. 3/4 of the way through a cup & I'm nodding off lol
Flavor-wise it is not my favorite, but it is relaxing.
I'd hoped this would be a bit more my taste than straight chamomile for sleep, but it wasn't quite what I expected. Still pretty good, but I think I'll stick with the cheaper chamomile in the future.
Nice flavor and very relaxing at the end of the day. I'm not sure it actually helps me sleep more easily but it is a nice way to relax and unwind on a cool fall evening.
This is one of the best nighttime teas I ve tried. While the taste isn t exactly my cup of tea, because it s a little too herbal, it s better flavor than the rest, and by the time I finished my cup, I was nodding off.
Smooth and calming. This tea has a good taste and helps with winding down before bedtime.
So I’ve never had valerian root before. It’s a bit stinky. But this isn’t too bad. My wife hates valerian root and she said she could handle this though. It seemed to work, and it kinda knocked me out for a while.
Delicious and relaxing. I really enjoy this in evenings.
40 Winks has become part of my bedtime routine. It smells funky thanks to the valerian, but the final brew tastes quite pleasant with a little sugar or honey, and it helps me sleep quite well.
Tastes like sleepy time tea. It does help me relax at night which is nice.
My new favorite tea. And everyone else that I've picked up a sample for!
The tea has all the components for a good night s sleep! We love to wind down at the end of the evening with a cup of 40 Winks to help us sleep well. Although it does have valerian root, which is typically a prominent flavor/scent in blends, it allows the other flavors to come through in the this one. Definitely recommend to those who d like to try a natural sleep aid.
Was sort of scared to try this one, valerian root has such a distinctive and nasty odor. However was pleasantly surprised at the mildness of flavor. Not my favorite, I like the Daydream blend much much more.
A light, relaxing tea that really did help me fall asleep.
This tea had an unexpected flavor that I genuinely enjoyed. When first scooping it into the pot, I assumed it would have a light, herbal flavor. While the herbal taste was there, it was not as watered down as I expected. It was full of flavor and absolutely delicious. I’m not sure it made me any sleepier than usual, but it was a relaxing tea before bed.
Doesn't necessarily knock me out but it's a good relaxing tea
At first the smell of the dried tea was a little off putting, but overall it's a pretty good blend of different herbs.
Helped really well with my night time anxiety. Definitely a more “Fresh” taste than the sleepy-time tea you get at the store. I do wish they had a tea for night time with Valeryian Root in it, though.
Love this tea as it provides me with tranquility at night right before bed!
