Very soothing tea, but no effect on sleep at all, even after two cups!
One cup before bed makes for an ideal way to unwind and lull yourself into a deep slumber.

Very soothing tea, but no effect on sleep at all, even after two cups!
I had high hopes for this tea because of all the reviews I read, but unfortunately it did not help me with my insomnia. ): Even though it didn’t help put me to sleep, I did feel more relaxed after drinking it. Also, the flavor of the tea was interesting. I was expecting it to be minty because of the reviews, but I guess I’m more sensitive to the lemon balm since that’s the main thing I tasted. I added a bit of honey to my cup to take the edge off the valerian root, and it wasn’t half bad. I’m going to drink this a few more times just to finish out my sample, but I probably won’t reorder unless it somehow cures my insomnia.
Love! Better than sleepytime! Helps me relax and fall asleep.
I love this sleepy tea to get me nice and drowsy for agood night s sleep.
I was surprised on how well this tea worked! I didn't necessarily fall asleep faster, bt my sleep was deeper and I woke up more relaxed. Turns out my husband and my daughter had the same experience. I'll be having this again!
I love the minty feel of this tea. It’s perfect for a bedtime tea.
One of my favorite teas to have just before bed. Great with a bit of honey
I really like this tea however it is very minty a bit overwhelming but still very relaxing.
Definitely calms the nerves before bed. Flavor is a little strong, but I like it that way. I great mix of all the teas that may help improve sleep.
Nice flavor but I can't say it helped me sleep any more than another decaf tea helps one relax at the end of the day.
Was a gift for my grandparents; they love it and ordered it again themselves!
So yummy! I try to drink this every other night or nights that I cannot fall asleep. It knocks me out in 5! I am not even kidding!
This tea is perfect wen you need to unwind and it does put me to sleep. It also tastes great and I have to fight the cat to leave my cup of tea alone.
delicious blend, definitely will be ordering again.
I had trouble sleeping and after drinking this tea before bed I sleep through the night.
Different, but enjoyable. And actually relaxing. Lots of flavor.
I've had trouble falling to sleep for years. This tea seems to help a bit. This tea is not as unpleasant as other teas i've had with valerian root in it.
Helped my husband who is a chronic insomniac fall asleep! We will be ordering more!
Smells delicious. Very relaxing, mild flavored, nice way to end the evening.
This really works, yes it does! I have trouble falling asleep and this tea has a sleep boosting quality that you can't get from the other brands like sleepy time and other brands. It has a superior quality that makes it truly a blend of fine herbs. The taste is good but the tea gives you that relaxing feeling that will help you get to sleep. Worth every penny and no wonder this tea sells out quickly. Has a odd smell but I think that's the herbs and you don't drink it for the smell. I highly recommend it!!!
Ok flavor but wonderfully quick for helping bring about a restful sleep.
I challenge anyone to drink this and stay awake. So relaxing!
my new bedtime favorite tea. a smooth floral blend
the tea has a pleasant aroma nice color the taste is NOT overwhelming which is a plus
We live on this. Seriously it will help us sleep the whole family enjoys it and we end up making it in the coffee pot. Good for a few steepings!
We originally purchased this as a sample, now it is our go to nighttime tea. My husband and I both love it.
I was surprised with this! My 1st cup of tea, I couldn't even keep my eyes open. Very relaxing, and works like a charm
I call this my sleep tea, every night before bed I have a cup of 40 winks. I do believe it helps me sleep well. Tastes way better than plain old chamomile.
great bedtime tea! within 30 minutes of drinking you will be ready for bed.
love it!!! This works very well to giving me a better rest, I couldn't believe it, but it works very well.
This one helps me sleep so well! Sometimes the day ends in stress. This helped so much. And, it tastes good too!
I would rate higher, but Im not a fan of camomile I would love to see valerian tea without the hay taste of camomile
The valerian scent is extremely powerful, but this tea tastes delightful and absolutely helps me sleep through the night.
Helps so much to wind down from a long day.
Perfect with a touch of honey
I typically stop eating by 7pm and drink this around 8 on an empty stomach...goodnight!!!
My new 'pre-bed' drink. I've tried to drink it every night, and I think it really helps to calm down.
Great help for you to have a nice relaxing sleep! Also on the cold winter nites,
!
I find this to be very comforting. The perfect nightcap.
I have trouble sleeping and hoped this would be the answer. It's just okay. I'll finish what I have, but won't be ordering more.
Amazing and soothing. Love to have this tea after a long day at work to relax or just when I am preparing to go to bed.
Bought a sample as a gift for my sister
This is a nice tea right before bed, but I found that I didn't reach a deep sleep very well with the valerian root. I have the same issue with medicines that cause drowsiness, so it may just be me.
This is my go-to night time tea. It’s not super flavorful but does help me relax before bed.
I occasionally have trouble sleeping and this always does the trick. I’d heard that valerian root wasn’t very tasty but this blend is fantastic. A little mint, a little lavender,make this a very soothing brew.
Beautiful tea that is not the typical taste of a tea meant to induce sleep. You can really taste the Valerian. I look forward to this tea every night before bed. Only difficulty is waiting for tea to brew for 15 min before drinking!
Great tea. Nice way to relax and unwind after a long day. If you like mint and chamomile then you will love this tea.
It did somewhat help with going to sleep at night but wasnt a fan of the taste
This tea is amazing I have shared it with friends and they have found it to be incredibly helpful as a sleep aid. I would highly reccomend this tea.
The flu season is tough on sleep, and this tea helped me find the rest that I needed.
This stuff not only tastes lovely, without any additives, but it actually seems to work. Granted it takes two cups to put me to sleep, but boy does that second cup ever knock me out! I felt like a truck hit me and I struggled to make it back to the bedroom. Then, once I got there and in bed, I had a restful nights sleep and felt awake and rested in the morning! Spectacular results on this one! I will be ordering more, so I can keep it on hand on those nights where I just can't shut my brain off.
