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.
One cup before bed makes for an ideal way to unwind and lull yourself into a deep slumber.

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.
I'm not sure if it actually helped me sleep. It was a nice tasting tea though.
I love to drink this in the evening. Very calming!
This is my favorite bedtime tea, the perfect blend of herbs. Delicious!
What a wonderful nights sleep you get when you sip this delicious combination of camomile and other herbs
A very flavourful tea. Very good for reading or chilling after a busy work day.
Add a little of honey during the cold months and it helps with a sore throat.
Love this tea, very relaxing, and I enjoy the lavender taste as well. I purchased this to replace another well known tea company sleepy tea I was using which has very similar ingredients.
This is a complex blend of flavors for a bedtime tea. Valerian root can be overpowering, but this blend balances notes of earthier rooibos, fresh mint, and hints of floral and cherry. The mint leaves
Goodnight 😴 Love it. Smooth, with or without honey.
I prefer an evening tea that is more chamomile-heavy. 40 winks had a bit too much peppermint in it for me.
I have trouble falling asleep. I just can't seem to shut by brain down and end up tossing and turning because I am worried about not being able to fall asleep. So, last night was the first time I tried this tea, and I really enjoyed it. It does have a slightly medicinal aroma, but I find the taste to be wonderful. Minty and not watery, I enjoyed the cup start to finish. Valerian root can be pungent, but I did not find this to be the case here. I am not sure if this tea helped me fall asleep or not, but I went to bed relaxed and fell asleep with no trouble. Try a sample and see if it helps.
Knocked me out! This may be one of my new favorite bedtime teas.
This is the perfect, gentle tea before bedtime. I was hesitant when I opened the package but in my tea cup it was delightful!
Great for bed, definitely needs sugar though. I recommend using demurara sugar
Great for calming down at night. I do find that it makes me a bit queasy if I don't as sugar
If you are looking for a great bedtime tea, this is it. The valerian root makes it smell unique but also makes it super effective, even for people who have trouble getting to sleep.
Love this tea!! Great taste and aroma to lull you to sleep.
I bought this tea because I have problems falling asleep and staying asleep. It tastes fine, but I really don't see where it is assisting with my falling asleep. And, unfortunately, drinking a cup of anything prior to bed means I'll be waking up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom.
I’ve been drinking this during my nighttime journaling and stretches. It’s perfect for just before bed!
this is a very mild tea but not a great tasting tea, however, I purchased it as I have difficulty falling a sleep. It really does work, tried it last night and did fall a sleep quicker then usual
My mainstay to help me sleep at night. Delish and provides a great night of sleep without the hangover of drugs!
I m not usually a fan of herbal tea, but this tea was delicious. It was mild fragrant and flavorful. I love the hint of spearmint at the end. Definitely give it a try.
This one wasn't a favorite of mine. It's relaxing enough but the flavor and aroma are much too medicinal to me.
Insomnia, be gone. This stuff really helps me settle down for the night.
40 Winks is a favorite of my Adagio herbal teas. I enjoy its fragrance filling my bedroom, either before I go to bed or during the night when I wake up (if I hadn't had a cup before bedtime). My husband also likes it and credits if for a good night's sleep. I must note that I use less than one level teaspoon per my large 9 oz. mug., and I only steep it for three minutes in boiling water. 40 Winks is also good for a second steeping, although I steep it a little longer for the second time around. I use a packet of Equal for my large mug, while my husband uses locally sourced honey.
Doesn't taste good. Do not recommend. Will not even finish the rest I have.
Really great at helping put me to sleep- and it tastes great too. I ve never been in love with a tea as much as this tea. It s truly the best sleepy time tea I ve tried yet.
I really loved the flavor of this tea and it was very relaxing.
The first time I had this all-natural tea, I couldn't believe how sleepy it made me. I definitely recommend it before bed, but beware -- valerian root can cause some people to have loopy dreams.
I was slightly hesitant to get this one because of the Valerian Root, I know that herb can be incredibly overpowering. I dove in anyways and ordered a sample and read previous reviews. I did not steep this one as long as I normally do with the majority of my teas. Glad I didn't, I steeped for the recommended amount of time and it came out perfect. The valerian was not overpowering the way I thought it would be and the chamomile and peppermint complimented each other wonderfully. I think I found my evening tea!
This tea has an odd almost bitter taste upon first sip, then mellows into a calm minty/chamomile afterwards. I might try steeping less next time, maybe 10 minutes is too much for my taste. It was overall - okay and promoted a relaxed feeling before bed.
Love this. Bought a sampler and am back online to buy a large quantity. The taste is great, it is soothing and supports sleep. Really love it.
A nice way to calm yourself down before going to bed.
I thought I didn't like chamomile or herbal teas, but this proved me wrong!
Definitely noticed an improvement in my sleeping quality and duration since drinking this tea. Be ready to fall asleep when you drink it.
This tea really did help me sleep! So often I have trouble sleeping, but when I drink this tea, I definitely fall asleep faster. And it tastes great, too!
I have been drinking this for a week now and my sleep is already improving. Just placed another order of it!
great tea for calming down in evening. i add a touch of CBD oil and i m out within an hour :)
I drink this every night before going to bed. It's a nice end to the day.
Just lovely. Such a complex combination of several soothing, sleepy teas.
