I drink this at night and it works great. It's a very calming, mild taste. It does smell strongly, but that does not carry over into the taste. I drink this when I want something a little fancier than a Sleepytime teabag.
One cup before bed makes for an ideal way to unwind and lull yourself into a deep slumber.

Potent! When my daughter and husband drink it they sleep late the next day. It doesn't hit me as hard.
This isn't to bad of flavor, it's very soothing. You can see the camamile in it, smells wonderful. It's relaxing but far as sleep or stay asleep. I'll have to try this again
Perfect tea before bed. I swear it makes me have more intense dreams
This really helps me relax and get ready for a nice and deep sleep.
This tea did exactly what I promised. It helped relieve stress and anxiety and allowed for a better night sleep
I enjoy drinking this tea at night and it helps reduce anxiety. I recommend this tea for people that need a sleep aid.
This is the 4th 'sleepytime' tea I have tried. IT DIDN'T TASTE LIKE GRASS!!! That's my usual comment about herbal teas, but this one actually had a good flavor AND helped me sleep.
This 40 Winks tea is a delightful blend that soothes the senses and lulls you into a state of relaxation, making it the perfect bedtime companion. Its gentle aroma and calming properties ensured a tranquil night's sleep, leaving me refreshed and rejuvenated come morning.
I really enjoy the soothing aroma and flavor of this tea. I do need to get a new infuser as the ones I already own allowed some small tea pieces to escape. I didn't take any stars off because that is not the teas fault! It was delicious!! I have been drinking this tea for a few weeks now and I want to update that about half way through a cup and I can BARELY hold my eyes open long enough to GET into my bed!! highly HIGHLY recommend this tea to anyone with issues falling asleep!
This is an awesome blend. I sleep like a baby after drinking this one.
Helpful with getting to sleep. Nice flavor and calming
Love this tea it helped me relax before bed and get some good sleep
This really does work to make me feel sleepy! What a nice, calming blend! It is perfect to help send you off to sweet dreams!
This is an interesting blend of all the teas I have ever tried to improve my sleep. And I have to say, it totally works for me. Yes you can detect the distinct aroma of the valerian but the spearmint and chamomile help a lot so it was very enjoyable. I had just the sample size but am definitely going back for more.
Pretty good and seems to work. Great with honey. I like to overstep my teas but for this one I add some peppermint before I do so.
I will be ordering more of this! A cup before bed really is relaxing and makes falling asleep easier?
Not really my favorite. The smell puts me off. It almost has a pot smell to it. The taste is not to bad but the smell is a definite no for me.
This tea tastes great, it has a really relaxing flavor. There's not too much lavender flavor in the tea, which I appreciate.
It is ok. The dark broth was surprising. The flavor is different. I'm careful with valerian because it consistantly gave me palpitation in the past.
I quite like the flavor on this -- herby and slightly medicinal, but in a way I'm really enjoying. (I quite like herb-y teas.) Remains to be seen how much it'll help with sleep tonight, but I'm optimistic!
I love this so much! Never had valerian root before but with the spearmint and lemon balm I very much enjoyed this! Hopefully I sleep well tonight :)
Not sure how I felt about this one. Had an aroma that I didn't really like. Tasted better than I'd expected though.
Not my favorite tasting tea, but wasn't bad. Really did relax me and help me get ready for bed.
Too many conflicting components in this tea for me. There’s something I don’t enjoy but I can’t pinpoint it. I’m actually wondering if I might need a sweetener to soften a flavor because I love the idea of a tea for sleeping but need it to feel less like medicine.
The Valerian root is prominent in the aroma, a definite medicine smell, and the mint does a good job of making it tolerable. I'm a fan of most of the ingredients. Didn't see any cherry. I can't say I specifically taste the valerian root, I get mint and chamomile for sure. I'm going to mix this with Slumbering Sloth and add some extra valerian root for sleep.
It tastes okay and looks very pretty, but it smells very strange. It reminds me of thyme.
I really needed this tea today to relax. The flavors married wonderfully and I found the tea soothing. I picked up the lavender and camomile. i added a little honey.
I was surprised that I liked it. The smell was so grassy.
Very very strong floral aroma and taste. It left a soapy aftertaste. Not for me.
Sometimes a tea can make you feel the tension and stress loosen and melt away in your muscles. This is one of those. For valerian root to be the first ingredient, I was prepared to be turned off by the tea and its smell, but the spearmint and other flavors really cover that up for me and yielded a very nice and calming cup of tea. Maybe I shouldn't have drunk it mid-day; I may find myself napping in the corner at work.
This stuff really works. On nights when I still feel wired an hour or so before bed, I brew a cup of this and drift gently to sleep at bedtime. The taste is relaxing and soothing as an herbal blend.
This tea is fine if you like spearmint and chamomile, but I don’t. This is not a reflection on the tea in general but of my personal preferences in tastes. Many people I know really enjoy it but it’s just not for me.
Interesting herbal flavor. This is a ‘working’ blend so I’m not basing this review entirely upon flavor. Good for catching some Zzzs.
This tea has all the things to help me relax, mellow out and sleep plus great surprising flavors.
I have never been disappointed by the different flavors.
So many great herbal options and this is another fave of mine. On the site today to purchase more. Love it.
Nice little bedtime tea. I usually don't like minty teas but I found this one quite enjoyable with a spoon of honey
Really enjoy this tea. Perfect for a cup before bed!
I Drink it every night. It has a Great taste. and floral aroma
This tea really works to help you fall and stay asleep. I don’t love the taste but think of it as medicine and drink it for that purpose.
Not to bad. Not one of my new go to though. But decent.
Great for helping me to fall asleep. It takes me to dreamland every time. I highly recommend this for anyone who has trouble sleeping.
Can't say whether it helped me fall asleep but the flavor was good.
Great bedtime tea, I prefer it over CS’s sleepy time tea as an evening board game or reading tea. I would personally like a bit less chamomile in the mix. We brew covered for 5-10m to trap essential oils from the herbs during steeping
Helps me sleep and tastes good as well! I drink this when I am having a hard time going ro bed.
It's pretty good but not enough to make me keep reordering it. After I finish the one pound bag I currently have I'll be moving on to something else. The lavender in it is so overpowering that the other herbs in there get lost so it's one-dimensional and boring.
We always have a supply of 40 winks in our pantry! Great to help calm down before bed, we have a cup or two almost every night!
I genuinely never believed in sleepy time teas but… this one works, and it’s delicious.
This is the go-to tea im getting for falling asleep fast lol truly the best sleepy tea
