My husband loves this tea, sometimes even before bed just to help him relax.
this is a great tea to have before bed. Not only does it help you relax but I sleep better even on my stressful days drinking this tea.
This is, hands down, my favorite sleepy time tea. It's got a dank smell, and a dank flavor, that doesn't taste like grass. The problem with most valerian based teas is that they get a little too earthy -- this is the perfect balance of flavor and sleepy-making herbs.
It smelled awful when first brewed, but tasted fine. The lavender and mint flavors really help. It's definitely a medicinal tea. I brewed and drank a two-cup pot of it in one sitting and I think that actually got me kind of high, but it was very relaxing. Unfortunately, it did not help me sleep, but I have pretty severe insomnia that even actual sleeping meds have failed to fix. It seems like it would be useful for anxiety management, though!
Excellent flavor with honey added. I didn't have any effect of sleepiness, or relaxation. I would highly recommended as a non-caffeine selection.
This tea is magic potion. I swear it will put everyone to sleep that needs it.
My ADHD child drinks this nightly to helps him falll asleep.
VERY fragrent, but very mild and delicious.
Love this and will buy again. Each time i sip this before bed I sleep solid and wake refreshed.
Has a pleasant taste and for me the valerian root wasn't overpowering at all. There was a nice after taste of mint and helped soothe me to sleep. I've been struggling with waking up very early and not being able to fall asleep and this tea helped me to fall right back asleep whenever I had my sudden wake up moments.
I suffer from chronic insomnia, and this brew helps me relax enough to get some sleep. I have a cup every night.
My fave so far. Tastes great with some honey. Some of my best night sleeps.
The flavor is fabulous and it works like a charm to help you sleep. We will be keeping this in the house!
I love this new blend that I haven't tried before. Nice mellow flavor and feels grat going down. I thnk I will order this again
I love this tea about an hour before bed. It is very calming and tastes great!
Tasty stuff! It reminds me a lot of the Sleepy Tea I used to drink a lot in high school, so it's really nostalgic. I add in a little honey just for some sweetness. I know I'll easily drink this a lot when I'm ready to wind down for the night. I love the little flowers in it. I didn't really like the initial smell (I know that was the valerian root) but the taste was great. The spearmint lingers on the tongue afterwards so you feel a little refreshed with it. Here's to hoping it works to knock me out, though. I'd love a good, reliable tea that would make me sleepy. đź’¤
Update 11/28/23: It does, in fact, make me the perfect amount of sleepy to lull me off to sleep. 10/10 tea, imo. Will definitely be ordering a bigger bag later just to make sure I have it on hand, but the sampler comes with a surprising amount already that will last a person a good handful of nights for those who will only need this occasionally and won't be an every-night dosage kind of person.
I love this tea at night time. Perfect to relax and unwind. I do wish I could get more cherries in it. The tea looks beautiful and the tin is nice too.
I enjoy this tea in the evening. Light herbal mint and roobios flavor. Calming just before bedtime.
My kids and I love this tea to unwind in the evening.
This is a very relaxing tea and tastes great too. My eyelids are heavy before I even finish a cup!
As someone who has a hard time calming down and winding down, this tea has been greatly welcome. Added into my evening routine, I find myself actually relaxing and getting ready for bed without the usual stress. I like to add a light splash of lemon to enhance it, but the flavor is great on its own.
Excellent. I didn’t notice a huge impact on my sleep cycle, but it certainly helped me to relax! It is very herbal and floral, so if you’re opposed to such flavors this isn’t for you! For me, this is going to be a regular night time treat when I’m feeling stressed from work.
40 winks is a great bedtime routine tea that is easy to drink all day long!
Really enjoyed this as a spiced, warm cup of relaxing cozy before bed.
This was an interesting flavor combination. I made it to sip on while reading before bed, so I didn't add any sugar or sweetener, but I feel like the flavors are strong enough to not need it.
Terrible. Smelled like a hippy. It almost made me gag. I dont think i have ever had such a vile reaction to tea.
This is my go to nighttime or evening tea. It is a little “funky” with the valerian root, but I like that.
I really wanted to like this. The blend of flavors was different than what I was expecting. The smell is interesting. However, I was very relaxed and spent amazingly well. Well worth overlooking the smell and taste.
I bought this tea hoping it would help me sleep. I wanted more than just plain chamomile. I love the blend. It’s very soothing. I like the refreshing mint. Can’t say it helped me sleep but I wouldn’t give up on this.
Very relaxing blend. I enjoy this to wind down before bed.
Wasn’t for me. Couldn’t adjust to the flavor no matter what I added to it and didn’t feel like a very helpful sleep aid.
Best nighttime tea! Yummy and helps me sleep - get it
I love all the ingredients of this tea but it has a weird floral taste to me. I have to mix with peppermint and then it’s amazing.
Once you get past the strong scent of valerian root, this is a very pleasant tea. It was very relaxing and enjoyed it as a bedtime tea.
SOOOOOOOOO DELICIOUS!!! Love this tea. It is so great. Very nice.
I got this tea for my dad who has severe insomnia. Didn’t work for him but he loved the taste so it wasn’t a total fail lol
I ordered a sample but will order a larger bag next time. It was exactly what I was looking for to help unwind after a long day and put me to sleep.
Excellent tea for getting a restful night and waking up refreshed.
Great tea, makes for a lovely afternoon watching the world go by.
This is a very relaxing and calming tea. Perfect to take right before going to bed. I love it!
This tea is so aromatic and soothing! I didn’t believe it, but I actually sleep better!!
This tea does the trick when I need to wind down at the end of the day ...I just wish it had some lavender in it.
I love this tea. It's the only thing that helps my insomnia.
The flavors in this are obscenely strong and don't necessarily mesh well. As soon as I opened the bag, I could smell each scent individually, but there are so many strong smells and flavors.
I can understand the appeal of the ingredients for calming effects, but it is a bit much.
Absolutely love this stuff! It’s super relaxing and one of the best teas that works for me before bedtime!
I've been trying to acquire more herbal and non-caffeinated teas to enjoy in the evenings, but I don't like fruit flavors, which leaves a lot out. Not my favorite, but still a good before bed wind down cup.
Smells amazing…soothing drinkable tea. I steeped mine for 5 minutes.
This is awesome. Had read one review and was unsure about ordering. But I'm so happy I did. Great flavor
Calming smooth way to get ready for dreamland. Wonderful way to end the day. Love seeing the chamomile flower buds in the mix-you know that it is authentic.
I drink this tea every night as part of my bedtime routine. Helps me relax.
Delicious calming night time tea. Very relaxing cuppa!
Very pleasant part of my bedtime routine. Helps take the edge off when I'm having trouble dozing off.
