40 Winks Customer Reviews

The tea has a soothing and calming flavor, with a hint of minty freshness from the spearmint and a floral and herbaceous notes from the lavender. The aroma is relaxing and soothing, making it a perfect tea to enjoy before bedtime. The valerian root and chamomile in the blend are known for their sedative properties, helping to promote restful sleep, meanwhile spearmint and lavender have soothing properties that can help calm the mind and reduce stress. The tea leaves are of high quality and infuse well, resulting in a rich and satisfying brew. Overall, I highly recommend this tea to anyone looking for a relaxing and sleep-promoting tea to enjoy before bedtime.

This Tea not only taste great but is so soothing, after a long day, I love to enjoy my 40 wink night time tea to relax my body and mind. Stress can prevent us from sleeping our best, I recommend a cup of this great blend! Happy Tea drinking 🍵

A favorite new tea to wind down to after a long day! Not sure if it has made me sleep any better, but I'm always looking for flavorful decaf options that aren't too tart or too mild

I really don't like the taste of valerian. This blend does a lot to make the tea more palatable. I almost don't notice the bitter aroma or taste of valerian root, but it's still very relaxing.

This is a tea that is perfect for just before bedtime. Warm and comfortable!

Beware, this tea smells *awful* when you first open the bag. But once it's steeped, the flavor is pretty mild. I can't tell if it's helped me sleep any better, but it's fairly soothing to drink.

Very relaxing herbal tea without the mint taste over powering all others. Many over the shelf spearmint teas I've experienced is too minty; not this one. Also, as far as I can read from the ingredients, there is no natural flavor at all. 40 Winks have become my go-to herbal tea.

Smell amazing and taste even better. Just had to add a little bit of cream to it. I would definitely buy this again

Great night time tea. Very relaxing. I typically drink a mix of the lavender lemon and chamomile at night but this is a great one to mix in the rotation.

Normally I really shy away from major herbal blends because I’m not usually one for the flavor of them, but this tea blends so smoothly and is such a relaxing tea before bed. I can feel the difference in my mood after this one.. very relaxing and a well balanced flavor. Added a little honey for sweetness!

This tea is magic! Everyone in the family drinks it when we need a little extra help relaxing. A cup or 2 before bed and we all sleep the whole night. Very gentle, easy on your senses, best for deep relaxation.

I didn't like it at first, but after a while it grew on me. Needs a touch of sweetener, but helps on sleepless nights

I prefer this version to the sleep teas you can get at most stores, and also to plain chamomile unless that's truly the only flavor I want to taste. This has both more fruit and flower to it, and tastes mintier to me too. It's very calming.

I have a hard time getting a good nights sleep, this tea genuinely seems to help when I can tell it's going to be a restless night. I was honestly surprised by how sleepy it made me.

It’s a decent herbal blend. I wish there were more berries but with a touch of sugar it balances the bitter herbs

Not a big chamomile fan and the other ingredients did not help mask any. Not a choice for me.

A nice soothing cup of chamomile tea with strong mint tones. After a h3cric day, this was nice to sip to unwind and get ready for bed, especially since chamomile teas are a favorite.

With chamomile and valerian, this tea will do the job! However, the flavor profile is not for me… the valerian is very overpowering.

tea doesn't normally make me sleepy, even when it comes to sleepytime blends, but the taste on this is pretty good! very soothing

In the CT packet, I mostly smell chamomile. I brewed at 205 for 5 minutes.

On sipping, I get mostly chamomile and the distinct slightly “herbal-stinky” valerian, followed by a very slight hint of mint and an aftertaste of the lemon balm (both of which I wish were a bit more prominent). Not too much lavender is noted. Overall not a bad blend though I think it could be balanced a little better.

This a good tea, this is a sleepy tea you can taste spearmint, chamomile, Lavender .

Very nice; brewing it I was worried the mint might be overpowering but once it had settled for a moment the mint blended well with the rest of the flavors. Added a sugar and a dash of milk, and am drinking with a peanut butter cookie.

A heavily earthy tea with strong mint currents in it. If you enjoy mint and valerian, you'll love this tea. I didn't notice any effects to helping with sleep, or causing drowsiness, so your mileage may vary.

The first flavor is overwhelmingly chamomile, which then changes to spearmint. It is a soothing, calming tea that helps me unwind in the evening.

I have upped this to five stars as I purchased a large tin of it and it is my nightly cup of tea now. Works like a dream.

40 winks is a soothing herbal blend that helps relax!

The first taste detected was kind of woody, which grows on you. The spearmint is nice. The tea is relaxing.

i really loved this; like a more complex (and powerful) sleepytime.

In the bag: Plenty of chamomile buds, cornflowers, and finely chopped mint. Blue, yellow, and pale green combine into a summery palate. Honeybush is here as well, but it's buried under everything else. There is much more chamomile in my packet than the Adagio photography suggests.

On the nose (pre-steep): An odd yet intriguing combination of flavors. I detect mint, chamomile, and perhaps a touch of lavender. It gives a minty floral impression, as if someone had planted spearmint in a flower garden.

On the nose (post-steep): Scent is similar to pre-steep except that the mint is weaker. This flavor is chamomile-forward. Slightly sweet.

On the tongue: It's hard to taste much beyond the chamomile. I'm beginning to suspect that my packet included more of this flower than it was supposed to.

Opinion: A decent tea, though not to my taste. I'm not a fan of chamomile on its own. As far as the version I received is concerned, fans of this flower would adore it. I suspect the blend was intended to offer more, however.

Preparation: 7 min @ 212 ℉. I didn't add sweetener because the liquor was naturally sweet and I didn't want to turn it into a syrup

This tea is lovely!!! The blend of mint, chamomile, lavender, valerian root and honeybush tea is calming and delicious! My new fitness tracker tells me my sleep pattern is pure crap...so, guess what I'm ordering right now? Tasty tea and better sleep -- sounds like a great combo!
11/12/2021 - well, the tea tastes lovely, but I discovered I'm allergic to chamomile so gave this tea to a friend, who loves it! Great tea. Wish I could still drink it. For those who need just an extra calm to sleep well, this tea is awesome. Just not for me.
12/24/2022 - still a hard nope. I can't have chamomile.

This tastes like a slightly minty camomile. I don't like camomile so it's not my jam.

Decent sleep blend for sipping before bed and when waking in the night. One steep, between 5-15 minutes.

Drinking this tea has helped me relax after some particularly stressful days of work.

Not usually a fan of valerian root, but its scent is not overpowering here! This tea helps me sleep well.

I love this tea! It’s delicious and relaxing! It does smell a bit of valerian before it’s brewed, but once it’s prepared it isn’t really noticeable. I should order this again.

An amazing tea blend. I loved how relaxing it was and provided a great nights sleep

3 min steep · 212°F

Valerian root tastes unpleasant imho, but in this herbal mix it is well “hidden”;
Stippling and sipping gives me a relaxing night routine.
Thumbs up
Update: I bought a 16 oz bag, but this time something is wrong with the tea: it gave me so much stomach pain!!! I’m in fetal position, pain is bearable but I cannot sleep with it.
My point is don’t buy a big bag!

REALLY strong scent. Haven't had a chance to try it consistently to get a sense of the tranquility powers. Does well for a night of relaxing and setting the tone for decent sleep

This herbal blend is a good nighttime tea because it is soothing. The valerian root was not overpowering.

Not a big fan of camomile but this was nice and light. Great uplifting tea.

I'm not really a fan, unfortunately. It didn't taste too good to me, and I think that maybe for me the proportion that was Valerian was a bit too high?

My niece got me started on Adagio teas, so finally gave it a try. This is the first one I chose to try. I slept like a baby!
