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

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.
I like this tea and it helps me sleep but I don't drink it anymore since I learned that I'm allergic to chamomile.
Very relaxing tea...chamomile and mint..super pleasant...I will look for this again. Merry Christmas y'all.
Lovely and relaxing. A well balanced herbal blend.
I love the surprising licorice flavor that blends in the with chamomile.
A perfect evening tea to relax and enjoy your night.
Nice flavor as you keep on drinking, but a unique flavor-taste. after the second cup, I was out like a light. Lol
Decent sleep blend for sipping before bed and when waking in the night. One steep, between 5-15 minutes.
Delicious tea, calming and supportive of sleep without causing grogginess.
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
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.
Wonderful flavor, perfect for getting ready to go to sleep
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!
This is a nice one! The valerian smell is a little strong, but if you can accept that, it's good!
This great blend has become our family's evening tradition. The aroma instantly soothes and relaxes, perfect ritual to wrap up a busy day. Even our teenage kid likes it.
I got to say I don’t love it. Although it does relax you and is a good choice for bedtime. Maybe if I use a smaller amount
Unsure if this put me down or if it was the work week, but enjoyable nonetheless. Especially love the spearmint flavor.
The first time I drank a cup of this, I think that my body didn't know what to do with it. I didn't feel sleepy at all. But the second time I drank this, WOW. Within 15 minutes, I was knocked out. I slept the full night and didn't wake up once.
Very much enjoyed this one as my late night cuppa. Balanced and relaxing. It is aromatherapy in a cup.
This tea is definitely great for a sleepy time tea!! It puts me to sleep within thirty minutes every time!
Great tea, relaxes me and puts me to sleep. I also wake up feeling great!
I enjoyed it, a good tea to help you relax and sleep.
Very relaxing tea. Helps my son sleep at night. He likes to mix it would almond milk
I started with a sample and have just reordered. This is a great tea for before bed. It’s soothing, and the spearmint isn’t strong at all. If you haven’t tried Valerian, I recommend this tea to start.
This was my first time trying valerian, and I'm pleased with how well it helps me sleep. The smell and taste is slightly medicinal, but it knocks me out which is a plus.
Love this tea. It really relaxes and helps you sleep
I was worried when I opened this tea because the smell was quite strong. But once brewed, it tamed. Tastes very much like a chamomile tea. It is smooth and relaxes. I don’t really taste spearmint.. heavy on the chamomile. But, it promotes sleep. I enjoy it.
This tea tastes good and promotes relaxation! When I have a cup in the evening I fall asleep well.
Nice soothing tea to drink before going to bed or taking an afternoon nap. Relaxing and gentle aroma.
Great addition to my nighttime sleep routine. I used this as a replacement to just having chamomile tea before bed.
