I’ve always held high hopes that valerian tea would help with the nighttime shut-down process, but it always tasted like I was sucking on a stick from our old elm tree. Found this iteration today on a special-occasion grocery run to Fresh Market and, as I’m looking at bedtime with a mind going like bumblebees, I’m giving it a go.

Tazo (my cat) loved the scent and would’ve helped himself to it had he not burned his nose. The lavender and oatflower (though I’ve never tried it on its own) appear to be doing a fine job of toning down the tree branch flavor. As to its effectiveness, guess we’ll know in the morning. Rest well, y’all.

rest well! cats are the best judges when it comes to tea in my opinion; once, my cat got really curious about some rooibos chai I was having, but immediately backed off once she actually smelled it, to the point of moving away from the cup… although I liked it, my system absolutely did not agree with me
all of this to say — Tazo was probably telling you that the tea will be good for you!

He made a pretty good call. While I supplemented with some melatonin as well, I did rest decently!
