I’m hoping one day to find a replacement for my beloved Bedtime Blues from A Quarter to Tea. This one has similar ingredients, but the flavors aren’t quite there. I’m guessing it’s the blueberry I’m missing. It’s still enjoyable, if a little bitter. The ingredient list is interesting too, lots of good stuff in here – chamomile, ashwagandha, mugwort, valerian root, passionflower, wild lettuce, chaga mushroom, peppermint – all the good sleepytime stuff, some adaptogens, and a little mushroom goodness. Having this as a latte, which is my preferred way to drink herbals these days.

Flavors: Bitter

Preparation
Boiling 8 min or more 6 tsp 8 OZ / 236 ML

I read this as “guide me to sheep”… but “guide me to sleep” works as well. LOL.

Well, if someone counts sheep to fall asleep then I suppose that could work too! :D

Bio

Lifetime student. Lover of books and paper and ink. Kitchen dweller. Aspiring herbalist, excessively proud cat lady, and tea fanatic. Thirty-something elder millennial. She/her.

I love flavored black teas most of all, always with cream and honey. I enjoy floral and fruity teas, as well as flavored or scented ones. I’m not overly fond of green or white teas, but I’ve found a few that I enjoy.

I’m open to tea swaps and/or just sharing what’s in my tea cabinet! Please reach out if you see something I have that you’d like to try. I do my best to update my cupboard regularly.

Favorites
Any and all black teas, smoky teas, raspberry, strawberry, red fruits, bergamot, chai spices, floral teas, caramel/toffee, jasmine, rose, vanilla, peaches, plums, valerian root, cinnamon, cardamom

Not a huge fan

Rating Scale

1-20: By far, one of the worst teas I’ve tasted. I most certainly will not finish my cup and will likely “gift” the rest to my sweet husband, James, who almost always enjoys the teas I dislike (and vice versa).

21-49: This tea is not good, but if I mix it with another tea or find another steeping method I might be able to finish it.

50-69: This one is just okay. I might drink it again if someone were to give it to me, but I probably won’t be buying more for myself.

70-79: This is a consistently good tea. It’s reliable but not necessarily special.

80-90: This one is a notch above the rest and I would gladly enjoy a cup of it any day of the week. I’ll likely be keeping this in my cupboard, but it isn’t one of my all-time favorites.

91-95: One small change and this tea would be perfect. I’ll definitely have a stash of this in my kitchen if you come over for tea.

96-100: No words can describe this tea. It’s an experience, an aha moment. Closed eyes, wide smile, encompassing warmth. Absolutely incredible. Perfect.
