From Carytown Teas

Have you ever found yourself lying in bed after a rough day, you unwind and try to relax and find that you are unable to sleep? Wouldn’t you like to have a restful nights sleep without the groggy mornings? We have just the tea to help to help you reach that sweet oblivion of sleep without unpleasant side effects.

Origin: Global

Reputed Health Benefits: Organic Valerian Root -several studies in adults suggest that valerian improves the quality of sleep and reduces the time to fall asleep (sleep latency). Ongoing nightly use may be more effective than single-dose use, with increasing effects over 4 weeks. Better effects have been found in poor sleepers. Organic Bulgarian Lemon Balm has effective sedative action and has been used for years in folk medicine to relaxation. Organic Green Rooibos has a soothing affect on the central nervous system. Organic Egyptian Chamomile contains a flavanoid called Chrysin which is the chemical attributed to its ability to relieve anxiety and promote sleep. Organic Fennel helps with a variety of sleep disorders, Organic Peppermint proves beneficial to reduce sleep deprivation, job stress, headache and fatigue that one feels on a regular basis, Organic St. John’s Wort promotes restful sleep and, unlike conventional medications, rather than interfere with dreaming, actually enhances it.

Tasting Notes: A mild herbaceous blend with underlying notes of peppermint and apple.

Brewing Instructions: 1 Tablespoon per cup, Steep at 180 – 200 degrees for 5 – 10 minutes. May Re-steep.

For Best Results: Brew a pot about an hour and a half before bed and let steep for 15 minutes. Drink 2-3 cups with local honey or agave nectar. We recemmend the 4oz. bag for a 2-3 week supply.

Do Not Use If on an MAO Inhibitor **

Ingredients: Organic Valerian Root, Organic Bulgarian Lemon Balm, Organic Green Rooibos, Organic Egyptian Chamomile, Organic Fennel, Organic Peppermint, Organic St. John’s Wort

Just finished the 2 oz. I bought to try this out. I started having just a cup in the evening, but this week I began brewing a pot before bedtime as they suggested. I’m not sure if it has helped me sleep, though.

I like the flavor of chamomile, which was my bedtime tisane before I tried this. This blend has a certain tang that took some getting used to. I think it might be fennel. Anyway, it’s not bad, but I think I’ll go back to plain old chamomile.

This definitely knocks me out. Although it doesn’t help me fall asleep faster, it helps me stay asleep as I am I light sleeper and wake up multiple times through the night.

The taste is OK. I’m not a huge fan of the fennel flavor that is fairly bold compared to the other ingredients, but other than that, it’s alright. Definitely not a tea I’d drink for pleasure, just to help me sleep.

This tea is just okay. I have other teas that are more effective at inducing relaxation and sleep. I do like that this tea is organic and fairtrade, though. The taste is quite bland. Once I finish this bag I will not be buying another. The herbal blend is on-point but the herbs used are past their storage prime and are weak. Steeped 1 tbsp in a stainless steel teaball with boiling water for 10-15 minutes, drank plain.
