Some nights your brain just won't cooperate. You're tired but wired, lying there replaying the day, unable to land. This tea is for those nights. A blend of the most trusted sleep and relaxation herbs in the Western herbal tradition, steeped together into a cup that actually tastes good and helps you wind down without reaching for a pill.
Blended in small batches at Mayim Farm in Opp, Alabama. Caffeine-free. Best taken 30–60 minutes before bed.
What's In It
-
Chamomile — the classic evening herb; mildly sedative, anti-anxiety, and deeply calming for the nervous system
-
Passionflower — one of the best-researched herbs for anxiety-related insomnia; calms racing thoughts without morning grogginess
-
Valerian Root — a strong sleep herb with centuries of traditional use; helps reduce time to fall asleep and supports deeper sleep cycles
-
Lemon Balm — calming and uplifting; reduces nervous tension and pairs beautifully with chamomile for flavor and effect
-
Lavender — aromatic and antispasmodic; the smell alone is calming, and it enhances the sedative effect of the other herbs
-
Skullcap — a deep nervine tonic; particularly helpful for tension and stress-related insomnia
How to Use
Steep 1 tablespoon in 8 oz of hot water for 8–10 minutes. Cover while steeping to keep the volatile oils in the cup. Drink 30–60 minutes before bed. The ritual of making and drinking a hot cup of tea is itself part of the winding-down process — lean into it. Consistent nightly use gives the best results over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this make me groggy in the morning?
At normal tea quantities, most people don't experience morning grogginess. Passionflower specifically is researched for its lack of next-day sedation compared to pharmaceutical sleep aids. If you're sensitive, start with a shorter steep time for a milder cup.
How does this compare to melatonin?
Melatonin works on your circadian rhythm — helpful for jet lag or shift work. These herbs work on your nervous system — reducing anxiety, tension, and the mental chatter that keeps you awake. They work differently, and many people find nervine herbs more useful for stress-related insomnia specifically.
Can I use this with valerian tincture?
Yes. The tea already contains valerian, but some people add a dropperful of our Valerian Extract to the cup for stronger sleep support. That's a reasonable approach for more stubborn insomnia.
Is this safe to use every night?
Yes — all herbs in this blend are safe for regular nightly use. Unlike pharmaceutical sleep aids, these herbs don't create dependency or reduce in effectiveness with consistent use.
