You know how you realize that you need something right as you need it? Well, that was what happened to me. I really needed to get to sleep and thought I had a big box of sleep time tea, but my mother removed it or it got lost somehow and alas, it was not there. I ended up drinking some Celestial Seasonings Sleep Time tea, but I only have a few K-cups and figured whatever they had at Prestogeorge would be about 5 times tastier so I ended up buying 4 oz for about 5 bucks the next time I went. Now, that was a risk but I figured that this tea was more for function than flavor.
Outsides: The tea contains Chamomile, Valerian Root, Spearmint, Lavender and Lemon Balm. I brewed it at boiling for about 5 minutes. The tea itself is a nice yellow from all the herbs and actually smells very floral but not in an overpowering way.
Insides: The lavender really sets this apart flavor-wise from any of the other sleep teas I've tried. It really adds a nice delicate floral aroma to the tea and really brings out the subtle sweetness that the chamomile has. It also ties all of the flavors together so it doesn't just seem like this random hodgepodge of herbs, but a nice relaxing garden. Needless to say, I really love this sleep tea and it's by far, the tastiest I've had. Oh, and it definitely calms you down and probably could help me sleep.
Overall: I feel like if you're overly sensitive to chamomile or mint, you MIGHT not like this but the lavender does a good job masking the flavors. It's a buy for me.
My Rating: Buy!
Prestogeorge is a tea and coffee retailer in Pittsburgh where I live. You can order online from them but it's more pricy, so I encourage you to find your own local tea shops.
