Calming Bedtime Tea — Caffeine-Free Ashwagandha & Chamomile Blend

I love a good tea, I'm pretty picky about tea flavors, but this one is a winner!First impression was such a delightful scent when opening the tea bag. It is a very light, refreshing, herbal scent with a hint of citrus. And it's really pretty too! The leaf blend is colorful and fresh looking, it's really quite pretty.The flavor is also refreshing, it's pretty light, not overly powerful, but a just a really pleasant flavor. I'm not quite sure what flavor I taste the most, maybe the chamomile and lavender, it's just an herbal flavor that is subtle, slightly sweet, slightly floral. It also has a bit of an after tingle, almost like a peppermint but it doesn't taste minty, it's actually quite a calming feeling! I also love that it's caffeine free, so it's a evening drink to settle in and relax for the night.I don't have an infuser or tea pot, but this is still really easy to make. I just pour hot water over the leaves in one cup, let it seep for a few minutes, then use a mesh strainer to pour it into another cup to drink. The dry leaves are large enough that they strain out perfectly and leave a nice, clear, smooth cup of tea.I only use 1 small spoonful in each mug, so there are at least 20 servings per pouch. The outer pouch is resealable, so this bag will stay fresh and last me quite a while, making it a good value for the price. I am very happy with this relaxing tea!

What's inside?This is a caffeine-free loose leaf tea made up of 9 different herbs, designed to promote relaxationTasteI found the taste pleasant and not overly strong. My first few tries were a bit too heavy on the chamomile (see picture) so I would strongly recommend shaking or mixing the loose leaf tea in the packet before adding it to your tea pot. It would seem that certain herbs tend to settle to the bottom so this will help distribute the herbs more evenly through the tea.Health benefits?It's hard to say if I have observed any health benefits from drinking this tea. I do think that the process of brewing a pot of loose leaf tea as a way to relax is therapeutic and beneficial in itself but I have not noticed any specific benefits from the tea itself.

Cortisol Calm Tea has a very herbal taste and smell to it. You can see the different ingredients by looking at it. Can't say I love it, but it's OK. The smell gets to me at times. I don't feel that calm drinking it but the warmth is soothing. It is easy to make. Comes in a pouch, so I put into a cannister for ease of use. Smells fresh. No issues.

I am coming from a culture that we drink a lot of tea and especially, a lot of black tea. I am not the biggest fan of tea bags and would much rather have loose-leaf tea. This is an herbal loose-leaf tea that you need to brew so it is not as easy as tea bags but you can always expect a better texture from loose-leaf than tea bags. The first impression was that half of the bag was empty so that is that.The tea gives you a smooth and enjoyable texture after it is brewed but one thing that I noticed is that if you follow the instructions for brewing the tea, you barely get any flavors. So, I ended up adding more leaves in the infuser and that solved that problem very well. You can also let it sit in the water for longer since it is herbal tea and does not get bitter if you do.As for the texture, the tea is simply fantastic if you add enough of it. The flavor is great and not overwhelming either. The ingredients are great and healthy and better than that, it does not have caffeine which makes it a great and calming tea at night.Overall, this is a great herbal tea and has good and healthy ingredients and I would totally recommend it.

This Cortisol Calm Tea is delicious yet very soothing. I love the flavor! It has a light and smooth flavor. A little goes a long way with this loose leaf tea. Just 1 tsp will result in a flavorful cup of tea. I love that this tea is packed with 9 quality ingredients like, ashwagandha, lavender, chamomile, lemon balm, rose, and licorice. So many of these ingredients are used for their calming benefits. I love that this tea is non-GMO, vegan, kosher, has no added fillers, and it is caffeine free. I don’t have to worry about drinking this tea too late in the day. I can drink this anytime I want a cup of tea, or at bedtime to help me relax and wind down before bed. I do wish this would have had a few more servings for the current list price of $16.99. It would’ve been nice to at least get a 30 day supply. But overall I’m very pleased with this tea.

This tea smells amazing. The flavor doesn’t really come out in the tea. It’s semi weak even after seeping did a long time. I doubled it the tea amount and it made the last couple sips hard to tolerate. This is decaf so good for bedtime. It’s very smooth in the appropriate quantities. I can’t speak on the health benefits but I didn’t have an adverse reactions. No upset stomach or anything. It’s an okay amount and probably on track for the 25 servings listed on the bag.

I recently purchased this tea for my wife and daughter. It came well packaged with a resealable bag.My wife and daughter both love it. The lightly floral notes to the tea are refreshing, and it doesn’t need anything added to it. The blend of different herbs is well thought out, and the smell is calming.My wife has added this to her nighttime routine to help unwind from the day. It’s great knowing that it’s caffeine-free but doesn’t make her sluggish or drowsy.It’s a calming evening tea; both the scent and flavor are pleasant.

Let me offer a bit about me for context (without getting into specifics) before diving into the review; I am someone with clinically a diagnosed sleep disorder and a 'busy brain', so I was cautiously optimistic that this tea would provide me any benefit.𝗖𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗹 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗺 𝗧𝗲𝗮 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻𝟭. 𝗣𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴: The tea comes in a resealable outer package (purple bag) with a sealed ‘single use’ plastic bag inside of that, which contains the loose-leaf tea. The tea can then be kept in the resealable bag, taking up negligible counter/pantry space.𝟮. 𝗘𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘂𝘀𝗲: There were clear instructions with accompanying visuals included on the bag, making it a simple process to prepare the tea. As it is a loose-leaf tea, you will require either a loose-leaf tea kettle, or a tea steeping attachment for your cup, so as long as you have the correct equipment, it is a very easy process.𝟯. 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲: The loose leaf (prior to steeping) possesses a very strong fragrance which initially made me apprehensive about the flavour being too overpowering. Much to my relief, this wasn't the case (more on taste below). The main overtone when you open the bag is ‘sweet’.𝟰. 𝗧𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲: Overall, I found the tea to be quite a pleasant drinking experience, and as mentioned briefly above, not at all overpowering in flavour as I had feared. Each flavour also feels equally represented, which for someone such as myself who doesn't enjoy teas that lean too heavily floral, was a pleasant surprise, and made it a very easy tea to drink and enjoy.𝟱. 𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀: This is where things really surprised me - I began a routine of drinking the tea late in the afternoon/early evening to unwind before dinner, and each and every time I have drank this tea I became not only relaxed, but physically tired. I'm talking yawning 'could go and take a nap' tired. As someone who medically struggles with sleep health and quieting my brain, this truly feels simply incredible. I am hoping that this effect will not wane with time and will update my review if necessary once I finish the bag. As such, I would recommend first trying this tea at a time when you do not need to be alert to gauge how it affects you.𝟲. 𝗦𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀: Personally, I have not observed any.𝟳. 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲: Comparing this product to similar teas on the market, this Cortisol Calm Tea offers incredible cost:quality value.𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀: Between the quality of this product (both the tea itself and the packaging), and it more than fulfilling its advertised function as a 'calm tea', this is an easy product to recommend for anyone in the market who cares about what they put into their body, seeking a natural, no-nonsense tea blend, that can aid with rest and relaxation, and even getting to sleep. Once I work my way through this bag, it will be an instant repurchase in our household.

Wonderful, Gentle Lavender flavor with smooth floral notesComes in a resealable pouch to retain freshness. Inside is a pouch containing the tea leaves. This ensures freshness isolated from the external pouch. The tea is loose leaf and allows you to very easily see the diversity of the ingredients. There are absolutely no additives. There's no caffeine, so it's a great evening tea and, as described, a great relaxing tea before bedtime.Brewing the tea requires an infuser to hold the tea leaves. Boil the water separately and pour it into a teapot with a completely immersed infuser. I used one teaspoon of leaves. The amount of water determines the eventual strength. The standard would be 8 oz of boiling water. Let it steep for 5 to 7 minutes for best flavor. We made 2 cups for both my wife and me to test.Most noticeable in both flavor and scent, and the scent is part of the experience, is floral. Chamomile and lavender immediately stand out. There are earthy notes, and ashwagandha is a bit more present. Finally, there's a faint sweetness from the licorice along with a little bit of citrus to the taste. Overall, the flavor is mild.It's an easy, calming evening tea. Both the scent and flavors are relaxing. It's a great combination to relax with at the end of the day.

Nice

This smells great and adding a little bit of local honey has made this my go to hot drink when I'm relaxing. I usually drink flavored black, green, or white teas. I don't like chi or most herbal teas. That said this is definitely my favorite tea and will buy more

This tea tastes very good and is very relaxing.

I just had my 1st cup the other night, was tasty tea w/ no honey or sugar, felt relaxed after/

Great product. I am using it about 2 weeks ago. I like it but I will update soon.

This herbal tea has a really calming and cozy flavor that’s perfect for winding down in the evening. The blend of chamomile, lavender, and lemon balm creates a relaxing aroma without tasting too overpowering. I also like that it’s caffeine free, so it’s easy to drink at night without worrying about sleep. The loose leaf tea feels high quality, and a little goes a long way when brewing. It’s become a nice part of my evening routine when I want something warm and relaxing after a busy day. Overall, a soothing herbal tea blend with a pleasant taste and comforting feel.

Serving amount is for a teeny tiny teacup. Like a tiny formal British Victorian tea party teacup.I typically use a standard coffee cup which holds about 12 oz. So I have to use a tablespoon per serving which means I only get 8 servings per bag.The taste is very light and herbal. The aroma is lovely. Sometimes I’ll add a bit of chamomile or dandelion root while brewing to bump up the flavor. At $2/ serving, I shouldn’t have to add stuff to it. I love the evening ritual of an herbal tea but I’m not sure whether the specific yeast blend is relaxing me or if it’s just the routine itself. Anyway, I sip this, read a chapter out of a paper book (no screens) and I then sleep through the night 8 hours or so. I like the ingredients listed and the loose leaf tea itself is beautiful, like a little teapot full of potpourri.

Slightly soapy taste. Could be the flower.

Smells wonderful, tastes terrible. But it definitely takes the edge off my post-commute stress. The missing stars are for the taste. I'm kinda choking it down and won't buy again.

I'm not one for tea mixtures usually - but this one is pretty nice.- Comes double bagged with the outer bag being a resealable pouch for storage after the inner bag is opened- Nicely floral tea that is very Chamomile and Lavender forward with some nice earthy undertones to it.- At the time of this review the price is $16.99 for 50g of loose tea. This is on the higher end of tea prices for these ingredients. This seems to be true for blends in general- No Caffeine so it's good for people who are Caffeine sensativeOverall I like this tea - it works well with single mug infusers or a whole pot. Note - make sure to mix up the tea after you open it. My tea settled during shipment and it needed mixing to preserve the blend.

A most excellent and fresh product. These guys are making pretty good stuff. Most notable is the quality of the ingredients. It is very obvious that they are authentic ingredients, not a powder, not a natural flavor, not some flavor additive/s. I have 3 of these teas. I have the Lung Detox, the Belly Slim and the Cortisol Calm and they each have the same characteristics of quality. As soon as you open the sack you can see and smell the fresh aroma. The company obviously cares about the freshness of their products as they are packaged in two sacks, an internal pouch and an external pouch which are separate from each other providing for a very good seal for a very fresh product. These are first class products. I enjoy them immensely and they are a pleasant change from the everyday green tea routine. As far as effectiveness is concerned, I can't really tell if they actually do what they say, as in slimming, or lung detox but nevertheless they are relaxing and enjoyable, high quality teas which I am immensely enjoying throughout the day. Slim belly in the morning, Lung detox after lunch sometime and the Cortisol in late evening. Definitely a superb, top notch, well done product/s. I appreciate that.
