Sleepy Tea Blend

This is a fresh tea blend that makes a thoughtful gift to tell your friends you care about them. We know that sleep is a pillar of good health that many people struggle with and sipping tea at the end of the night is a great way to wind down from the day and decompress. A fresh loose tea blend is an inviting alternative to the stale tea bags in our cabinets. Sleepy tea is a crowd favorite for its flavor and targeted natural benefits. This recipe is a loose tea blend with chamomile, passion flower, and valerian to down regulate the nervous system and calm the nerves in preparation for a good night’s rest.

You can buy bulk herbs at a local herb shop or online retailers like Mt Rose Herbs. Buying herbs in bulk makes them more affordable, and gives you the ingredients to create a unique blend based on your personal taste.  

Keep yourself and those around you cozy, calm, and relaxed this winter season.
