Goodnight Sleeping Tea

Goodnight Sleeping Tea is a light, bedtime herbal blend.

It combines soft, apple-honey notes of chamomile with lemony brightness from lemongrass and a cool lift of peppermint, followed by classic calming herbs - lemon balm (Melissa) and passionflower - with a hint of garden thyme and rosemary for a soft herbaceous finish.

Blue peaflower makes a sapphire color when brewed, which indicates "evening mode" when it hits the cup. Like single-herb night teas, it balances aroma, flavour and function: florals & mints refresh after dinner, and the traditional relaxing herbs help prepare for a peaceful pre-sleep ritual.

Brew warm 30-60 minutes before bedtime, sip slowly and let steam carry the herb aromas - some find the unhurried brewing part of the benefit.

It has zero calories, can be drunk straight or as a lightly sweetened iced infusion on warm nights when you still need a good, slow drift into sleep.

Health Benefits

Chamomile & sleep quality: Clinical evidence (including a postpartum RCT) suggests chamomile tea can modestly improve sleep quality in the short term; a recent systematic review concludes effects are small but supportive for relaxation and sleep hygiene. National Cheng Kung UniversityScienceDirect

Passionflower for subjective sleep: A double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of Passiflora incarnata herbal tea reported improved subjective sleep quality in healthy adults over one week. Monash ResearchMiloa Academy

Lemon balm (Melissa) & mood/sleep complaints: Randomised trials and reviews indicate Melissa officinalis can reduce anxiety and insomnia severity in certain groups, aligning with its traditional calmative use. BioMed CentralScienceDirect

Digestive ease to aid wind-down: Peppermint’s antispasmodic action is supported for functional gut discomfort (not specific to tea; mostly enteric-coated oil trials), which some find helpful after the evening meal. BioMed Central

Thyme & respiratory comfort (traditional): EMA monographs recognise thyme herb preparations for traditional use in mild cough/bronchial irritation—useful when a soothing, warm cup aids bedtime comfort. European Medicines Agency (EMA)+1

Blue peaflower antioxidants: A crossover human study found a Clitoria ternatea beverage increased antioxidant capacity and favourably affected postprandial glycaemia; not a sleep effect, but supportive of the blend’s gentle wellness profile. BioMed CentralMahidol University
