i REALLY did not like the taste or smell, but over time have gotten used to it and now the scent is synonymous with bedtime. ![]() the closest thing i can describe it to would be a foot. The taste…well, when i first started drinking it i found it absolutely offensive. i do however drink this fairly frequently, and always have a box in my cupboard, if only as a last resort. so yeah, basically insomniac – which is why i had such high hopes for this tea! it does, only on occasion, help calm my nerves if they’re feeling particularly restless. i am not one of those people >:( i have trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, and usually average about 2-5 hours a night. I believe this tea has potential for some people! i believe for some the valerian (the “extra” in sleepy time extra) works and it’s enough to help lull them in to sleep. I don’t know what it is with this tea, it never does anything for me, but i still keep drinking it! I’m glad I have a whole box of this stuff… My limbs feel heavy, and my spot on the couch feels particularly comfortable. I know these blends don’t have an effect on everyone, but I feel very relaxed. Mmm, the spearmint lingers and cools the inside of my mouth.Īs for the effects, which are really what I’m in this for, it definitely works for me. I guess there’s a little herbal weirdness in the tea’s scent, but I don’t taste it that much. It mostly just tastes like a plain spearmint tea to me. I added some sweetener, however, so I think that should be mentioned. Maybe it’s just my imagination? Anyway, I’m not getting any bitterness or “medicinal” flavor. Strange… this tastes like it has chamomile in it, but it doesn’t. I’m assuming the strong mint is there to cover up the not-so-nice taste of valerian. The plain little pillow-shaped bag smells heavily of spearmint with a faint hint of lemongrass. I’ve had Celestial Seasonings’s Sleepytime once or twice before, but I can’t really recall what it was like. (Particularly Teavivre, but not this late at night.) ![]() I’m feeling much better now, though! So now I can catch up on a few things. I’ve been mostly drinking familiar favorites and taking lots of naps. Since a nasty cold robbed me of my sense of smell and taste, I haven’t been able to review anything new lately.
