No. All seven ingredients—chamomile, lavender, lemon balm, lemon verbena, rose, spearmint, and butterfly pea—are naturally caffeine-free. This makes it an ideal "sleepy time" tea that won't interfere with your internal clock.

Generally, no. Because these herbs help your body process its own natural sleep hormones rather than introducing heavy sedatives, most people wake up feeling refreshed. If you do feel groggy, try:

• Steeping the tea for 5 minutes instead of 10.
• Drinking it 30 minutes earlier in the evening.

To get the full benefits, you want to "extract" the essential oils without burning the delicate leaves:

• Water Temp: Just off the boil (around 90°C to 95°C).
• Steep Time: 5–7 minutes.
• Pro Tip: Keep the mug covered with a lid or saucer while steeping. This prevents the relaxing volatile oils (especially from the lavender and lemon balm) from escaping with the steam.

The Initial Sip (Top Notes): A refreshing, crisp burst of Spearmint and Lemon Verbena. It feels cool and clearing, perfect for washing away the "mental clutter" of a long day.

The Body (Middle Notes): The honey-like mellow of Chamomile and Lemon Balm provides a grounding, earthy sweetness.

The Finish (Base Notes): A lingering, sophisticated floral whisper of Lavender and Rose that settles on the tongue without being overpowering.

You will likely feel the sensory benefits within 15 to 30 minutes of your first cup.

To see a real change in how quickly you fall asleep (Sleep Latency), you usually need 3 to 7 days of consistent use.

After 2 to 3 weeks, your brain might begin to associate the specific floral-citrus scent of this blend with "safety" and "sleep." Eventually, just the act of boiling the kettle and smelling the dry herbs can trigger your brain to start producing its own melatonin before you’ve even taken a sip.

No. One of the best features of this specific herbal blend is that it is non-habit-forming.

• No Tolerance Build-up: You won't find yourself needing 10 cups to get the same effect as 1 cup.
• No "Rebound Insomnia": If you stop drinking it after a week of nightly use, you won't experience the "rebound insomnia" often associated with pharmaceutical sleep aids.

Yes. While it’s popular for sleep, ingredients like Lemon Balm and Lemon Verbena are "nervines." In herbalism, these are used to "feed" and soothe the nervous system.

• The Benefit: They can help reduce "anticipatory anxiety" (worrying about the next day).
• The Tip: If you've had a high-stress day, drinking a weaker cup in the late afternoon can help "lower the ceiling" of your stress before you even reach your bedtime routine.

While these herbs are generally considered safe, there are a few things to keep in mind:

• Allergies: If you are allergic to ragweed, daisies, or marigolds, you might be sensitive to chamomile.
• Pregnancy: It is always best to consult a doctor before consuming herbal blends like rose or lavender in medicinal quantities during pregnancy.
• Drowsiness: Because it is designed to relax the nervous system, avoid drinking it before driving or operating heavy machinery.
