Sip on this lovely nighttime tisane as you wind down for the day, allowing the ritual of its preparation and soothing aroma to ease your mind and body into a state of relaxation. Our combination of calming and soothing flowers and grasses provides mildly sweet and delicate floral notes with a grassy undertone. Lemon balm and rose hips round out the blend to provide a touch of sweet citrus.

Q&A with Bree, founder and tea artist

Q: How strong is the chamomile flavour?
A:
I find the chamomile to be a subtle pleasant background note in this tea. If you LOVE chamomile, you might find it a little light but I would promise that the beauty of the blend compensates for it. If you have a strong dislike for chamomile, or have a daisy family allergy you may want to consider TranquiliTEA as an alternative for your nighttime ritual.

Q: Will it put me to sleep?
A:
I hear you, modern life is full of things that keep our minds racing. The best feeling at the end of the day is a quick drifting off once our head hits the pillow. My grandmother calls it her 'sleep button' and you might be looking for some assistance if yours goes a little wonky. I believe, and science backs me up, that the ritual is a huge part of getting a good night's sleep and this tea makes such a beautiful ritual. Starting with the filling of the kettle, the scooping of the tea already with a lovely sweet grassy aroma of the dried leaves right through to the quiet sipping (you've put your screens away right?), that whole ritual signals the body: time for sleeping! It helps of course that the herbs in this blend are all selected for their history of calming properties and deliciousness. If you're interested in learning more, I recommend checking out the Naturopathic Herbalist - she has excellent resources explaining all the traditional uses of the herbs in Nightcap.

Q: I have celiac, is oatstraw gluten free?
A:
Although gluten is not present in the oat plant Avena sativa, there is possibility of cross-contamination during growing or processing. If you're are highly gluten intolerant or celiac and this poses a concern for you, know that you can always reach out for a custom blend that is oatstraw free!
