If your mind tends to race at bedtime, this tea blend is a gentle way to signal to your body that it is time to slow down. Chamomile and lavender bring a soft, floral sweetness, while valerian root and passionflower add earthy depth. It is the kind of cup that pairs perfectly with a quiet evening routine.
