An Evening Herbal Tea of Skullcap, Passionflower & Peppermint

Deep Sleep Tea is a loose-leaf herbal tea for winding down at night. Skullcap, passionflower and lemon balm, each long used in Western herbal tradition as evening herbs, are blended with a generous measure of peppermint and a little wild lettuce. Whole, cut herbs are used throughout, and each serving can be steeped twice.

The Herbs

Skullcap: a nervine to calm cyclical thoughts and soothe nervous anxiety.

Passionflower: traditionally used for its natural antispasmodic support, helping to relax a tight and tense body that can cause restless tossing and turning.

Lemon Balm: works to calm emotional tension while soothing the digestive system.

Peppermint: soothes the stomach, ease late-night bloating, and physical tension.

Wild Lettuce: a traditional sedative used to ease stubborn restlessness.

Taste Profile: Cool and fresh, led by peppermint, with soft green notes from skullcap and passionflower and a light citrus finish from lemon balm.

Weight: 40g loose leaf (makes approximately 30 cups)

Format: Loose leaf, for a teapot or infuser

Caffeine: Caffeine-free

Additives: No added flavourings, colourings or preservatives

Skullcap Herb (Scutellaria lateriflora), Passionflower (Passiflora incarnata), Lemon Balm Leaf (Melissa officinalis), Peppermint Leaf (Mentha x piperita), Wild Lettuce (Lactuca virosa).

Our Deep Sleep Tea is designed to be a mindful part of your evening wind-down routine:

The Infusion Method: Add 1 teaspoon of the loose herbs into a teapot or an infuser. Pour freshly boiled water directly over the blend. Cover immediately and let the herbs steep for 10 - 15 minutes. Strain, allow to cool to a comfortable drinking temperature.

Bonus Infusion: Infuse the same serving of herbs a second time with boiling water to enjoy a second cup.

When to Drink: Around 30 to 60 minutes before your intended bedtime.

Safety & Cautions

Do not exceed the recommended daily serving.

Herbal infusions should not be used as a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.

Not suitable for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

If you are taking any prescribed medication (including sleeping pills, conventional sedatives, or anti-anxiety medications), please consult one of our Medical Herbalists or your healthcare practitioner before use.

Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

An Evening Ritual

Keep a Regular Waking Time: Rise at the same time each morning, weekends included where possible. A steady start to the day makes for an easier close to it.

Wind Down Slowly: Switch from bright overhead lights to low, warm lamps an hour or two before bed. Pair a cup of Deep Sleep Tea with a touch of Zen Maitri Deep Sleep Roll-On on the wrists.

Set the Screens Aside: Put devices away for the last hour before bed. Where a screen is unavoidable, switch it to night mode and leave it outside the bedroom.

Prepare the Room: Keep the bedroom dark, quiet and cool, ideally around 16–18°C.

Our Deep Sleep Tea is expertly formulated to support the health and comfort of your nervous system before sleep. It helps quiet an overstimulated mind, supports physical relaxation, eases muscle tightness, and provides a gentle, non-addictive approach to establishing healthy sleep habits.

Passionflower, skullcap and lemon balm are the herbs most used for sleep in Western herbal practice, and all three are in Deep Sleep Tea with wild lettuce and peppermint. It is caffeine-free and ideally drunk in the hour before bed.

The tea is the gentlest, a five-herb blend built on passionflower and skullcap. The capsules are the fullest formula at seven herbs including valerian and ashwagandha. The tincture acts fastest. Many people drink the tea nightly and keep the capsules for difficult stretches.

Yes, absolutely. Deep Sleep Tea is a completely natural, non-habit-forming botanical blend that can be integrated safely into your nightly wellness routine.

Yes, all of our functional teas are loose leaf. We source whole, premium botanical cuts because conventional paper tea bags often contain low-grade leaf dust that has lost its active volatile oils. Loose leaf ensures you receive the whole plant while avoiding plastic sealants, glues, or chemical bleaches.

One 40g bag provides approximately 30 servings. Because you can brew these high-quality herbs twice, you can easily extend the use of each serving.

Yes, this formulation is entirely caffeine-free and will not cause nighttime stimulation or daytime morning drowsiness.

While the active botanical compounds remain stable if the tea is left to cool, our medical herbalists recommend drinking it warm. Warm liquids have a soothing effect on the digestive and nervous system, which helps enhance the relaxation process before bed.

Not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Do not drink it with alcohol, sedatives or sleeping tablets without speaking to your doctor, and do not drive after drinking it until you know how it affects you.

Customer photo review of Deep Sleep Herbal Tea – Bedtime Relaxation & Rest Support, Loose Leaf (40g)

This sleepy tea really does work. I’ve tried lots of them. This is amazing. I make a pot of this tea and I have a cup that sends me to sleep and then if I wake up (quite a lot at 3/4 am) I have a cold cup. I literally down it like I would water and then I go straight off to sleep again. Absolutely recommended it helped me come off zopiclone.

Customer video review of Deep Sleep Tea for Sleep Support | 30 Servings (40g)

My partners work is very stressful and used to affect her sleep until I discovered the Deep Sleep tea. It helped her to sleep from her first cup and now causes me stress when we run out and jane doesn't get any sleep. The deep sleep tea is now essential to my other half and struggles to sleep without it. I would recommend Deep Sleep tea for a good nights stress free sleep.

Customer video review of Deep Sleep Tea for Sleep Support | 30 Servings (40g)

My partner was having trouble sleeping and we had tried various other tea-bags for sleeping, but with minor success. As a stocking filler, I searched on google for the best Sleep teas and Zen Maitri stood out. I got some DIY tea-bags from e-bay and on Christmas night, she had her first Zen Maitri tea before bed. SHE SLEPT STRAIGHT THROUGH THE NIGHT. We were both surprised and wondered if it was a one-trick wonder, however, here we are now, seven weeks later and set to build up some stock. Building up stock because I ordered our second pack too late and she went 3 nights without her tea. She had 3 bad nights and was waiting for the postman for three consecutive mornings. This is brilliant tea and I am about to try a few more of the Zen Maitri products along with our next order. I would, recommend the Deep Sleep Tea. It comes loose in a tin, but I do enjoy making up the tea bags.

Customer photo review of Deep Sleep Tea for Sleep Support | 30 Servings (40g)

Getting into perimenopause has really affected my sleep, its length but also its quality. Since I have been using this tea, I have noticed that I sleep longer (none of these 3am unwanted wake up calls!) and also deeper. I’m really impressed by the positive effects of this tea on my sleep as I have tried so many other teas or supplements through the years without any improvement.

Very fresh high quality leaves. These are just yummy! I’m almost completely converted from conventional Yorkshire tea teabags and pod coffees now.. I love my little ritual of adding various types of tea to a teapot and sitting down to actually relax! I have just ordered another flavour and other wellness products.
