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.

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.
