One hour before bed, no caffeine, maximum calm: the three cups that turn the last hour of the day into an actual wind-down routine.
Quick answer
An hour before bed is chamomile territory — mild, floral and the most trusted wind-down cup there is. Linden is the equally gentle alternative when chamomile feels repetitive, and a sleep blend bundles several calming botanicals for nights that need extra help. All three: zero caffeine.
Chamomile-style florals plus other traditional evening herbs in one bag.
Designed for the end of the day: caffeine-free and softly floral.
The upgrade pick when a single herb isn't cutting it.

Tea fact
Lavender's calming reputation has a chemical signature: more than 70% of its essential oil is made up of just two compounds — linalool and linalyl acetate — and a 2010 study in Phytomedicine on the standardized lavender oil 'Silexan' found it comparable to low-dose lorazepam for generalized anxiety symptoms, while monks of medieval Europe had been growing it in cloister gardens for the same purpose nearly a thousand years earlier.
Enough time to sip slowly, wind down and visit the bathroom before lights out. The exact timing matters less than doing it consistently — that's what turns a cup into a cue.
Does the routine actually work?
No tea puts you to sleep, but consistent pre-bed rituals are one of the most recommended sleep habits there is — and a warm, caffeine-free cup is one of the easiest rituals to keep.
