Organic valerian root, chamomile flowers, cool spearmint, and hibiscus in a caffeine-free, USDA Organic Ayurvedic blend designed around one idea: the perfect evening cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eStory\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost bedtime teas are afterthoughts — a single chamomile bag with a sleepy name on the box. We built this one differently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur founder spent years studying how Ayurvedic tradition approaches the transition from day to night. In that tradition, evening is not something you fall into. It is something you prepare for — a deliberate winding down, a ritual as important as any morning routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBedNite has a very unique formula. We use a generous amount of spearmint and chamomile alongside valerian root — a root herb with a long history in traditional herbalism, much like ashwagandha. Valerian combines beautifully with the other botanicals in this blend, creating something that feels complete rather than one-note. Hibiscus adds a subtle tartness that balances the cool mint and soft florals, while stevia leaf provides a touch of natural sweetness with no added sugar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a tea with a purpose. Not a tea that happens to be caffeine-free. A tea designed from the ground up for that quiet window of time when the lights are low, the day is behind you, and you have nothing left to do but be still.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'Ll Taste\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🌿 \u003cstrong\u003eFirst sip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cool, bright spearmint that opens the palate and immediately shifts the mood 🌸 \u003cstrong\u003eMid-palate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soft chamomile florals and a gentle earthiness from valerian root — grounding without heaviness 🌙 \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e A tart whisper of hibiscus, fading into a clean, naturally sweet aftertaste from stevia leaf\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e cool mint · soft floral · earthy valerian depth · tart hibiscus · lightly sweet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur customers' favorite add-ins:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHoney — the classic pairing, rounds out the mint beautifully\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA splash of warm milk — turns it into a cozy, creamy nightcap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNothing at all — the stevia leaf already gives it a gentle sweetness on its own\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow To Brew\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStandard cup:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pour freshly boiled water (200-212°F) over one tea bag.

Then soft chamomile florals come through, followed by a grounding earthiness from valerian root. Hibiscus adds a subtle tartness at the finish, and stevia leaf provides a gentle natural sweetness. It is a layered, smooth cup — not one-note like most evening teas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this tea caffeine-free? Can I drink it right before bed?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, BedNite is naturally caffeine-free. It contains no green tea, black tea, or any caffeinated ingredients. It was designed specifically as an evening cup — many of our customers make it the last thing they drink before bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is valerian root, and why is it in this tea?\u003c\/strong\u003e Valerian is a root herb with a long history in traditional herbalism — it is one of the most well-known botanicals associated with nighttime rituals. Like ashwagandha, valerian is a root, and the two share a similar profile in Ayurvedic tradition. In this blend, valerian provides a distinctive earthy depth that anchors the lighter mint and floral notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is BedNite different from the Anti-Stress Ashwagandha tea?\u003c\/strong\u003e Anti-Stress Ashwagandha is a 16-herb daytime and evening blend built around ashwagandha root — it is broader in its purpose and our #1 best seller. BedNite is narrower and more deliberate: five carefully chosen herbs, purpose-built for the bedtime window. Think of Anti-Stress as the all-day companion and BedNite as the closer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the best way to brew this tea for the evening?\u003c\/strong\u003e Pour freshly boiled water over one tea bag and steep for 7-10 minutes — longer steeping brings out more of the valerian earthiness and chamomile sweetness. Gently squeeze the bag before removing. Drink it as warm as possible. Our founder recommends enjoying it 30-60 minutes before bed with no screens — just the cup and the quiet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it contain sugar or artificial sweeteners?\u003c\/strong\u003e No sugar, no artificial sweeteners. BedNite uses organic stevia leaf — a natural plant-based sweetener — for a gentle touch of sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFOUNDER'S NOTE\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"BedNite has a very unique formula.
