Tealyra Tranquil Dream Herbal Tea

This blend has genuine sedative effects according to multiple reviewers. Seven people specifically mentioned it helps with sleep and anxiety, with some saying it's more effective than melatonin. The chamomile and lavender combination creates what users call 'strong calming effects.' That said, a couple people noted mild side effects like increased bathroom trips at night, so you might want to finish your cup an hour before bed.

The flavor is definitely herbal and floral, but reviewers say it tastes like actual herbs rather than perfume or dirt. You'll get chamomile as the base, with lavender providing a floral note and honeybush adding a slightly fruity sweetness. The blend is described as 'robust' and 'aromatic' without being overwhelming. Fair warning though—two people found the floral taste too strong for their liking, so if you're sensitive to lavender, this might be intense for you.

Yes, probably some. Two reviewers specifically mentioned that the tea contains very fine particles that get through most infusers. The good news is that the herbs themselves are whole and visible, so it's quality ingredients—just ground to varying sizes. You might want to use a very fine-mesh strainer or accept a bit of sediment at the bottom of your cup.

Absolutely. The packaging includes clear instructions, and the blend is forgiving—it works well with standard brewing without needing precise timing. Since it's caffeine-free and herbal, you can't really 'burn' it like you might with green or white tea. Multiple beginners mentioned appreciating that they could see the actual herbs in the blend, which helps you learn what you're tasting. Plus, at 110g, you get plenty of tea to experiment with.

Yes to both! One reviewer mentioned successfully re-steeping the leaves multiple times. Tea enthusiasts also noted this blend works well for mixing—you can combine it with other herbals to create custom blends, or adjust the strength by using more or less tea. The loose leaf format gives you that flexibility, and because the herbs are visible, you can pick out what you want if you're feeling creative.

The aroma is one of this tea's standout features. Four reviewers specifically called it 'intoxicating,' 'fruity,' and 'slightly floral.' You'll smell it as soon as you open the bag—that honeybush-lavender combination is potent. If you're someone who enjoys aromatherapy along with your tea, this delivers. The scent matches the taste, so if you love how it smells, you'll probably enjoy drinking it.
