Upgrade from Sleepytime?

by kjr52 » Feb 14th, '08, 16:45

My wife likes the Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime tea, but I'd like to get her away from that stuff into a quality loose leaf herbal. Does anyone know of any blends at Adagio, Wendell, etc. that might be close to Sleepytime? It contains chamomile, spearmint, lemongrass, tilia flowers, blackberry leaves, orange blossoms, hawthorne berries and rosebuds. I'd like to avoid buying the whole lot individually and making my own blend, if possible.

Look into Adagio's cha cha or the foxtrot. Cha Cha is a spearmint, lemongrass, and chamomile (I think) and foxtrot is peppermint, chamomile, and rooibos. Personally, I enjoy the foxtrot with a dab of honey as a substitution for a night time tea.

you won't find quite as many ingredients in a loose blend on adagio, but I recommend the cha cha.

Thanks!

Thanks to both of you! On my next buy from Adagio I'll order samples of the foxtrot and the cha cha.
