A wonderfully different tasteNov 11, 2005
By Kurt A. Johnson Ah, it's a definite American story - in 1969 friends Mo Siegel and Wyck Hay of Colorado began selling the herbal teas that they had previously only made for themselves. From such small beginnings came that famous tea company - Celestial Seasonings.
Among Celestial Seasonings' many products is Sleepytime, an herbal infusion that has such a wonderfully different taste that I have been able to win my wife over to it, and she does not consider herself to be a tea drinker. Many are the evenings when I will brew up some Sleepytime to go along with my famous spiced bread!
Anyway, Sleepytime is largely a mixture of chamomile and spearmint, which produces a healthy drink that has a wonderful aroma and taste. I'm sure that I cannot adequately describe the taste - it doesn't taste like anything you've ever tried before, but its seductive flavors will win you over.
If I could make one suggestion to Celestial Seasonings, it would be to change the name to something else. I've had friends refuse to try it, afraid that the tea will make them feel drowsy. You can buy Sleepytime with Valerian root, which definitely promotes sleepiness, but the regular product is just a pleasant herbal drink. I suppose it's called Sleepytime because its fresh spearmint tastes very good late in the evening, and its natural lack of caffeine means that it won't keep you awake. But, this is a wonderful product that tastes great at any time of the day!
By the way, it also makes a unique, zingy iced tea!

The classic!Mar 17, 2006
By Snowbrocade Sleepytime is a popular tea that has been around a long time due to its high quality. The natural flavors and ingredients have made it a required tea for the cupboard of persons interested in healthy eating for the last 30 years! The predominant flavors are of chamomile and spearmint--but the additional ingredients--including rose buds--create a satisfying, complex blend that is very tasty and soothing. Not only is Sleepytime caffeine-free but it contains herbs that are mildly relaxing and healing for the stomach. Drink this lovely tea before bed either with or without honey.
Sleepytime contains chamomile, spearmint, lemongrass, tilia flowers, blackberry leaves, orange blossoms, hawthorne berries and rosebuds. The healing qualities of some the herbs in Sleepytime are listed below, however please note that there is insufficient quantities of each herb to have anything more than a very mild effect. Blackberry leaves, which are soothing to the stomach, contain tannins which provides a tea-like base for the flowery flavors of chamomile and rosebuds. Spearmint is one of the milder mints and is also useful to soothe tummy ache. Chamomile is a wonderful herb that has a relaxing effect; it also can be used to soothe tummy aches, headache, menstrual cramps and is a mild anti-fungal.
Celestial Seasonings gets extra points for their packaging: they utilize 100% natural recycled paperboard in their boxes and they don't package each tea bag individually. Instead they use a system of a waxed paper bag inside the box that stays shut when you fold it. It keeps the bags fresh and utilizes less packaging than individually wrapping each bag. The art they use on each box is beautiful as are the quotes and information they put on every surface.
Quote from the box:
