Let customers speak for us
from 1032 reviewsIf you are searching for the perfect ritual to signal to your body and mind that the day is done, look no further. This tea is nothing short of a miracle in a mug. From the very first sip, it delivers on its promise of being the perfect evening brew to help you unwind before bed.
Let’s talk about the cup itself with top and bottom tasting notes. The blend of whole chamomile flowers with hops and lavender creates a stunningly aromatic, calming experience. But what truly sets this apart is the gentle sweetness and citrus edge. The liquorice and apple pieces provide a natural, guilt-free sweetness that doesn’t overpower, while the hint of orange peel and lemongrass cuts through beautifully, resulting in the most beautifully rounded, soothing cup I have ever had the pleasure of brewing. It’s floral, slightly earthy from the hops, yet bright and comforting. This order is on repeat!
I absolutely adore the fun fact behind the hops!
It is wonderful validation that these bitter acids and volatile oils are genuinely working their magic.
The ingredient list reads like a botanical garden of tranquility. With real Chamomile, Rosehip, Hops, Lavender, and Blue Cornflowers (which make the brew look stunning), alongside supportive notes of Liquorice, Lemongrass, and Orange Peel, you can actually see the quality. This isn't a dusty tea bag; this is whole, real botanicals.
Preparation is foolproof: steep 1 teaspoon per cup for 5+ minutes in 100°C water. Patience is key here; those extra minutes allow the lavender and hops to fully bloom. The fact that this is naturally caffeine free is the cherry on top; I can enjoy this decadent, steaming cup at 10 PM without a single worry about sleep disruption, or honestly, at any time of day when I need a moment of zen.
Do yourself a favor and buy this tea. It has turned my evenings into a luxurious, sleepy sanctuary. Five stars is not enough.
This is my favourite tea. I like to drink it before a meditation for inner child.
Good before meditation. I also like to drink it when having a cough.
Taste nice. Always a great addition when having a sore throat.
Great tea at a good price. Shipped very reasonably and quickly.
Even if it is on clearance, I really liked the Mango White. At first, I had the impression that it was one of those teas that was nice, but I wouldn't like enough to buy again because the flavours were so subtle. But after drinking it a few times, I soon found it addictive, and I was able to distinguish the flavours a lot better. Overall, a subtle but delicious tea !
I love this tea. Nice people always sending something extra with my order. Also, very nice packaging and quick delivery.
Love my tea pot! I know it’s for two but I keep the two cups for me!!
The colour is lovely and bright in my blue kitchen. It came well packaged and undamaged. Really quick delivery too! Thanks!
Excellent tea, excellent service & excellent resealable packaging. Thankyou
Loved the tea, the free sample of Mugwort was a lovely addition.
I would recommend to others and get tea from here again and will.
I really like the small personal touches, like the card with the smiley face and the little handwritten messages.
As a long term Rooibos drinker, I thought I'd try something a little different. It's fabulous. Wish I'd ordered a bigger bag!
This was a purchase to replace an identical teapot which I'd had for many years and its spout got broken.
These are excellent teapots for anyone who appreciates loose leaf tea.
Service from Chaiwallah was excellent.
Beautiful, fresh, large tea (not dusty and dry fragments, like you get in tea bags). Great nettle taste, all the health benefits. Thank you
Absolutely beautiful Tea with such a gentle calming joyful energy, I have used this tea twice now before meditation and found the meditation incredibly tranquil, the flower also gives such a beautiful picture when it releases its petals in the water ♡ I also received mugwort a sample which was such a gorgeous added extra that I am so grateful for! Thank you again!

Inspired by the Slow Food Movement, I propose a "Slow Tea" approach. Unlike the fast-paced world, slow tea encourages mindful brewing. Listen to the kettle's evolving gurgle, savor the act of spooning loose leaves, and appreciate the aroma as it steeps. Whether alone or with company, take a moment to connect with yourself and your beverage. Reflect on your day, and if sharing, connect with your companion.
