What is a sleep herbal infusion?
A sleep herbal infusion, or bedtime herbal tea, is a caffeine-free plant infusion best enjoyed in the evening, as part of a calming ritual before bed. It brings together plants long associated with the night hours, such as chamomile, verbena, lemon balm, linden blossom, orange blossom, lavender, valerian and passionflower, most often grown organically. Each one contributes its own gentle warmth and fragrance, for a truly comforting cup at the end of the day.
Free from caffeine and theine, these evening herbal infusions are best savoured in quiet moments, away from screens, as a small pause for yourself. Served piping hot, with a touch of honey if you like, they ease you gently into the night.
Which sleep herbal infusion should you choose?
It all comes down to taste and habit. Chamomile and linden make soft, floral cups, while verbena and lemon balm bring freshness and a gentle roundness. For something more fragrant, orange blossom and lavender carry the warmth of the South. Those who enjoy a more complete blend can reach for a sleep herbal infusion that brings several of these plants together, or for a relaxing herbal infusion with smooth, soothing notes.
How do you prepare a sleep herbal infusion?
Pour water just off the boil, around 90 to 95°C (195 to 200°F), over your herbs and let them steep for five to ten minutes to fully release their aromas. Herbal infusions don't turn bitter, so a generous steep is perfectly fine. Tradition has it enjoyed in the half hour before bed, during a quiet, peaceful moment. Plain or with a touch of honey, every evening ritual is your own.
As with any herbal infusion, pregnant or breastfeeding women and young children should seek advice from a healthcare professional before consuming.
