![]() ![]() Could one of you good people out there be persuaded to buy me 2-3 boxes and send them to me? I can paypal the money for the boxes and postage to you or I can send you something of you choice and equal value in return.Īnother sample from Angrboda I needed all the help I could get to relax last night, as I had a lot of things on my mind. This means, however, that I am still without Sleepytime Vanilla and ready to accept that I’m going to need some help from my international Steepsterites if I ever want some at all. The word ‘sorry’ or the word ‘apology’ were never used once in any of the correspondance I had with this woman, so in a fit of pique I returned the lot. She furthermore told me that she has no idea what is on her own website.Īnd apparently I was supposed to read the ingredients list through on something is more or less a known product to me, just to see if it says vanilla anywhere in it when the picture is large and says vanilla on it in big letters. In other words, as I can read between the lines, the woman just told me that she can’t tell the difference between a green box and a cream-coloured box that says vanilla on it in big letters. She didn’t know it was the wrong picture. I received a snippy reply that the name and ingredients on the website was for the normal sleepytime and that she didn’t know it was the wrong picture. So I wrote them an email and explained that I had not received the product I thought I was buying and please could they correct the picture on the website as it was very misleading. At first I thought they had simply sent me the wrong product, but closer examination revealed that they actually had the wrong picture on their website. I thought I had found a webshop where I could buy it here as they had a picture of it on their website, but as it turned out I instead received the normal Sleepytime. Makes a very good cat toy! I’m on my second box now.Īdditional note: I would dearly love to have some of the Sleepytime vanilla variant. And that warrants a higher score in and of itself, don’t you think?Īnother point in its favour: When the box was empty, Luna was ever so cute being affected by the minty smell of it. Not because I think the flavour alone warrants it, but because it does the job I need it to do and thereby provides a pleasant experience all in all. Must be only a small amount.Īll in all a quite inoffensive blend, and that is just what I’m looking for. It has ginger in it, but I can’t really pick it up. I wouldn’t say it’s great tasting, but it’s good enough. Of the things I’ve tried so far, I prefer this one. There are some bags of just plain peppermint, but I mostly keep those around because when ill it’s the only thing I can really drink as peppermint is one of the few things that don’t end up tasting weird.Īnd now this one. So far I’ve had a yogi tea with lime and mint which was okay and one that tasted like it was just about nothing else than hot ginger which was most emphatically not okay. I don’t care for chamomile, so I can’t just follow Husband’s example. So I’m searching for something that is calming and also if not pleasant then at least not undrinkable. I’m not interested in herbal teas in the same way. Bags because with herbal tea, I’m just not that bothered if it’s loose or not. I then decided to try and cultivate the same habit and am therefore shopping around a bit in the world of herbal bags. As I mentioned then, it has become a habit of Husband to have some chamomile before bedtime because he feels it makes him sleep better. But once there, the taste is rather pleasant and friendly.I bought this one at the same time as I bought the honey vanilla chai I posted about earlier. I have to steep this to death and stir the bag 'round-n-'round for several minutes to pull out enough flavor to appreciate. It could use a couple notches more potency. I feel a tad dirty about self-plagiarizing, but since the tea looks, smells, and tastes the same as Sleepytime to me, what I said there is valid here: "The main impediment to a higher score is the mildness of the flavor. ![]() For me this is merely a relaxing tea, not outstanding, but pleasant, and in the last cup a few days ago, I noticed no substantial difference in its effect on me before bedtime or while sleeping. I'm writing this an hour after polishing off a cup, two hours after working an all-night shift, and notice no difference in cognition or sleepiness than usual for this stage of my (admittedly backwards) circadian cycle. The only difference I've detected between this product and regular Sleepytime is the addition of valerian root to the ingredients list, and a caution on the side of the box about not driving or operating machinery after using, as if this is some herbal-tea version of Ambien or Sominex.
