檸檬香蜂草

The citrusy scent hits you the second you open the bag, way brighter than the sleepy tea I used to buy. I drink a cup around 8pm and by the time I'm brushing my teeth my shoulders have dropped. Mild enough that it doesn't knock me out, just settles the buzz.

The citrusy scent hits you the second you open the bag, way brighter than the sleepy chamomile I used to drink. Steeped it after dinner on a stressful weeknight and felt that quiet settling within maybe half an hour.

I've been steeping a spoonful about twenty minutes before bed and the difference in how easily I settle down is noticeable. As a nervine it's gentle rather than knock-you-out, which is exactly what I wanted.
