Tropical Sun Calm, 20 Tea Bags 40g
One useful warning the marketing buries: this "calm" evening infusion is built on a green tea base, so it contains caffeine, which is the last thing you want in a wind-down cup before bed. As a drink it is a mild, soft herbal-green, gentle and inoffensive but nothing you would notice. No tea delivers tranquillity on demand, so ignore the meditation wording. If you genuinely want a calming evening cup, a caffeine-free chamomile makes far more sense than this; judged on its own it is pleasant but mismatched to its own name.
Tropical Sun Calm, in brief.
Tropical Sun Calm is the late-evening multi-herb cup from Tropical Sun, a Caribbean-style blend of camomile, lemongrass, lemon balm and passionflower, picked into the Teas.co.uk curator selection as the proper West Indian-style bedtime alternative to the Twinings Sleep or Pukka Night Time bedtime blends.
The camomile does the soft floral structural work, giving the cup its familiar pale-gold colour and gentle honeyed character, while the lemongrass adds a brighter Caribbean citrus lift on top, the lemon balm sits underneath as a softer citrus middle and the passionflower contributes a faint grassy-floral note that distinguishes this cup from the European bedtime blends. The Tropical Sun recipe leans on the West Indian and West African herbal tradition rather than the European one.
A twenty-bag Tropical Sun household pack at an accessible price for the Caribbean diaspora-import tier, a proper Caribbean import for any household that wants the authentic bedtime herbal at home rather than the standard British supermarket Sleep or Bedtime herbal alternatives.
