Last reviewed by the teas.co.uk team in May 2026.

Good Earth Chamomile & Grapefruit is the unusual sleep blend that adds citrus brightness to traditional chamomile. The grapefruit lifts the cup from the typical "earthy bedtime tea" template into something genuinely refreshing, yet still calming and caffeine free. A modern interpretation of an old fashioned sleep tea.

About Good Earth

Good Earth is a US herbal tea brand founded in 1972, now widely distributed in the UK. The range is mid tier, accessible priced, with a focus on naturally flavoured infusions. Good Earth uses real fruit and herb pieces in most blends, and the brand sits in the same competitive space as Pukka and Yogi for everyday wellness drinkers.

What's in the bag

Chamomile. The dominant ingredient; a traditional calming herb with mild, modest evidence.
Grapefruit peel and flavour. Citrus brightness.
Lemon balm. A traditional calming herb; brightens the herb base.
Possibly: rosehip, lavender, hibiscus. Varies by batch.

What it tastes like

Bright, slightly tart, with chamomile's gentle floral undertone underneath. The grapefruit is the surprise, most chamomile blends are sweet floral; this one is bright citrussy. Pleasantly different from the standard sleep tea template.

Why citrus + chamomile works

Chamomile contributes gentle, traditional calming character. Grapefruit's bright citrus aromatics lift the cup. The combination is less heavy handed than chamomile and lavender; the cup is brighter and more drinkable.

Use cases

Evening drinking. Caffeine free; mildly calming; refreshing rather than heavy.
Pregnancy. Generally safe in moderation. More on pregnancy and tea.
After a heavy meal. The citrus cuts through; chamomile settles.
Mild evening anxiety. Less sleep leaning than valerian containing blends; gentler.

How to brew

1 tea bag per 200ml.
Just boiled water (~95°C). Cover the cup.
Steep 5-7 minutes.
Drink black or with a teaspoon of honey.

Cautions

Grapefruit drug interactions. Grapefruit can interfere with metabolism of certain medications (statins, some blood pressure drugs). The amount in a single cup is small but worth knowing if you drink several daily and take affected medications.
Chamomile allergies. Asteraceae family, possible cross reactions.
Pregnancy. Generally safe in moderation.

Caffeine

0mg.
