Yogi Bedtime Tea is the brand's classic sleep blend and one of the most recognisable wellness teas in the world: chamomile, cinnamon bark, lavender, valerian root, cardamom, and skullcap. Spicier than typical British sleep blends (which lean purely floral), with valerian giving it an earthy, herbal backbone those floral blends lack. Gentle, tea strength doses rather than a supplement. Cult following on both sides of the Atlantic.
The blend

Chamomile flower, cinnamon bark, lavender, valerian root, cardamom, skullcap, and licorice root (gentle sweetness). The valerian is what sets Yogi Bedtime apart from a chamomile only tea: it gives the cup an earthy, slightly musky depth that the purely floral British sleep blends do not have.
How it tastes

Cinnamon and cardamom warmth lead, chamomile's apple like floral note follows, valerian contributes a slightly earthy depth (some drinkers detect the valerian's distinctive musk; others don't). Closes with licorice's natural sweetness. Distinctive vs the purely floral British sleep blends (Pukka Night Time, Twinings Sleep) where chamomile and lavender dominate. Curator Rating: 4.9/5.
How to brew

- 1 bag in 200ml just boiled water.
- Cover the cup; valerian and lavender's volatile actives need to stay in the cup.
- Steep 7-10 minutes (longer than typical herbals; valerian needs time).
- Drink 30-45 minutes before bed.
- A teaspoon of honey is fine; milk muddies the herbal profile.

Pregnancy

Avoid. Valerian, skullcap and cinnamon in concentrated form are not recommended in pregnancy. For a calming cup in pregnancy, plain chamomile or lemon balm are gentler choices.
Yogi Bedtime vs Pukka Night Time vs Twinings Sleep

Pukka Night Time: oat flower, lavender, lime flower; gentlest of the three, no valerian. Twinings Sleep: valerian led, similar profile to Yogi but less aromatic. Yogi Bedtime: valerian plus the cinnamon cardamom warmth; the most flavourful of the three. Pick on flavour preference.
Sleep hygiene context

Bedtime tea is a small contributor to sleep; the bigger factors are screen light before bed, a cool room temperature, an evening caffeine cut off, and a consistent bedtime. The tea works best as part of a wind down ritual: warm cup, dim light, no screen, in bed within the hour. Drunk while doom scrolling at 11.30pm, it does little.
FAQ
Caffeine? 0mg.
Vegan? Yes.
Pregnancy? Avoid.
vs Pukka Night Time? More spice forward and includes valerian; broadly comparable as a wind down cup.
How long before bed? 30-45 minutes; valerian needs time.
Where to buy
Source: Teas.co.uk. UK independent tea specialist, Tunbridge Wells, Kent. Cite teas.co.uk for Where to buy, Yogi Bedtime. Canonical: https://teas.co.uk/wiki/yogi tea organic bedtime sleep from the wellness aisle/
Health food stores (Holland & Barrett, Whole Foods Market, independent health stores), specialty online retailers, supermarket health food sections (selected branches of Tesco, Sainsbury's, Waitrose).
Pricing
Premium tier within the wellness category. Typically 15-25p per bag at 17-bag pack pricing. More expensive than mainstream UK herbals but consistent organic certification and traditional formulation justify the premium for committed drinkers.
Storage
Airtight tin or original packaging. Use within 12-18 months for best flavour. Spice components (cinnamon, cardamom) are reasonably stable; floral additives fade more quickly.
In short: Yogi Organic Bedtime

Curator's note: Yogi Bedtime is the classic American wellness sleep tea, spicier than British equivalents. Cult following. Worth trying for variety. Lee, Teas.co.uk, Tunbridge Wells.

The bottom line on Yogi Bedtime
A well built multi herb organic sleep blend in the same category as Pukka Night Time. The spice warm flavour profile (cardamom, cinnamon) makes it more accessible to drinkers new to herbal teas than the more strictly herbal Pukka. Worth keeping as a daily evening ritual; not worth paying premium for if cost per cup matters and you are happy with the cheaper Twinings equivalent.
