Extra Tea: Celestial Seasonings’s SleepyTime

Celestial Seasoning’s SleepyTime is another awesome tea that’s great for relaxation. If you’re one to stress out, suffer from anxiety or have panic attacks, sipping this tea is great for calming down, even if it’s just the middle of the day.

Celestial Seasonings describes their Sleepytime tea as:

“Sleepytime’s comforting aroma and perfectly balanced flavor are achieved by blending soothing herbal ingredients from around the world – including floral Egyptian chamomile, cool spearmint from the Pacific Northwest, and lively Guatemalan lemongrass. This global synergy is only fitting, since all over the world, generations of tea lovers have wound down their day with Sleepytime.”

Celestial Seasonings is one of my favorite brands of every day tea because they’re super affordable, so you can drink multiple cups a day without emptying your pockets, and because I’ve been able to drink most of their teas without adding anything to it. This is great because I’ve been trying to keep sugar and calories down, so I can drink as much tea as I want without guilt. :)
