When ready, strain out the herbs and add your preferred sweeteners or enjoy as is.

Is herbal tea actually tea?
Technically, herbal tea is not tea. Commonly referred to as a tisane or herbal extraction, herbal teas cannot be considered tea because they do not contain tea leaves from the camellia sinensis plant that black, green, and white teas are made from.
It's also worth noting that apart from herbs like yerba maté and yaupon holly, herbs contain no caffeine. Therefore, a majority of herbal tea is caffeine free.
What does "re-steep" mean and how can I do it?
Re-steep literally means "to steep again." So, just follow the same steps you used to make your first cup of tea again. All of our blends can be re-steeped— and we recommend that you do so you get the most therapeutic value from your herbs (and the best bang for your buck).
Do you offer free shipping?
We will be offering free shipping on domestic (US) orders over $75 very soon, so stay tuned!
How do I know whether I'm allergic to the herbs in these blends?
Before purchasing anything from us, please check the full ingredient list at the bottom of each product page and ensure you're not knowingly allergic to any of the herbs listed.
If you don't have any known allergies but you're concerned that your body may have an adverse reaction to these blends, we recommend either doing a patch test with the tea before you consume it, or starting with a very mild cup of tea.
To perform a patch test, follow the instructions on the bag to steep the tea and then rub a portion of the steeped tea on your forearm. Wait 24 hours to see if a rash appears. If so, gift your tea to a friend and do not consume it.
To make a mild/diluted cup of tea to test for a reaction, add 1 teaspoon of herbs for every 1/2 cup of water and let steep for 5 minutes. Strain out your herbs and take a sip of the tea. Wait 5-20 minutes before drinking the rest of the cup to ensure the first sip didn't cause an allergic reaction.
When in doubt, check with your doctor first. If you're planning to incorporate these blends into your routines and you've:
- had allergic reactions in the past,
- are taking medication,
- are pregnant and/or breastfeeding,
- have a health condition
always consult your doctor before taking any herbal supplement in any form (including tea). Herbs are natural, but that doesn't mean they are safe for everyone.
** As these are food items, we do not accept returns. In the event that you're allergic to and/or have an adverse reaction to the tea, seek medical treatment immediately. We are not liable for any adverse reactions you may have.
Do these blends contain gluten?
All of our blends are technically gluten free. However, we always warn that Weightless and Sweet Slumber may contain traces of gluten because they're blended with oat straw, which is sometimes processed by facilities that also process crops that contain gluten.
My absolute favorite bedtime tea. Part of my nightly routine to unwind after a long day at the clinic.
I love this sweet slumber tea, I only got a 1 oz bag to try so I’ve been using it rather sparingly because it tastes so good! I felt like I slept better when i drank this but drink like an hour or two before bed otherwise you’ll be like me and have to pee in the middle of the night! I love these teas and she does an amazing job. Highly recommend!
Perfect combo of flavor and effectiveness. This tea helps me fall asleep and stay asleep while also tasting great!
This stuff is magic! The Sweet Slumber tea is the only thing that helps my husband to sleep through the night. I've always been a tea lover, and my husband a skeptic, but this tea has finally converted him.
Rebecca always ships our orders so quickly, and it’s so reasonably priced for the amount of healing it provides.
I cannot recommend Everyday Alchemy enough!
This is the most amazing sleep tea I’ve tried! I suffer from terrible insomnia and this helps me tremendously! I look forward to it every single night! Taste is so good with a little honey and I never want to run out- finally signed up for the monthly subscription to help with that! All of her blends taste delicious and actually do what they claim. Thank you for what you do! ❤️
