Best Caffeine-Free Teas Before Bed

We all know the feeling: it’s late evening, you want something warm and comforting, but a strong tea or coffee is off the cards. That’s where caffeine-free herbal teas shine. They’re soothing, naturally calming, and a wonderful way to wind down before sleep.

At The Organic Tea Project, we craft several herbal blends designed to help you relax, settle, and prepare for rest. Here are our favourites for bedtime.

Chamomile: The Classic Night-Time Soothe

Chamomile has been used for centuries as a natural bedtime tea. Its daisy-like flowers steep into a delicate, apple-sweet infusion that relaxes both body and mind.

• Naturally caffeine-free

• Gentle floral flavour

• Traditionally valued for calming and sleep-supporting qualities

👉 Try our Organic Chamomile Tea for a simple, timeless night-time ritual.

Ayurvedic Blend: Fruity, Floral, Spiced

Our Ayurvedic Tranquil Dreams blend is inspired by the ancient Indian tradition of Ayurveda. Combining chamomile, fennel, cardamom, hibiscus, rosehip, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves, it’s a rich and layered tea that’s fruity, floral, and lightly spiced.

• Caffeine-free and naturally soothing

• Perfect for winding down after a long day

• A great choice if you want more depth of flavour than chamomile alone

Sleep Tea: With Valerian Root

When we want something extra to encourage rest, we turn to our Organic Sleep Tea. This blend combines chamomile, liquorice, peppermint, cinnamon — and valerian root, a herb traditionally linked with calming effects and sleep support.

• Valerian root adds an extra layer of relaxation

• Naturally caffeine-free

• Sweet, soothing flavour

Our Evening Tea Ritual

In our household, evenings often mean making a large pot of tea to share while winding down with a favourite show. It’s become a ritual: filling the pot, letting the herbs steep, and enjoying the warm, fragrant cups together.

Sometimes we even like to mix blends — current favourite: one or two bags of hibiscus added to chamomile. The tart berry notes of hibiscus balance beautifully with chamomile’s soft florals, creating a relaxing yet refreshing night-time drink.

Final Thoughts

The best caffeine-free tea before bed depends on your taste:

• Chamomile if you like something light and floral.

• Ayurvedic if you prefer a layered, spiced blend.

• Sleep Tea if you want the calming boost of valerian root.

Whatever you choose, ending the day with a pot of organic herbal tea is more than a drink — it’s a ritual for slowing down, reconnecting, and preparing for rest.
