Best Teas for Sleep from Ceylon
The Best Teas for Sleep: why Chamomile & Peppermint tea help you unwind naturally.
A good night’s sleep often begins long before your head meets the pillow. For many, a warm, naturally caffeine-free herbal infusion has become an evening ritual, one that soothes the senses, calms the mind, and prepares the body for rest. Among the most trusted herbs for sleep and relaxation are chamomile and peppermint, both celebrated for centuries for their gentle, restorative properties.
Why does Chamomile tea help you sleep?
Chamomile has long been used in traditional wellness practices as a natural calming tonic. The chamomile flower contains apigenin, a natural plant compound known to interact with receptors in the brain that help reduce anxiety and ease the mind into relaxation. The result is a soft, natural transition toward sleep, without sedatives or stimulants.
For those who enjoy a quiet, floral cup before bed, Dilmah Pure Chamomile Infusion offers the pure, delicate taste of the chamomile flower itself, free from stems and leaves. Its apple-like aroma and feather-light flavour make it a soothing, dependable choice for your nighttime routine.
Why does Peppermint tea support rest?
Peppermint has been loved for its refreshing character and health benefits since Roman times. Peppermint leaves contain menthol, known to relax the gastrointestinal muscles, ease digestion, and bring comfort after a meal, one of the key factors influencing sleep quality. A calm, settled stomach typically leads to a calmer, more restful night.
The Dilmah t-Series Pure Peppermint Leaves Infusion releases the crisp, cooling notes of pure peppermint leaves, creating a bright, refreshing cup that brings clarity and comfort to your evenings.
