UKKO Sweet Dreams tea blend – 80 g

When your body is tired but your mind is still working

There are evenings when, even though you go to bed on time, your thoughts won't stop. You replay the day, plan tomorrow, and the hours slip by.

Sweet Dreams Tea won't solve everything, but it can help you close the day. The four calming herbs – passionflower, lemon balm, hops and lavender – have been used together for centuries in European herbal tradition, complementing each other in times of winding down. Alongside them, caffeine-free rooibos provides a mellow base, and orange peel a warm, sweetish finish.

Why do people choose UKKO Sweet Dreams Tea Blend?

• 100% natural, carefully selected herbs
• caffeine-free rooibos base – can be enjoyed in the evening without worry
• four traditional calming herbs in a single blend
• a pleasant, mellow flavor – enjoyable even without sweetening
• no artificial additives, flavorings or sugar

When should I drink it?

30–60 minutes before bed. Slow sipping and a warm mug are in themselves part of the signal that the day has ended.

How soon does it work?

Herbal teas need to be consumed regularly to have an effect; many people feel their evenings are calmer after a few days. Results may vary from person to person.

Can it be taken with medication?

If you are on long-term medication – especially sedatives, sleeping pills or anti-anxiety medication – consult your doctor before use.

Can children drink it?

We do not recommend it for those under 18.

Can pregnant women drink it?

Not recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

IMPORTANT – never stop taking your prescribed medication! If you take sleeping pills or sedatives, they can only be discontinued gradually and under medical guidance; stopping suddenly can cause rebound insomnia and withdrawal symptoms. This tea is not a substitute for medication and should not be regarded as one.

IMPORTANT – when should you see a doctor? If your sleep problem lasts more than 4 weeks, if you're exhausted during the day too, if you have breathing pauses with snoring, or if you experience persistent sadness or hopelessness, please see a doctor. Sleep disorders can have treatable underlying causes, such as sleep apnea, thyroid problems or depression, and in these cases the real solution is a medical examination.

UKKO Sweet Dreams Tea Blend is a food product; its use does not replace necessary medical treatment! Not recommended in case of hypersensitivity to any ingredient of the blend. Results may vary from person to person. The effects of the tea are based on scientific literature on the herbal ingredients and folk medicine experience – but it is always important to make the best decision for your health!

Effects and benefits:

The Sweet Dreams Tea Blend has traditionally been enjoyed to support winding down in the evening.

• Traditional evening herbs: European tradition has used passionflower, lemon balm, hops and lavender to relieve mild symptoms of stress and to aid sleep
• The ritual of winding down: a warm drink and a few minutes' pause before bed help close the day
• Caffeine-free: thanks to the rooibos base, it can be enjoyed in the evening without worry
• Antioxidant compounds: rooibos contains compounds with antioxidant effects
• Pleasant, mellow flavor: thanks to the sweetish aroma of orange peel, it's enjoyable even without sweetening

Tips for calmer evenings

• go to bed and get up at roughly the same time, even on weekends
• put your phone down an hour before bed – screen light delays falling asleep
• keep your bedroom cool, dark and quiet
• avoid coffee or caffeinated tea in the late afternoon
• if you don't fall asleep within 20 minutes, get up and do something calm until you feel sleepy

The tea can be a pleasant, natural companion in this: a warm mug and a few minutes' pause can help signal to your body that the day has ended. Building an evening routine matters at least as much as the drink itself.

Suggested use:

Preparing the tea

• Bring water to a boil, then let it cool to about 80 °C.
• Use 1 teaspoon of tea blend per half liter of water.
• Let it steep for 10–15 minutes, then strain.
• Drink 30–60 minutes before bed.

No need to sweeten it – it naturally tastes pleasant.

Recommended consumption

1 mug (400–500 ml) a day in the evening, before bed. Continue the course for no more than 4 weeks; if you need it for longer, talk to your doctor. | Tip: don't steep it for too long, as the flavor may change. | Storage: protected from light, tightly closed, in a cool, dry place.

Sweet Dreams Tea Blend has a sleep-inducing effect, so do not drink it during the day or before working or driving! The tea may increase the effects of alcohol, sedatives and sleeping pills.

NOT RECOMMENDED: during pregnancy and breastfeeding (there is insufficient data for passionflower and hops) | under the age of 18 (the traditional minimum age is 12 for passionflower and lemon balm; there are no data for children for hops) | in hormone-sensitive conditions, because hops contain plant compounds with estrogen-like effects – in this case, ask your doctor. Not recommended in case of hypersensitivity to any ingredient of the blend.
