Valerian Root - 8 oz - Cut & Sifted - Herbal Tea - No Fillers Or Additives

This was my first time buying Valerian Root tea.I have become a big tea drinker and my doctor (MD) suggested that I try Valerian Root tea to help me sleep as it has calming and soothing properties.She did not tell me about the smell ... ha ha ha.When I first opened and smelled it, I thought, "oh, this is horrible."Then, I began researching and found that the worse that this tea smells, the better the quality???Whaaat? ha ha haSo, I brewed some.At first I found it strong, but have now acquired a taste for it.The actual taste is fine.I just don't breath in through my nose before I take a sip.Also, I don't let it steep for very long like I do with other teas.I read that is helpful in diminishing the strong taste. It is helpful.If you are looking for a high quality Valerian Tea ... I feel that this is a good one!I would recommend and would buy again.

I've purchased Valerian tea from another company and it was very poor. Just little sticks and, most all, no smell. This Valerian is the opposite. It's the root and when I opened the bag the smell nearly knocked me over. I personally like the flavor and mix it with some Chamomile. I grind it a bit to open it up more. It does help me to sleep better and I feel refreshed the next day. It's definitely worth the money and I'll be buying more in the future.

I tried valerian root to help me stay asleep at night—paired with chamomile tea. Not only did valerian root keep me asleep, but it also made my dreams extremely vivid, to the point of being nightmarishly real. You get a lot of bang for your buck with this product—as I’m still trying to get rid of the rest of it nearly a year later.The taste is awful, but can be managed by combining it with a more overpowering tea (*cough cough,* chamomile) and copious amounts of cream and sugar. The smell is worse than the taste, and will follow you into your valerian-induced fever dreams.

It smells very good and it arrived fast!

The pieces were MUCH larger than depicted which initially had me worried about the taste. The steeped tea was wonderful, not quite as floral as I’ve had before but satisfying. The smell is more earth pungent than some valerian roots 😂 no complaints there. Gonna try another brand but I’d def get this as a last resort. (The pictured tea includes left over herbs unrelated to the Valerian). The color of the tea is darker than what I’m used to but I guess it’s associated with the bigger root pieces. 7/10 . I feel relaxed after a busy day, that’s what I needed.

I use this to make my own tinctures and I have had excellent results every time. The product is pure valerian root without dirt, twigs, rocks, etc. that you sometimes get with other brands. It works quite well for relaxation when made as a tea or when tinctured. All root; no garbage.

Great tea

I would give 5 stars for the effect of the herb but the smell is atrocious. I came back to check the reviews before I drank it to make sure it was normal. My whole first floor smells like a dirty wet dog that rolled in a vat of cheese.
