Jovvily, Valerian Root, Herbal Tea, 1 Lb

This stuff has strong effects and is very perfumey smelling. Almost like potpourri. I already knew valerian didn't agree with my stomach, and this stuff is no better in that regard. I found that a shorter steep makes it more tolerable. According to AI, this perfume smell and digestive upset could be due to how it was harvested. It suggested that I let it air out for awhile and allow time for some of the active substances to convert into other active substances. In other words, maybe it's too fresh? I'm not complaining. It might be top shelf stuff if you like valerian root. It's definitely the strongest I've had. Tastes and smells great imo, but I'll only be taking it on occasions... I'm kinda craving it right now tbh lol. Make sure to sweeten it. Stevia works great. And bear in mind that I'm no Valerian root expert

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 ha So, 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.

Top notch product. I blend it with chamomile, lemon balm and passionflower.

This is the real deal and it works. It smells awful and the manure smell lingers on my hands, coffee grinder, and anything else it touches, but that's how I know it's legit. I started making my own capsules to take before bed, and they worked just as well as the prefilled capsules I used to buy. 5 stars because it's amazing; but, I did decide to stop using it because it's so stinky. If you can get past the smell and are determined to make your own valerian root concoction, this is good stuff.

This tea has been a great addition to my bedtime routine. I truly can feel it relax me, and I have slept better through the night since drinking a cup before bed. The only reason for 4 stars is that I realized a week into drinking it that the expiration date on the package was March 2026. I ordered and received this in July 2026.

I LOVED this product, I did get a bit drowsy after drinking this tea and 3 5mg of melatonin right before bedtime, after 7p est. I also left all to do list on the other side of the door. Don't operate ANY machinery after drinking the tea. I've experimented with different combos of herbs. My favorite are the fresh blackberries from my garden, cinnamon sticks (I used these in hot water until they opened very wide, almost straight, this tells me that I have extracted all of the cinnamon sweetness), dried chamomile flowers, dried berries leaves (black & blue berries), fresh lavender, 1/2 tsp valerian roots (have a strong smells of Chinese herb that my mom used to brewed in the kitchen), fresh mints & fresh lemon grass from my garden. I steeped them a few times though out the day. The valerian is a bit bitter, hence the cinnamon sticks-it has natural sweetness & it made the tea more drinkable. The first 16 oz cup of tea is very strong, the second 16 oz is a bit milder. Drinking 32 oz of liquids prior to bed time, your bladder will interrupt your sleep. I'm able to sleep thru most of the night, until my bladder tells me otherwise, I'm able to fall back asleep after the bathroom trip as long as I don't start thinking about ANYTHING! I've been researching on the side effects of using valerian roots, every site I've read, there's a chance of internal organs issues, if you use this more than 6 weeks straight. Because of these side effects, to be safe I only use this 1 week on and 2 weeks off. I recommended this, however use your judgement. Update 8/7/25 I'm on my second round of using this valerian roots, it made me bloated and excess gas. Good thing it's for night time and I'm not in public

Excellent quality valerian root very pungent i do recommend

Buen producto cumple lo que ofrece.
