These words on the label — lemongrass, chamomile, valerian — sound familiar. But do you really know what each one does in your cup? This article exists to change that.

The 7 Ingredients — Decoded

🌿
Lemongrass
Relaxation · Light digestion · Soothing
Opens the cup with fresh citrus notes. Mildly antispasmodic, it prepares the body to slow down and eases gentle digestion in the evening.
🌼
Chamomile
Calm · Sleep · Nervous system
The flagship evening herbal ingredient for centuries. Its gentle floral notes act on nervous tension and quietly prepare the body for sleep.
🌱
Valerian
Sleep · Anxiety · Deep relaxation
The most potent ingredient in the blend. Used since antiquity to promote falling asleep. Steep at least 5–7 minutes to get the most from it.
🌺
Hibiscus
Antioxidant · Floral depth · Vitamin C
Brings colour and depth to the infusion. Slightly tart notes that balance the sweetness. Naturally rich in vitamin C.
🍃
Peppermint
Freshness · Light muscle relaxation
Adds bright freshness at the finish. Helps release mild muscle tension. A clean, crisp note that elegantly contrasts chamomile.
🍃
Spearmint
Lightness · Gentle menthol · Digestion
Softer than peppermint, it rounds the aromatic profile and eases the transition toward rest.
🌹
Rosehip
Vitamin C · Immunity · Natural antioxidant
The fruit of the wild rose brings gentle fruity roundness. Rich in vitamin C, it supports the immune system while adding subtle sweetness.

✦ Why This Blend Is Particularly Well-Designed

Lemongrass and mints open and refresh. Chamomile and valerian calm and prepare. Hibiscus and rosehip enrich and protect. This is not by chance — it is a blend designed so that the entire cup works in the same direction.
