Caffeine-Free Nighttime Herbal Tea
The day may be over before your mind gets the memo.
Simmer Down is a caffeine-free nighttime blend with chamomile, lemon balm, skullcap, lemon verbena, tulsi, ashwagandha, spearmint, licorice root, and lavender. It is designed as a repeatable pre-bed ritual: softly floral, lightly minty, gently sweet, and grounded enough to mark the shift from doing to resting.
The cup: soft chamomile and lemon balm up front, gentle earthy herbs in the middle, and a lightly sweet mint-lavender finish.

Product overview
Simmer Down layers familiar bedtime herbs with skullcap, tulsi, and ashwagandha, giving the ritual more depth while lemon verbena and spearmint keep the flavor clean and drinkable.
Taste + finish
Soft chamomile and lemon balm lead, gentle earthy herbs fill the middle, and spearmint, lavender, and licorice leave a lightly sweet finish.
Aroma
Floral and lemon-herbal at first, with a grounded earthy center and a mild mint-lavender dry-down.
Important fit check
This adult-only blend may cause drowsiness. Do not combine it with alcohol or sedating products, and do not drive after use. Licorice root and ashwagandha also create important medication and condition-specific considerations covered in the complete safety section.

How It Works for You
Chamomile and lemon balm lead with familiar gentle flavor, while skullcap, tulsi, and ashwagandha create the blend’s grounded herbal center. Lemon verbena and spearmint brighten the cup, and small amounts of licorice root and lavender soften the finish.
The ingredient guide below explains the individual contribution of every herb to the finished cup—its taste, aroma, mouthfeel, or traditional place in the blend.
What Each Herb Brings
Each herb has two jobs in the formula: it changes what the customer tastes or smells, and it helps define the intended wellness purpose of the finished blend.
How to read the support statements
“Why it is in the blend” describes traditional herbal use, emerging research, or the intended structure-and-function role of the ingredient. It does not mean one tea bag is a standardized clinical dose, and it is not a promise to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease.
Chamomile
What it contributes to the cup: Builds the familiar soft apple-floral foundation.
Why it is in the blend: Traditionally used to support relaxation and digestive comfort. It helps connect a warm-cup ritual with both physical ease and a calmer pace.
Lemon Balm
What it contributes to the cup: Adds a gentle lemon-herbal middle and softens the earthier roots.
Why it is in the blend: Traditionally used to support a calmer nervous system and comfortable digestion, making it useful in blends meant for unwinding, stress-heavy days, or a gentler after-meal experience.
Skullcap
What it contributes to the cup: Contributes traditional wind-down character and dry herbal depth.
Why it is in the blend: Traditionally used to support relaxation and ease everyday nervous tension. Evidence is limited, so the description presents it as a traditional wind-down herb rather than a treatment.
Lemon Verbena
What it contributes to the cup: Brightens the aroma and keeps the blend from tasting heavy.
Why it is in the blend: Traditionally used to support digestive ease and relaxation. It helps bridge physical comfort with a lighter, calmer herbal experience.
Tulsi
What it contributes to the cup: Adds a rounded, aromatic herbal center.
Why it is in the blend: Traditionally used as an adaptogenic herb to support resilience during everyday stress. It gives the blend a mind-and-body wellness role, although individual response and research strength vary.
Ashwagandha Root
What it contributes to the cup: Brings earthy body and a grounded root note.
Why it is in the blend: Traditionally used as an adaptogen to support stress resilience, calm, and recovery from everyday strain. It also has important thyroid, autoimmune, pregnancy, medication, blood-pressure, and blood-sugar considerations.
Spearmint
What it contributes to the cup: Freshens the finish with a mild sweet-mint quality.
Why it is in the blend: Traditionally used to support digestive comfort and provide a fresh, settling finish. It is generally softer and less intense than peppermint.
Licorice Root
What it contributes to the cup: Adds restrained natural sweetness and fuller mouthfeel.
Why it is in the blend: Traditionally used to soothe throat and digestive tissues and support respiratory-comfort blends. It also meaningfully affects blood pressure, potassium, and medication response in some people.
Lavender
What it contributes to the cup: Provides a recognizable bedtime aroma without dominating the cup.
Why it is in the blend: Traditionally used to support relaxation and a calmer wind-down. It reinforces the bedtime or pause ritual through both aroma and herbal tradition.
