Valerian Root

Valerian root tea offers a soothing, earthy flavor with subtle herbal undertones. Its calming properties are complemented by a mild, slightly woody taste. Known for its natural sedative effects, valerian root helps promote relaxation and restful sleep, making it an ideal evening brew.

Store in the pouch or transfer to an airtight container, kept in cool dark place. If not consumed immediately it should be stored in the refrigerator.

If storing in the refrigerator/ freezer, pack in small completely airtight packets or jars. Before use, wait for it to reach room temperature to prevent any condensation. Each packet should be used within a week after opening.

To brew Valerian root, add 2 - 3 pieces of dried whole root per cup (150ml) of water. For a smoother, gentler flavor, pour boiling water over the root. If you prefer a stronger flavor, you can brew it over the flame.

Always pour boiling water (100°C) over the root, not the other way around. Let it steep for 5-10 minutes for a stronger flavor, or adjust the steeping time based on your preference. For a milder taste, you can rebrew the root by adding more hot water and steeping it longer.

For convenience, if you prefer a powdered form, you can grind the roots and store them in powder form. Use 1 tsp per cup when brewing.

Valerian root has been cherished for centuries for its natural calming effects. Perfect for those seeking to unwind, this herb is known to promote relaxation and improve sleep quality. Its soothing properties can also help with stress and anxiety, making it an ideal choice for a peaceful evening ritual. Let valerian root support your journey to better rest and relaxation.
