Blend
Contains valerian and hops
The organic purist's nightcap — chamomile, valerian and hops in Numi's full-leaf organic bags, with fair-trade sourcing credentials.
Numi brings the deepest certification stack in the category — USDA Organic, Fair Trade ingredients, B-Corp, plastic-free compostable bags — to a blend of chamomile, valerian and hops. Hops adds a beer-adjacent earthiness that's polarizing. If certifications are what you're shopping on, this is the box with the most of them.

Frequently asked questions
What do hops add?
The distinctive earthy-bitter note — yes, the same plant as beer's hops. It is the reason this blend tastes unlike the chamomile-forward teas here, and the main thing that divides drinkers on it.
Numi vs Nighty Night?
Numi wins on certifications and taste complexity; Traditional Medicinals wins on pharmacopoeial testing rigour and price.
Same valerian cautions?
Yes — skip in pregnancy and alongside sedatives, and ask your pharmacist if you take anything regularly.
Plastic-free bags matter?
Numi's bags are compostable manila — no nylon mesh microplastics in your nightly cup.
