Numi Sweet Slumber Tea
Best for: Organic + fair-trade certifications
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.

How our prices work
We show the price at our recommended retailer as at our last check of that offer (2026-10-31) and, when Amazon reports one, its list price for comparison. Amazon prices come from Amazon's own product data service and are refreshed twice a day; each one shows the date and time Amazon gave it, and one older than 24 hours is replaced by “Check price”. Other retailers' prices are checked by hand and show the date of that check. Retail prices move constantly, so the price on the retailer's own page at checkout is the one that applies.

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.
