The Republic of Tea get some zzz's
Best for: Gifting, rooibos fans, the smoothest-tasting valerian blend
The gift-tin favorite — rooibos base with valerian and orange in the Republic's signature round tins.
get some zzz's builds on red rooibos, which the brand describes as caffeine-free, and adds valerian root extract, chamomile, passionflower, spearmint, orange peel and stevia leaf. The round tin with 36 unbleached round bags is the brand's calling card and makes this the sleep tea people gift. Flavor is smoother than most valerian blends; the sticker price is premium but the 36-bag count brings per-cup cost down.

Frequently asked questions
Why rooibos as the base?
Rooibos is the brand's base, and it describes red rooibos as caffeine-free. The blend also adds stevia leaf, orange peel, spearmint and chamomile alongside valerian.
Is the tin worth the price?
36 bags soften the sticker price, but at about 42c a cup it still drinks dearer than the supermarket brands. As gifts go, it's the category's best-presented.
Same valerian cautions?
Yes — it contains valerian, so the pregnancy and sedative cautions apply here as they do to every valerian tea. The smooth taste doesn't change the ingredient list.
Hot only?
Rooibos blends ice beautifully — a summer-evening option most valerian teas can't offer.
