Yogi Bedtime Herbal Tea
Best for: The cheapest organic bedtime blend per cup
The bestselling bedtime blend — a warm, sweet spiced tea that's more nightly ritual than medicine.
Yogi Bedtime is the tea most people mean when they say 'sleepy tea': a blend of chamomile, passionflower, and a touch of valerian rounded out with cardamom, cinnamon, and licorice for natural sweetness — no sugar needed. Organic, caffeine-free, and, at its last verified price, the cheapest organic blend per cup here. Read the licorice-root FAQ below before making it a nightly habit, particularly if you have high blood pressure.

How our prices work
We show the price at our recommended retailer 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.

Editor's deep dive
Is the Yogi Bedtime Herbal worth it?
The short answer
Yes as an everyday cupboard tea: warm, naturally sweet, and organic. The one thing to read before it becomes a nightly habit is the licorice-root FAQ above.
Who it's for
Chamomile drinkers who want an organic bedtime blend at grocery-store prices. The spiced-sweet taste (cardamom, cinnamon, licorice) needs no sugar, which makes it the easiest of these to keep drinking.
Best for you if…
Tastes good enough to become automatic, at the lowest per-cup price of the organics.
Nighty Night Extra and Buddha Teas lead with valerian; this is a chamomile-forward blend.
Contains licorice root, which raises blood pressure even at low daily doses — clear it with your pharmacist before making it a nightly habit.
At its last verified price, the cheapest per cup of the certified-organic blends here.
Bottom line
The cheapest organic bedtime blend here and the pleasantest to drink night after night. Check the licorice caution first if you have high blood pressure or take anything for it.

Frequently asked questions
Is Yogi Bedtime strong enough to actually help?
See /natural-sleep-remedies for what the trial evidence actually shows.
What's the licorice-root warning?
Licorice root is in the blend for sweetness, and its active compound (glycyrrhizic acid) raises blood pressure by suppressing renin and aldosterone. A 2024 randomized crossover trial found measurable rises in home blood pressure at 100 mg of glycyrrhizic acid per day — a lower daily dose than was previously assumed to be harmless. Yogi does not publish the glycyrrhizic acid content per bag, so the dose in a cup is unknown. If you have high blood pressure, take blood-pressure or heart medication, or plan to drink it every night, check with your pharmacist first.
Does it really have no caffeine?
Correct — it's a herbal (tisane) blend with no tea leaf in it, so no caffeine.
Yogi Bedtime vs Sleepytime?
Very similar market position. Yogi leans spiced-sweet (cinnamon, cardamom); Celestial Sleepytime leans mint-chamomile. Pick on flavor preference — both are gentle ritual teas.
