Disadvantages: None

Twinings camomile & Spearmint Infusions - a wonderful drink to send you to sleep.

As someone who sometimes has difficulty sleeping I think this stuff is amazing. I discovered it after trying pure camomile tea and finding it tasted so vile I could hardly drink it and any effects it had in terms of making me sleepy were counteracted by my disgust at the taste!

The combination of camomile with spearmint results in something that doesn't have a very strong flavour at all - which is kind of perfect for something you want to send you to sleep. The flavours seem to cancel each other out quite a lot so you're left with something that is subtly minty without the sharp edge that mint tea usually has. It's just a lovely soft and soothing taste. However if it's left to brew for too long the camomile really comes out more and if it's too strong I find it gives me a sore throat!

I wouldn't drink this stuff anytime other than bedtime because I can just feel it sending me to sleep as I drink it. It can be so bad sometimes that I have to drink it in bed because I'm just too sleepy to get up again!

It really does work but don't expect major miracles - I love it though because it can just tip me over the edge and make the difference between a decent night's sleep and lying there for hours getting more and more irritated. If you have major problems with insomnia this isn't likely to do a lot for you but if you just need that little bit of extra help I haven't found anything better.

At around £1.50 for 20 teabags it's an absolute bargain - it tastes good and it sends me off to sleep. Lovely.

Summary: Yummy and sleep inducing.
