Hops Flowers - Dried Humulus lupulus Loose Tea from 100% Nature (2 oz)

I have not had any alcoholic beverages for over 25 years. I have had beers before then, and liked and disliked the effect of alcohol. Pros-make me feel good for a while, Cons-make me feel bad the next morning. This hop tea taste like a stale beer after all the fizz is gone, but drinkable. Beer lovers told me that beer make them happy campers. Hop by itself may have that effect, small but its effect is there. In my opinion, hop works similar to kava kava. And no hangover next morning. I did not go to doctors to confirm this, but hop may lower cortisol-stress hormone. Be happy.

I was struggling with falling asleep.The only thing that most likely would help was benadryl. Or alchogol.Benadryl i think i should not use at all, was kind of forced by doctor. And alchogol is obviously is not a permanent solution and could become a problem.So I desperately was looking for something else, as many options are not ok for me ( like melatonin ) or not strong enough.I read once in one of herbalists groups about hops as a remedy.I finally looked through the options on Amazon. And desided to ho with this one.It appears to work great for me.I steep it and use as tea. It makes me sleepy, and I do fall asleepIf I cool it down, it tastes like beer :). Great, cause I can not drink beer at the moment.I also happy I found it as a dry herbs vs pills, as pills usually have extra additives, that I am happy to avoid.

I steep hops flowers in my nightly tea, along with valerian root, chamomile and mint. The combination makes me sleepy so quickly. I've used hops from a different company and it had a just mild scent to it. This one however, has a beautiful scent and it seems so much fresher. Just a warning though: if you let it steep to long it will taste bitter, so I suggest trial and error to judge the length of time for yourself. If you don't like the taste but want the sleepy effect, try adding peppermint tea leaves or whatever else you like. I've tried many supplements to help me fall asleep and this tea is the only thing that works for me.

Its hops, taste like hops, brews like hops. If you like hops its hops. If you don't like hops its hops.

I like to add lemon and honey to my hops tea.

Used it for herbs

Had an odor I couldn't deal with

I like that it helps me to get some sleep without relying on sleep aids. The downside is that it smells like Stinky socks when steeped.
