Annique Rooibos & Melissa Leaf Tea – 50g

Calm your mind, soothe your nerves and sleep better — naturally.

What It Does

Annique Rooibos & Melissa Leaf Tea — previously known as Night Rest Tea — is a carefully blended herbal tea combining two of nature’s most effective calming ingredients. Together, Rooibos and Melissa Leaf create a powerful yet gentle formula that helps reduce anxiety and agitation, promotes restful sleep, soothes the nervous system and supports overall wellbeing.

Melissa Leaf, better known as lemon balm, has been used for centuries for its calming, antispasmodic and antidepressant properties. It is particularly well known for its ability to promote sleep, prevent insomnia and ease the effects of stress, grief and emotional distress. Combined with Annique’s legendary Rooibos — rich in antioxidants, naturally caffeine-free and low in tannins — this tea offers a deeply restorative experience in every cup.

Whether you struggle with sleeplessness, stress, anxiety, digestive discomfort or simply need to unwind at the end of the day, this tea offers a natural, safe and effective way to calm your body and mind.

Key Ingredients & Benefits

Rooibos (Aspalathus Linearis)
Naturally caffeine-free and low in tannins, Rooibos is rich in minerals and packed with powerful antioxidants that help protect cells against free radical damage — reducing the risk of premature ageing, supporting skin health and helping to reduce undesirable age spots. Its anti-inflammatory and cardioprotective properties also support long-term overall health.

Melissa Leaf (Melissae Folium)
Better known as lemon balm, Melissa Leaf is a well-established natural remedy with a wide range of therapeutic benefits. It promotes restful sleep and helps prevent insomnia, calms anxiety and agitation, soothes the nervous system and provides antidepressant effects. It also helps relieve indigestion, relax muscle spasms, reduce inflammation and destroy bacteria. Its antihistamine properties make it beneficial for allergy sufferers too.
