Rooibos Melissa Leaf Tea (Night Rest) – 50g
A naturally calming evening tea to help quiet the mind and ease you into restful sleep.
Some evenings call for nothing more than a warm cup and a moment to slow down. This rooibos melissa leaf tea sleep companion blends the calming reputation of Melissa leaf — also known as lemon balm — with the mineral-rich, antioxidant goodness of South African Rooibos, giving you a soothing, caffeine-free cup to close out the day.
Melissa leaf has long been used to promote sleep and settle the kind of nervous tension that keeps you tossing and turning. It works gently, easing agitation and calming the nerves, while also helping to settle occasional indigestion that can get in the way of a good night’s rest. Its natural anti-histamine properties make it a handy companion for those prone to allergies too.
A Caffeine Free Sleep Tea for Restful Evenings
Because it’s naturally free of caffeine and low in tannins, this blend won’t work against your sleep the way regular tea or coffee can. Rooibos brings its own strengths to the cup — rich minerals and a high concentration of antioxidants that help protect your cells from the free-radical damage behind premature skin ageing.
Previously known as Night Rest herbal tea, this blend hasn’t changed — only the name, now spelling out exactly what’s inside: Rooibos and Melissa leaf. For an even fuller evening wind-down, some customers enjoy this tea alongside OptiRest+ – 30 Capsules for added nutritional sleep support.
Key Ingredients and Benefits
Rooibos (Aspalathus Linearis)
A naturally caffeine-free South African herb that’s low in tannins and rich in minerals. Rooibos delivers a strong dose of antioxidants that help protect your cells from the free-radical damage linked to premature skin ageing and sunspots.
Melissa Leaf (Melissae Folium)
Better known as lemon balm, Melissa leaf has long been used to encourage restful sleep and ease insomnia. As a lemon balm rooibos tea, this blend draws on Melissa leaf’s calming, antiseptic, and mild anti-depressant properties, and its natural anti-histamine effect can also help with everyday allergy symptoms.
What It Helps With
- Anxiety and nervous tension
- Stress and occasional insomnia
- Low mood, thanks to Melissa leaf’s traditional calming and anti-depressant use
- Indigestion and mild digestive discomfort
- Muscle spasms
- Everyday viral complaints
- Allergies, supported by Melissa leaf’s natural anti-histamine properties
- Skin ageing — Rooibos antioxidants help guard against free-radical damage and the appearance of sunspots
- Cognitive performance, with Melissa leaf traditionally valued for supporting mental clarity
Who It’s For
If you’re searching for a natural calming tea for anxiety, everyday stress, or restless nights, this blend was created with exactly that in mind. Melissa leaf and Rooibos work together to quiet nervous tension and help settle you in for a proper night’s rest.
It also suits anyone who wants an evening drink without stimulants — Rooibos & Melissa Leaf Tea is completely caffeine-free and low in tannins, so it won’t interfere with sleep the way ordinary tea or coffee can.
People dealing with mild indigestion or muscle tension after a long day may find the Melissa leaf in this blend soothing, and those prone to seasonal allergies may appreciate its natural anti-histamine action.
Pregnant and breastfeeding women can enjoy this tea, though we always recommend checking with a healthcare practitioner first. It is not recommended for children younger than 6 months.
How To Use
- Bring water to a full boil.
- Place one tea bag in your cup and pour over the boiling water, or add the bag straight into boiling water on the stove.
- Let it steep for 2–5 minutes, or simmer gently on the stove for 2–5 minutes.
- Drink as is — it’s best enjoyed without milk or sugar so the herbal flavours come through.
- To serve cold, brew as above, let it cool, then refrigerate and drink within 48 hours.
Note: Not recommended for children younger than 6 months. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should check with their healthcare practitioner before drinking this tea.
Pairs Well With
- OptiRest+ – 30 Capsules
Sip this calming Melissa leaf and Rooibos tea in the evening alongside OptiRest+ capsules for a fuller bedtime routine, pairing the tea’s traditional nerve-soothing effect with additional nutritional support for healthy sleep patterns. - Rooibos Tea – 200g
Drink plain Rooibos Tea through the day to benefit from its minerals and antioxidant, free-radical-fighting properties, then switch to this Melissa leaf blend at night specifically to ease nervous tension and settle in for sleep. - Rooibos & Senna Tea – 50g (Colon Tea)
Because Melissa leaf in this blend may help ease indigestion, it complements Rooibos & Senna Tea for anyone building a daily routine that covers digestive comfort during the day and calming, evening rest at night. - Green Rooibos Tea – 50g
Keep Green Rooibos for daytime drinking, when its high antioxidant content is most useful, then move to this Melissa leaf blend once evening arrives, creating a simple morning-to-night Rooibos routine that ends in calm.
