If you’re looking for a way to unwind, herbal tea might become your new best friend. People have been enjoying tea for centuries to ease nerves, soothe anxiety-induced ailments like upset stomachs and headaches and get a good night’s sleep. Here are our top picks for comforting teas without the jitters.

Choose a different soothing beverage for almost every day of the week.

Caffeine can make anxiety levels skyrocket, so make sure you’re sipping on a decaf option when you’re looking to relax. This pack comes with six different flavors of decaf tea, including a lemon-ginger option boosted with probiotics to promote healthy digestion, and a minty chamomile to encourage sweet dreams.

Enjoy meyer lemon, orange peel, blackberry and more!

If you love sweet, fruity teas, try brewing an herbal blend. This multipack comes in juicy flavors like acai berry, mango passionfruit and sweet strawberry pomegranate. Another bonus? Herbal teas aren’t actually made with tea leaves—they really are just herbs—so they don’t contain even the slightest trace of caffeine.

Natural mint solves a variety of ills.

A cup of peppermint tea can help reduce bloating and settle an upset stomach. The refreshing blend can also provide relief from tension headaches and painful migraines. It really is nature’s medicine.

Chamomile is deeply relaxing.

Some teas are upfront about the benefits they’ll provide, like Sleepytime. This one combines soothing chamomile, spearmint and lemongrass to help you drift off easily, without any artificial flavors or preservatives.
