The Nocturn Sleep Story

Hey there! It's Sam and Taylor and we created Nocturn Sleep Tea for our own busy lives. 

Sam managed restaurants for 17 years in the New York City, overseeing beverage programs: wine, cocktails and non-alcoholic beverages. His nights were long and late in packed, noisy restaurants. His second life and passion — began very early in the morning with marathon training.

Taylor owns a floral design studio in NYC, running events and installationsas well as daily deliveries through out the New York City area. Her mornings are extremely early--the flower market waits for no one!

We also have two young children, so juggling these is difficult and sleep never comes easily. 

Making a cup of sleep tea each night has become a ritual after the kids have gone to sleep. Active ingredients Valerian and L-Theaine calm the nervous system, signals to the body that its time to rest, fall asleep and recover for the early mornings ahead. 

We wanted to make a better version of the Sleep Teas that existed; those available were commercially produced, looked like sawdust and tasted terrible. We dreamed of a Sleep Tea with a delicious, calming flavor and a more effective formula.

After several years of experimentation and collaboration with herbalists, Nocturn Sleep Tea is finally here to share from our family to you and yours.

Tomorrow Begins Tonight!
