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.

HIGH QUALITY, Very happy. I Chop and smoke blended with organic tobacco (plus a little white sage), so i would know if this was not good quality, or if it had chemicals or pesticides sprayed on it. This cured both my severe insomnia and my anxiety disorder.

The hops arrived quickly and well packages. I am planning to use them for making a hops tincture, and am currently waiting for my first batch to brew, so I won't know the results for a few weeks. They appeared dried, as expected.When I opened the bag, however, I found the smell of them to be overpowering, and for me personally, overpowering in a bad way and stomach turning. I have never been able to stand the funk of cannabis, and this smelled a LOT like it - my understanding is they're from the same family, so I guess I should have expected this might happen. I really hope the end results are worth it - the hops themselves looked fine, but OOOF - that smell! I honestly don't know if this is normal for dried hops, so we will see I guess.

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

These hearts are perfect for my sleep time tea that I make. I mixed these hops, chamomile which I grow, and catnip which I grow. I've just ordered some skullcap to add to it so I'm sure together you will give this insomniac a good night sleep.

I have used these hops flowers in the past to make tinctures, as I run and herbalism business. The first time I purchased, they were awesome. The second time I purchased, there was zero aroma even though I was opening the bag for the very first time. Hops flowers should always keep a vibrant aroma and flavor. I reached out to the seller who tried to convince me that I wasn’t storing them properly (I just opened them!). He/she was uninterested in coming to a solution, so I will be taking my business elsewhere… You should too!
