1 review for Bedtime Bouquet™ tea 50g

  1. Esther Egmont

    I had trouble sleeping and after a consultation with Tina, she recommended the Bedtime Bouquet. As per instructions, I take a cup half an hour before bed and I can sleep straight away every night. Talk to Tina, she is amazing for her knowledge of herbs.
