Aldi shoppers say 69p tea is 'better than sleeping pills' and helps their anxiety

Shoppers are praising Aldi's 69p tea, and claim it's 'better than sleeping pills' for getting you to sleep.

Some people even say it helps relieve their anxiety.

One shopper, whose name is Lindsay, tried Aldi's Diplomat Night Time tea to see whether it would help her drift off to sleep, and when she woke in the morning she was thrilled by how well she'd slept.

She posted about the life-saving tea in the Aldi UK shoppers group on Facebook, and said: "Best nights sleep I've had in ages after this sleep tea."

But Lindsey wasn't the only one to speak highly of the tea as many others shared their positive testimonials on her post.

One person said: "I've been taking the sleep one since 2 days ago and honestly it works better than sleeping pills and also works on my anxiety levels so I drink a cup here and then during the day....and the taste is lovely too!!"

Another wrote: "I use the Twinnings one but will definitely be swapping to these saving £1 a box. Thanks for sharing."

A third wrote: "I tried it last night and slept great. Could have been four nights of tossing and turning but I'm saying it was the tea."

But not everyone was convinced by its sleep benefits as one person said although it "tastes lovely" it left her tired the next morning.

They wrote: "So I had this last night thinking it was going to be a miracle cure for my restless nights! Not sure if I was fighting against it trying to prove it wrong or what. But I had the worst night ever!

"Soooo tired this morning. But I will give it the benefit of doubt and stick with it! I will either be a walking zombie by next weekend or I will be full of beans! Time will tell! On a plus note, it tastes lovely!"

The tea is flavoured with chamomile which is often thought to have calming properties, says the Mirror.

The full list of ingredients include: Flowering Tops (30%), Chamomile Flowers (20%), Liquorice Root (20%), Lavender Flowers, Lime Flower, Tulsi Leaf, and Valerian Root.
