Bonne Nuit Tea (Caffeine-Free)

The ritual of a good night. Bonne Nuit — French for “good night” — is a naturally caffeine-free lavender herbal tea blended for the hours when the day is done and the mind deserves to rest. Floral, calming, and gently fragrant, it’s the cup you reach for when you want to signal to yourself: it’s time to slow down.

There’s something deeply intentional about an evening tea ritual. Unlike reaching for your phone or scrolling until sleep takes over, making a cup of Bonne Nuit is a small, deliberate act of care for yourself. The warmth of the cup in your hands, the soft cloud of lavender rising with the steam, the quiet that follows the first sip — it all works together to ease the transition from the busyness of the day into a calmer, gentler state of mind.

We chose lavender as the heart of this blend because few plants in the world carry the same universal language of calm. Used for centuries across cultures as a remedy for restlessness and tension, lavender in a cup is both a sensory pleasure and a signal to your nervous system: you’re safe, you’re home, you can let go now. Completely caffeine-free, Bonne Nuit is your permission to truly unwind.

Product Details

The Ingredient: Lavender

Lavender is one of the most studied and celebrated calming botanicals in the world. Its gentle floral aroma — soft, slightly sweet, with a clean herbal edge — has been used for centuries to encourage relaxation, ease restlessness, and support restful sleep. In a cup, lavender is surprisingly delicate: nothing like the intensity of lavender perfume or soap. It’s subtle, warm, and deeply soothing — the kind of flavor that makes you exhale slowly without even realizing it.

We source our lavender with the same care we give to all our teas — clean, quality botanicals with no artificial fragrance, no additives, just the pure, natural calm of the flower itself.

Brewing Guide

Hot Brew — the evening ritual

1. Water temperature: 212°F / 100°C (fully boiling)
2. Steep time: 7–10 minutes — give the lavender the time it needs to fully bloom in the cup
3. Re-steeps: Each tea bag can be steeped 2 times. The second steep is softer and even more delicate.
4. No sugar needed — lavender has a natural, gentle sweetness of its own

Cold Brew — a calming iced drink

1. Place 2 tea bags in 600ml / 20 oz of room temperature filtered water
2. Cover and refrigerate for 8–10 hours
3. Serve over ice for a beautifully floral, lightly sweet cold drink — naturally caffeine-free and refreshing

Pairing Suggestions

Bonne Nuit is designed to be enjoyed slowly, ideally without distraction. It pairs beautifully with:

Light honey drizzled in or alongside — it elevates the lavender’s natural sweetness

Shortbread, vanilla biscuits, or almond cookies

A warm bath, soft lighting, and a good book

The last quiet hour before bed — no food required

A moment of gratitude at the end of a long day

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Bonne Nuit mean?

Bonne Nuit is French for “good night.” We chose the name because it captures exactly what this tea is for — a beautiful, intentional close to your day. It’s a small ritual that signals to your mind and body that it’s time to rest.

Is Bonne Nuit Tea really caffeine-free?

Yes, completely. Lavender is a naturally caffeine-free botanical — there is no tea leaf in this blend at all. You can drink Bonne Nuit right up until bedtime without any concern about sleep disruption, making it a perfect replacement for caffeinated evening drinks.

What does Bonne Nuit Tea taste like?

It’s gently floral, softly sweet, and lightly herbaceous — with the signature calm of lavender without being overwhelming. Think of it as a warm, fragrant hug in a cup. It’s subtle enough to be deeply relaxing, and interesting enough to be genuinely enjoyable. Nothing sharp, nothing bitter, just pure floral comfort.

Can Bonne Nuit help with sleep?

While we don’t make medical claims, lavender has been used across cultures for centuries as a calming botanical. The act of making and drinking a warm, caffeine-free herbal tea before bed is itself a well-established wind-down ritual that many people find supports better sleep. Bonne Nuit is designed to be part of that ritual.

Can I drink Bonne Nuit Tea every night?

Absolutely. It’s completely caffeine-free and made from a gentle, natural botanical — there’s nothing stopping you from making it a nightly ritual. In fact, that’s exactly what it’s designed for. The more consistent your evening tea ritual, the more your mind and body will associate that cup with rest and calm.

How is Bonne Nuit different from Uncle’s Tea and Rose Garden Tea?

All three are caffeine-free, but each has a distinct character and purpose. Uncle’s Tea is a classic Taiwanese chrysanthemum and osmanthus blend — light, traditional, and perfect any time of day. Rose Garden Tea is floral and romantic, centered around rose. Bonne Nuit is specifically crafted for the evening — its lavender heart makes it the most calming and sleep-oriented of the three. Think of Uncle’s Tea as your daytime companion, and Bonne Nuit as your nighttime one.

Is Bonne Nuit Tea safe during pregnancy?

We always recommend consulting your healthcare provider before introducing new herbal teas during pregnancy, as guidance varies by individual. Bonne Nuit is caffeine-free, which is a positive, but your doctor or midwife is the best person to advise on what’s right for you.

The DAE Difference

DAE Tea was built on the idea that slowing down isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity. Bonne Nuit is perhaps the purest expression of that idea in our collection. It’s not trying to energize you or sharpen your focus. It’s simply trying to help you end your day with a little more grace and a little more quiet.

Clean lavender, no additives, plastic-free packaging, and a name that says everything you need to know. We hope it becomes the last good thing you do for yourself each day.
