Blending Ideas
Herbal teas are a lot less fussy than blending teas with a tea base. While the possibilities are endless, you will likely be blending the tea either for taste or for function (e.g. chamomile and lemon balm for relaxation, ginger and turmeric when sick). If you’re blending for taste, we recommend choosing an identity for the tea by picking a few flavors in one of the categories. First ask yourself: Do I want a spicey, fruity, herby or floral blend? This approach usually works better than picking a random mix flavors you like.
No matter the flavors you pick, if it sounds right to you it will likely taste good in the cup. That said, combinations that sound confusing are best avoided (e.g. mixing chamomile with spices).
Story
The history of herbal tea is so vast and its definition so broad that it feels almost impossible to summarize. When asking, “What is herbal tea’s story?”, more and more questions come to mind like, “What counts as tea?”, “Why do we drink it?”, and “What is this all for?”
Caffeine Level: None
