Herbal tea blends combine more than one ingredient. Mixing flavours is a creative part of tea culture, but a successful flavour combination is different from a claim about what a blend does.
A blend has a recipe
The ingredients and their proportions help define a blend. Two mixtures with the same ingredients may taste different if the balance changes. A long ingredient list is not automatically more interesting than a short one.
Use products intended for infusion
An ingredient sold for tea comes with its own description and preparation information. A plant in a garden or a decorative dried flower is not automatically interchangeable with a packaged infusion ingredient. Tea experiments still need a clear account of what goes into the cup.
Describe flavour rather than effects
A useful blend description might mention a citrus theme, a floral aroma or a stronger leaf character. Words such as cure, detox or treatment make a different kind of claim. They do not explain the taste of the drink.
Keep the combination understandable
For a small flavour experiment, a clear ingredient list and the preparation requirements matter more than adding as many teas as possible. Where product directions conflict, a made-up universal brewing method is not a reliable answer. Our individual teas can first be explored on their own, using their supplied instructions.
