🌿 Basic Tea Blend Formula

Creating your own blends might sound complicated—but it’s actually very simple if you follow a basic structure.

A balanced herbal tea usually includes:

• 1 base herb (like chamomile or peppermint)

• 1 supporting herb (like lemon balm or ginger)

• 1 accent herb (like lavender or citrus peel)

The base herb provides the main effect, the supporting herb enhances it, and the accent herb adds aroma and depth.

This structure helps you avoid random mixes and creates teas that taste better and work better.
