Question
Hi there!
I'm a great tea-fan and like to try out different herbal teas. I wondered whether it is "safe" to mix herbal teas due to their properties. Are there any teas and/or combinations I should look out for?
Thanks!

Answer
Hello, and thanks for your question! I don't see any problems with mixing herbal teas, although some flavor combinations may not taste pleasant. I would make sure to use flavors that complement each other. I wouldn't try to mix stong and weak flavors. I think you'll find that mixing herbal tea with a tea of matching flavor, such as herbal peach and peach white tea, will be a great use of herbal teas. I hope this answers your question, but feel free to ask again if it didn't.
