How to Blend Your Own Loose-Leaf Tea at Home

Blending tea is part intuition, part recipe — and always satisfying. With loose-leaf herbs, you can make teas that match your mood, body, and taste perfectly.

Start with a Base:
Begin with a mild herb like Lemon Balm, Rooibos, or Green Tea. It carries the rest of your ingredients.

Add Supportive Notes:
Include function and flavor — Peppermint for cooling, Ginger for warmth, Hibiscus for color, Licorice Root for sweetness.

Balance the Blend:
A simple rule of thumb:

  • 3 parts base

  • 2 parts supportive herbs

  • 1 part accent (floral or spice)

Mix gently by hand and store in a sealed jar. Brew one teaspoon per cup for 10 minutes.

Lhasa Karnak’s hand-packed herbs make experimentation easy — buy one ounce of each, mix, taste, and adjust. There’s no wrong way to blend, only discovery.
