Herbal Harmony: How to Blend and Layer Tea Flavors at Home

Create Your Own Signature Sips with Full Moon Tea Blends

Blending teas at home is a joyful way to experiment with flavor, tune into your body, and craft the exact mood you’re craving—whether it’s calm and cool or bright and bold. With Full Moon Tea’s artfully curated blends, layering becomes intuitive, delicious, and fun.

Below, you'll find easy ideas for how to mix your favorite blends into something new, complete with flavor pairings and simple mocktail recipes you can enjoy hot or iced.

 

Blending Basics

Pick a Base: Choose your main flavor or wellness vibe.

Add a Companion: Look for something that complements or balances the base.

Taste & Adjust: Use a 2:1 ratio to start (two parts base, one part support) and tweak from there.

Hint: You can hot-steep both together or cold brew overnight for smoother flavor.

 

Favorite Blend Combos


Cool & Uplifted

Blackberry Mojito + Pear & Ginger Green
Minty, fruity, and lightly spiced—a fresh pick-me-up that feels like spring in a cup.

Mocktail Idea: Cold brew the blend, then add a splash of lemon juice and top with sparkling water. Garnish with a blackberry and mint sprig.

 

Floral Chill

Hibiscus Lavender + Summer Jasmine Green
Bright, floral, and gently tart—this combo relaxes your senses while giving your tastebuds a little zing.

Mocktail Idea: Brew, chill, and stir with honey and a touch of lime juice. Serve over ice with edible flowers.

 

Sweet Garden Glow

Strawberry Honeysuckle White + Secret Garden Mint
Soft, fruity, and cooling. Perfect for hot days or slow mornings on the porch.

Mocktail Idea: Cold brew and pour over frozen strawberry slices. Add crushed mint if desired. A drop of agave makes it extra refreshing.

 

Mountain Fog

Appalachian Lady Grey + Hibiscus Lavender
Aromatic, citrusy black tea with floral undertones and a subtle tang. A perfect brunch blend.

Mocktail Idea: Brew hot, cool, then shake with a dash of orange juice and a drizzle of maple syrup. Serve chilled with a citrus peel twist.

 

Sunset Ease

Pear & Ginger Green + Strawberry Honeysuckle White
Fruity, lightly spiced, and comforting without being heavy. A lovely afternoon or early evening brew.
