Maybe you just ordered a tea bundle (or two) from us, or you’re browsing our website thinking, "I need every single one of these." Either way, you might be wondering:

“Can I mix my teas together?”

We get asked this ALL the time, especially by people who have more than one health goal but don’t necessarily want to drink five separate cups of tea every day.

The short answer is: yes, you can mix many of our herbal teas together!

Mixing teas can be an easy way to incorporate more blends into your daily routine, support multiple wellness goals in one cup, and even create new flavor combinations you love.

But before you start mixing everything, there are a few things to consider. Let’s get into it!

 

 

Why Would You Mix Herbal Teas Together?

The biggest reason is simple: you want the benefits of more than one tea without having to drink cup after cup all day long. Maybe you’re supporting your stress response while also wanting to support inflammation. Or you’re working on digestion while also focusing on another health goal.

Instead of trying to find room in your day for every tea individually, combining compatible blends can make your routine easier. Mixing two herbal blends creates an entirely different flavor profile, and you may discover combinations you like even more than drinking the teas separately.

The key word here is compatible. Not every tea needs to be mixed with every other tea. Before combining two blends, ask yourself a few questions.

 

1. How Will the Teas Taste Together?

First things first: will they actually taste good together?

Just because two teas support health goals you care about doesn’t necessarily mean their flavors are going to complement each other.

Look at the overall flavor profiles of the teas you want to combine. A spicy chai spiced blend might pair beautifully with another warming tea, while a floral or minty blend may work better with something lighter.

You can always experiment. Start with a small amount, and if you don’t love the combination, enjoy the teas separately next time. There are no bonus points for forcing yourself to drink a tea combination you don't enjoy!

 

2. Does Either Tea Contain Caffeine?

This is an easy one with Loose Leaf Tea Market teas because Sleek & Slender is our only caffeinated tea.

Sleek & Slender contains white tea, which naturally contains caffeine.

That doesn't mean you can't mix Sleek & Slender with another tea. You absolutely can. You just need to keep the caffeine in mind, especially if you're sensitive to it or you're making your tea later in the day. If you’re combining teas for an evening cup, we generally recommend sticking with caffeine-free blends.

 

3. Is One of the Teas Intended for Sleep or Evening Relaxation?

Timing is another important consideration. Some of our blends, including Cortisol Evening Tea and Inflammation Relief Tea, contain calming herbs and are great additions to an evening routine.

That doesn’t mean drinking one of these teas during the day is automatically going to make you fall asleep at your desk. Our calming teas aren't formulated with heavily sedative herbs intended to “knock you out.” Instead, they contain herbs traditionally used to support relaxation, the nervous system, and a calmer transition into rest.

But purpose still matters. If you have a tea specifically intended to become part of your nighttime routine, it generally makes more sense to pair it with another evening-friendly tea rather than mixing it into your morning cup.

Think about what you want your tea to do and when you want that support.

 

4. Consider the Benefits of Each Tea

Before combining two blends, think about why you're drinking each one in the first place.

Some teas are easy to combine because their purposes complement each other. Other teas have specific directions or ways they're intended to be used that make drinking them separately a better choice.

Sugarproof Tea is a good example.

Part of the way Sugarproof works to stop sugar cravings involves the tea making direct contact with your tongue. Because of that, we recommend drinking Sugarproof on its own if you want that sweet-blocking effect. 

 

How Do You Mix Two Loose Leaf Teas Together?

There are two easy ways to do it.

Option 1: Split Your Teas in One Cup

If you want your normal 8-ounce cup of tea, use:

½ teaspoon of Tea #1 + ½ teaspoon of Tea #2 + 8 ounces of hot water

That gives you 1 teaspoon of loose-leaf tea total.

Steep for 7–10 minutes, then strain and enjoy.

This is the easiest method if you're trying to incorporate multiple blends without increasing the amount of tea you're drinking.

 

Option 2: Make a Double Batch

Want the full serving of each tea? Make a bigger batch.

Use:

1 teaspoon of Tea #1 + 1 teaspoon of Tea #2 + 16 ounces of hot water

Steep for 7–10 minutes.

Now you've made two cups at once. You can drink them together in a larger mug, split the batch into two servings, or save some for later.

The important thing is maintaining our basic brewing ratio:

1 teaspoon of loose leaf tea for every 8 ounces of hot water. If you're combining teas without increasing your water, split that teaspoon between the blends.

 

Example Time

Say you have the Cortisol Tea Bundle & our Inflammation-Fighting Tea Bundle.

During the day, try:

½ teaspoon Daytime Cortisol + ½ teaspoon Joint Support

This combination makes sense for someone who wants to support their stress response while also supporting healthy inflammation and joints during the day.

Then in the evening, try:

½ teaspoon Cortisol Evening + ½ teaspoon Inflammation Relief 

Both blends help your body and mind relax for a good night's sleep.

 

Some other blends that pair well together:

Daytime Cortisol + Blood Pressure

Liver Cleanse + Joint Support

Inflammation Relief + Daily Detox

Bye Bye Bloat + Joint Support

Cortisol Sleep Tea + Inflammation Relief 

Cortisol Sleep Tea + Blood Pressure

Cortisol Evening + Daily Detox

 

In Conclusion...

Yes, you can mix your herbal teas. It can be a simple way to incorporate more than one tea into your day, combine complementary wellness goals, and even discover new flavor combinations.

Just remember to consider:

• Flavor: Will these teas actually taste good together?

• Caffeine: If you're using Sleek & Slender, remember that it contains caffeine.

• Timing: Does one of the blends make more sense during the day or as part of your evening routine?

• Purpose: Are the benefits of the two teas complementary?

• Directions: Is either tea intended to be used in a particular way?
