Blending your own coffee or tea is like creating a personal signature scent - start by understanding flavor profiles of different beans or leaves, then experiment with ratios. Try mixing a bright Ethiopian coffee with a nutty Brazilian, or blend Earl Grey with lavender for a custom afternoon tea that's uniquely yours.

โI started out with a simple mix of 1.5 ounces of Green Rooibos as a base mixed with .25 ounce of Bee Pollen and .25 ounce of Rose Petals. After I blended the three ingredients together, I was able to brew a trial cup of tea to make sure that I was satisfied with my blend. My end result tasted OK, but was a little bland, so our instructor recommended that I add .25 ounce of Peppermint and .25 ounce of Hibiscus. These additions helped my tea turn a pretty pink color and have a bit more obvious flavor.โ
โOverall thoughts? I was very impressed with how much our instructor knew about tea. The class felt very comprehensive [...] and I walked out feeling like I actually learned something. I enjoyed the hands-on nature of the class and felt it would be a great alternative for a girls night instead of the repetitive pottery painting, cake decorating, and flower arranging outings.โ
โFrom there, we were set loose on a flight of tea samples and encouraged to make our own blends. I was rather proud of my own concoction until I later realized I had "invented" a lesser clone of English Breakfast. At least it tasted good!โ
