This sounds really interesting and will appeal to the non-coffee drinkers too. Especially if you formulate a "pep in your step" blend.
I'd say a degree of trained Herbalist affiliation or putting yourself through a course would help to lend legitimacy to the product too. It's how Pukka started out, pre being bought and sold by Unilever, that is.
Good luck and I'd be interested to sample.
Edit:Pukka aren't doing all that well (anecdotally) and also the herbal tea market is well saturated.

Thank you.
The 'Pep' blend is something that I've also worked on, but it's not something that I use regularly (I also love a coffee).I have a couple of Herbalists locally that IO've spoken with about this but unfortunately it's not a business model that they have any experience with, although they have been very encouraging about the idea.
There will definitely be some samples going out in the future!

Hey everyone,
I want to blend and sell herbal teas but have no idea how to go about this. I know this off topic for the forum, but seeing as I cross reference a lot of disparate parts of my life on here I thought I'd give it a shot.
I'd like to gauge any interest in what I'm thinking about and hopefully there will also be people on here who have some advice and constructive criticism.
I'm interested in herbal medicines and I make blends of teas for myself. I started off with something to sooth asthma symptoms, which I sometimes suffer with. The blend of herbs are all things which have both modern science and ancestral herbal medicine evidence. I have a blend that I really enjoy and for me does just what I was hoping for, which I've settled on through researching herbs for their properties and trial and error for the balance of flavors. I drink it most days now and sometimes take a cold brew on rides.
After this I made a blend of tea for when I stop a ride. I wanted it to support recovery and help me to wind down, so it has ingredients specifically for this. I made another blend which is for sleep (I know there are tons for sale already). And lately I made a blend to promote calmness and focus, which is nice during work.
Ideally I would like to be able to sell these online, share what I've learned about herbs with everyone and help people feel the benefits, and make some money so that I can continue to learn more, share more and make more money.
I need to get any 'kitchen' work done by someone else as I don't have a kitchen that could be used for this.
I'm very happy to share what's in the different blends and anything else but I wanted to keep this initial post brief.
Thanks for any help or advise
Dan
