I am on a quest to make the perfect bedtime tea. One thing almost all nighttime blends are missing is a creamy factor, which makes sense since they are herbals 90% of the time. And the rooibos ones I can’t drink, so that is not an option! So I’ve decided to just do it myself.
This time: 52te’s Lemon Dreams and Harney & Sons Vanilla Comoro (which is decaf). I did the ratios about half and half: the results were tasty, but the lemon/chamomile/honeybush overpowered the black/vanilla combo. I’m thinking maybe 3 parts vanilla to 2 parts lemon dreams next time.
Though my ideal blend would be mixed myself: chamomile, lemon peel, cinnamon bark and vanilla comoro (since, you know, it’s a bit in the pain in the butt to blend my own decaf vanilla!). Maybe with a little lavender… I really need to make a Mountain Rose Herbs order!

This combo sounds really good! I agree – a nighttime vanilla blend would rock. I definitely would recommend adding lavender. I’m going to experiment too and try to find a good blend. Adding vanilla comoro is genius – it’s definitely one of the best vanillas out there.
Challenge accepted! :)
If we both manage to come up with good blends, we should swap and compare! I love tea experimenting~
Absolutely to both the swap and experimentation! I’ll probably start concocting this weekend. :)
