Since herbals effectively can't be oversteeped, there's no harm in adding another serving of peppermint for each reinfusion (assuming you have sufficient space). This, naturally, won't exactly work if your "flavor" tea isn't an herbal — I can't help you there — but for your example it'll be dandy. Happy brewing! :) —Eric, Teavana employee (Easton, Columbus, OH) Not necessarily, Matt — if one of your teas can be reinfused (e.g. Monkey Picked Oolong) and the other is a tisane of some kind (that is, a rooibos, maté, or simply an herbal blend), there’s actually a rather straightforward solution.

Hopefully the photographer isn't quite as clumsy as me — I have a nasty habit of spilling stuff.

When I blend two teas, such as Monkey Picked Oolong and say peppermint, how many steeps can I get out of it? I know Monkey Picked Oolong is good for a number of steeps but peppermint is only good for 1. Do I have to waste one very good tea for a good blend?
