Visit an herbal store and add your own dried fruits and flowers. In the business these are called tisanes.

I like the suggestions for herbal and blended teas. British teas, like Earl Grey, are one place to investigate blends. The herbals include some "traditional medicinals" that have marked flavors, like the herba tussin and lemon echinacea for the throat. Other medicinal teas that people favor include the elderberry and camomile. I read that some tea drinkers with jaded taste buds even try some with a little monkey dung in it.

But rather than get into prescribing variations for bored tea tastes, I suggest that one address tea drinking as a meditation practice, assuming that a relaxed, harmonious, balanced and centered state of mind helps appreciate tea, and vice-versa. bookburn
