When I worked for a tea house, sometimes customers would ask for a blend of herbs; not any specific blend, just any blend I could come up with, so long as there wasn't tea (C. sinensis) in the mix. They wanted something non-caffeinated for a shift in the service.
Some of my colleagues were experienced herbalists; some by formal training at a local herbal medicine school and others through years of personal research and connections. I lacked that experience, and therefore, the request to effectively "wing it" was intimidating.
This blend was my first blend where after serving it at the table, I had no qualifications about my enjoyment of it. It is bright red after brewing, and has a sweet, puckering sourness that makes it a great treat in the middle of a multi-tea session.
This tea would be at home bulk-made in a carafe served on a picnic table, lightly sweetened with honey to make a delicious natural drink!
