[edit] Split?

Just as a thought, this topic could support two articles, one on the art of 'constructing' a blend of just teas, and one on the various additives to tea. Having known a tea trader, I've some idea of just how complicated the former is, and how relatively little it has in common with the peppermint teas et al. Alternatively the blending bit could go into the main Tea article, and this one could be renamed Flavoured teas or something - thinking about it, that would be my preferred option at this stage.

[edit] Lychee/Vietnamese lotus flower

It's not clear that lychee and Vietnamese lotus flower teas are all made with artificial (synthetic) scents, or have always been. For the lotus, it's documented that the tea was actually deposited overnight in actual lotus blossoms growing in lakes. I believe information about these two should be added.
