It’s very good to combine with other Xantines like Cola nut, guarana, Cocoa or other kinds of Ilex family.
It’s possible to combines for example with Ginkgo biloba or with other herbs.

You must find not interract combination (if you want mix it with other herbs), but good mix is also with fruit teas or lemon & honey.

Thanks, Gaiana!
