Adding Herbal Tea to Coffee?

Lifehacker has a post entitled, Herbal Tea Adds a Flavorful Kick to Your Coffee:

On an impulse, I decided to combine peppermint loose leaf tea with fresh ground coffee in the French press. The result was absolutely delicious. Experiments ensued, and peppermint, mint, cinnamon, and vanilla flavored herbal tea all blended well with coffee. The brew time for loose herbal tea is the same as French press coffee, so both get optimum steeping time.

I’ve tried making tea in a French press, and I’ve had tea lattes, but I don’t recall ever mixing tea and coffee. Anyone ever try it? And if so, what did you think?
