Nah, neither is wrong. When it comes to those tweener cases when preceding a word that starts with a consonant making a vowel sound (a[an] herbal tea), it's a matter of preference. Some of the greatest writers of the english language have differed on this. And they, not the grammer books, are the final authorities. My preference is that the article is matched with the sound.
