I haven't tried them, I tell myself it's likely to be quite a mild flavour. If I'm in the mood for a tea that doesn't taste like tea, I'll take a glass jar full of loose leaf and soak it in huge amounts of cinnamon and orange essential oils. Give that a few days to cure, and it makes a powerful, warming, sugar-free yet sweet, and nose-punchingly fragrant tea. Enough cinnamon oil and it can strip the paint off a wall, and that's how I like it. Stole the idea from the specialty tea shop in Pike Place Market, Seattle.
