I just don't like the bitter taste -- and the after taste . So I'm a herbal tea gal. (Not even a fan of regular tea). Right now I'm sipping a cup of cranberry app;e that is divine. Smells sooooo good and sweet enough on its own that you don't need to add any sugar. I bet it would make awesome iced tea.
