The Red Leaf Tea website says "sweet and nutty herbal brew" and to be honest... I taste NOTHING nutty about this tisane. It also says "We added the sweetening herbs of safflower and cornflowers to the pecan-like flavor of Rooibos, and then infused the batch with a strong red cabernet wine. This blend of flowery and nutty flavors with the grape of the wine turned out to be fantastic" Well, maybe it's infused with wine, but to me it doesn't TASTE like wine! I'm not sure WHAT it tastes like, but it IS really good. I have a bit of a sweet tooth, and found that adding stevia after brewing changed the flavour a lot - instead of being a "ho-hum" drink, it was elevated to one of my favourite herbals!
