Review: This herbal infusion is better than the Dewy Cherry blend I reviewed earlier, in that it's less cloying and sour. I still didn't like this blend very much, though. There's definitely cinnamon added in this blend, which I thought was promising, but in the end, the cinnamon taste was barely discernable. I think Apple Cantata could also use some cloves and possibly, ginger to spice it up a bit. The overall taste just seemed too bland for me.
