I had a box of this tea for weeks I hadn't tried until one late night when I couldn't sleep I got up and made a cup. I was astonished by the sweetness, though I rarely have sweet foods so may have found this sweeter than others would, but did a web search to make sure there was no sweetener. It maybe the combination of flavors that gives it such a sweet impact on the palate. This is now my favorite herb tea, and I enjoy several cups a day, or if a craving hits I drink this tea instead. I find the cinnamon taste  to be just right, since I didn't like strong cinnamon teas before. The cost through Amazon is a bit less than in my local market unless they have a sale. I use about 10oz of water per tea bag, let steep a couple minutes to release all the flavor.
