Don't ask me how I know this, but for a brief time in the 90's, Play-doh made a scented Play-doh that smelled like Christmas cookies.  It tasted just like this tea.  BLECH!  Just the thought of drinking this stuff again makes me feel ill.  It is truly awful and does not taste like a cookie- at all.  It tastes very fake, and cloying, if that makes any sense.  I was very disappointed because I love Celestial Seasonings Cinnamon Apple Spice.
