I think conceptually they aren't a bad idea, but unfortunately in most
cases they wind up being pretty nasty. Many of them appear to be designed
to appeal to people who believe tea is good for them but who don't like
tea.

That said, I have been very impressed with ITC's osmanthus tea, and I will
occasionally drink a jasmine or lotus tea.
