One reviewer said this tasted of rotton raisins (that would be wine, wouldn't it?) which added nothing good to the water. Another reviewer said it was a favorite that she and her family couldn't get enough of. I taste a perfectly good Nilgiri, no raisin taste of any kind, but I think I've had more flavorful Nilgiris. I'll try it again when I don't have a cold, though. Toci
