Starwest Botanicals Stevia Leaf Powder Organic Medicinal and Botanical Herbs

Not the cleanest or easiest way to sweeten tea, but it works if you want a natural, no-calorie, non-chemically processed sweetener. Tastes great to me. Others hate it. Doesn't dissolve like sugar because it's not sugar. You will get sediment. That's a small price to pay for a great product.

Having it straight has a bit of a licorice taste, but I make 2 blends out of it.If you cut it with erythritol 1 cup erythritol to 1/2 teaspoon stevia or so and throw it in a coffee grinder or blender it cuts the erythritol aftertaste and the stevia aftertaste.Some use a blend of erythritol and xylitol and stevia and comes out good from what my neighbor said.This does not dissolve well in liquids as is but once you refine it a little bit more it will dissolve better.

WARNING: DOES NOT DISSOLVE WELL/AT ALL IN WATER!!!It does not dissolve because it contains the chlorophyll aspects of the plant, which is not processed out like the white powder, and chlorophyll is insoluble in water. There will be a large amount of sediment left at the bottom - and it also basically colors your drink green (which really isn't that big of an issue). Also because it does not dissolve, it DOES NOT SWEETEN the beverage well. You end up having to use perhaps 5-6 times the normal amount of powder as compared to the white processed powder, in order to achieve the same level of sweetness, and you just get left with a large amount of gloop at the bottom, and more cleaning to do.The ONLY POSITIVE thing I will say about this powder is that it does not have any bitter taste at all, like all the white processed powders usually have, and it is 100% pure and organic without any hidden additives.I have tried many different types of stevia over the years and in my opinion - just get the organic white processed powder - it is far less hassle and problems to deal with, as well as less cleaning in the end.

The green powder is very sweet ... only a dash will do!Best of all, it seems to be the "real thing" -- not adulterated with other artificial sweeteners that are present in "packets" sold in boxes at the usual retail outlets -- e.g. local supermarkets, Trader Joes, and Costco.We found using a recycled spice "shaker" is the most effective way to apply it to food dishes, etc.While it flavors hot or cold drinks, it doesn't dissolve -- clumps and leaves a residue on the bottom of a cup or glass. But we found a YouTube video on how to use the powder to make "liquid" Stevia. That works great!Overall, we're happy ... and healthier, too!

Well, it clearly isn't an artificial sweetener, and lots of 'natural' ones are.The taste is a bit herbal (bitter), but it's fine for blending with my coffee.I just put this in with the coffee grounds and get a little sweetness isall. Works decently.I've been burned by chemical sweeteners so many times, (they giveme bad reactions) this is a safe natural sweetener.Every time I looked for a zero cal miracle sweetener, I ended upwith artificial. It's rampent!!! This one does what I need it to do.

Tastes good, but it isn't good in everything that I'd ordinarily sweeten with stevia extract. I used it in smoothies and it was good, but it has too much of a green taste (similar to green tea) to be used in much else.

I have used it in my tea. I put it with the tea bag or other loose teas in the pan with water and bring to boil. Then I strain it into my thermos if there is loose leaf.I have used it with dried elderberries and tulsi tea power. I put it in my crock pot hot cereal. Only about 1/8 tsp. It is very sweet. Not sure how it is when it is not done this way. I suppose it could be put in boiling then added to a drink and chilled. Good taste, not bitter. No chemicals- I like it!

A natural product, no preservatives added, no chemicals, and no calories. you have to learn to use the right amount, too much of it is not tasteful.
