SweetLeafStevia Packets 70 Count

There is a very mild taste at first. Not bitter at all! I use 1 and a half packets. Does the trick for me. Next I’m trying the drops too. Good stuff! We just ordered 2 more boxes. You can put them in anything and it doesn’t give you cavities. Where has this been all along !!!! Highly recommend.

This is one of the few pure Stevia products I have found and it taste great and I’ve re-ordered it and re-ordered it

OK. Thought it would taste different - not bad just not what I expected.

I like this. No, it doesn't taste exactly like sugar and I didn't expect it to as they come from different plants. Stevia doesn't have that soapy aftertaste that Equal does. Nor, the bitter aftertaste of saccharin in Sweeta. Took about a week for my taste buds to adapt to the taste change. The one thing I have noticed is the sweetness of this really hits your taste buds after you finish your swallow. Works fine in all the brewed varieties of hot and cold teas I drink. Doesn't have the heaviness/syrupiness of sugar in your drinks. It actually leaves my teas tasting very bright and refreshing.I have also used this to make lemonade, using Volcano Bursts Organic Italian Lemon Juice. It turned out good...not great; hopefully next time I'll like it even more.I have also noticed that if I take a sip of something with SweetLeaf, after eating something sweetened with sugar, you still get the sweetness of the stevia. Normally eating something sugary and then sipping something sweetened with sugar will taste like it needs to be sweeter because the first food wiped out your sweet taste buds.I haven't had the clumping/floating problems that others talk about. Once when I poured it directly onto an ice cube, I noticed what they were talking about, but it dissolved when I stirred the brew.Give it a chance, just don't jump to the conclusion of 'I don't like it' after trying it once.Remember, each packet is worth 2 tsps. of sugar sweetness. Just like any other sweetener, natural or chemical, too much will just taste nasty.UPDATE: I went looking for a Stevia product without any added ingredients and found Now Foods Organic Stevia, White, 4 Ounce. I really like that fact that this dissolves even better and I don't have to worry throwing away the envelope into the non-recycle garbage. Yes, you do have to use a measuring spoon with it, but these work out beautifully Norpro 3080 Stainless Steel Mini-Measuring Spoons, Set includes (Tad, Dash, Pinch, Smidgen and a Drop). So, if you don't need the convenience of the pre-measured stuff, give this a try. Only took my a try or two to figure out that I add a Dash to 1 quart of Herbal Peppermint or Spearmint Tea.

I was originally highly upset with this product because it had zero sweetness. As a diabetic, I can’t just temporarily substitute with sugar instead and vow to resume my diet tomorrow. I contacted the manufacturer to see if there was any recourse and found out there was indeed a production issue affecting a certain batch. Once they verified I had one of the affected boxes, they sent me a replacement right away. So, if you buy this and it isn’t sweet, either return it to Amazon immediately within the return window or reach out to the manufacturer. Do not simply settle for the bad batch box like I did originally. You’ll definitely know if you have a bad batch because there will be no sweetness at all. That’s because it’s likely just inulin without the stevia. I originally wrote a much more critical review, but despite the inconvenience, I know things happen and appreciate the manufacturer’s willingness to make it right ASAP. So I only knocked off one star for the entire ordeal.

Unfortunately, I’m past the return window and just opened this box to use. Absolutely no sweetness whatsoever. I thought it was odd that I had to go from using one packet in my coffee to trying up to four packets with no change in flavor. Then I opened packets and tasted them, and there was absolutely no sweetness. I went on to look at some other reviews and there was a complaint about a bad batch. I’ve purchased this product so many times on Amazon. I’ve lost count. Don’t know that I will do it again. I don’t think the return window should apply if it’s a defective product. Waste of money.

Good small packets of stevia. Received promptly and as described.

The product is great. Sweet and tastes great. No bitterness or after taste. However, I should have sent it back. The stevia box looked to be old and battered. Packet of stevia were even out of the box, but in the delivery bag. I'm not even sure if I have all 70 packets. I only kept it because, I really wanted to try the product. Again, the steva is 5 stars. The box was a 1 star. Should not have been shipped. This did not happen in the shipping process; more like warehousing damage.
