Whole Dried Stevia Leaves,3.00 oz,100% Natural Green Stevia Leaf from South America.

Just as God made it to be used, with no chemicals or preservatives. I experimented and found the sweetness I like per quart, and now brew it, with my various teas, using the cotton, reusable teabags I got on Amazon. Cannot believe how much I love Stevia brewed this way!

I drink a lot of ice tea. This is perfect to add just after boiling. Let set for a few and pour in container through a strainer.

Great quality product. Very consistently well flavored. Good service.

Product (itself) is good, but price per weight/amount is crazy & no "hand-picked" feature can justify it, also seller's (company's) name is "A PLUS Traders" which is like screaming "I wanna be on TOP of all Alphabetical lists", is immature or non-American (probably Asian).So good product, but marketing is expensive & "pushy".I use Stevia in this pure/raw form as prevention for difficult infections, which I (fortunately) don't have but it's good periodically as prevention (anyway), as I visit forests of U.S. NorthEast inhabited by the bugs/mosquitos - after in year2016 & recently, Stevia was found by medical researchers, tobe as effective against "LYME Disease" as antibiotics yet w/o side effects!, even effective vs. LYME's most resistant form - BioFilm, that no antibiotic can tackle (well) but Stevia does. Doesn't mean it is a "magic herb", b/c tests were in-vitro, whereas by the time Stevia passes thru your stomach/guts it's kind of decomposed before absorbtion into bloodstream; still it was surprising for researchers to discover this (new) property of Stevia, amongst its previously known anti-bacterial properties (e.g. it attacks Candida, etc. which again, I don't have, but why not do something for yourself as a prevention, ANYWAY?, likewise avoid sugar, brush teeth, etc.?).BEWARE:This is real Stevia (GREEN, as grows in nature), not white powder pretending to be "Stevia" sold at foodstores (which is processed/separated compounds of Stevia, often (not always) mixed w/fillers, & confusing people by the use of word "Stevia"), so this one is a real/raw (Green) Herb which is what medical researchers tested.Just tobe clear for everyone, again:I don't use Stevia as a sweetener (inexplicably associated with the fake/white powder, sold in foodstores under the same name "Stevia"), rather - I use (REAL/GREEN) Stevia for a different purpose (as explained above). Thus won't comment about its sweeteness (don't care for it), just say this much: real/Green (pure) Stevia, e.g. THIS PRODUCT, is by definition less sweet than processed/White powder also known as "Stevia" in foodstores. Avoid white powder, only use real/green Stevia if anti-bacterial (herbal) benefit is what you want (& I like its lower sweeteness, bordering with bitterness, better, anyway).

This was a recommendation as the best sweetener, especially it you are trying to keep your sugar intake down. And whole leaf was preferred, rather than the granules. I used 8 in my iced tea yesterday and it was enough to be barely sweet, which is what I want. I have never been able to drink my tea without some sweetener. But, as a cancer patient, I know that processed sugar is bad, but green teas are good for you. This did what I wanted it to do. Now I have an option besides just water to drink.

this is so much better than the ground leaves

A recently bought a third bag of the dried stevia leaves from this company. I'm having to discard about two thirds of the leaves because they are burnt or of poor quality. With the first bag I purchased from this company most of the dried leaves were very green and of good quality. I'm not an expert on drying leaves but I think it harms the product and affects the taste if the leaves are dried at too high of a temperature and they turn brown in the process. I appreciate the fact that the leaves probably need to be dried fairly quickly to deter mold formation. Companies growing stevia don't seem to be able to dry the leaves properly and it's a disappointment to me because I've been using dried green stevia leaves in my tea every morning since 1997. For many years I used stevia tea bags from Wisdom Herbs but they discontinued selling it. Actually the quality of their product deteriorated in the last few years they were selling it. Now I'm having trouble finding good quality, properly dried leaves. I'm thinking of switching to using the processed white powder but it doesn't have all the health benefits of the whole leaves. If anybody knows of a company selling good quality dried green stevia leaves please mention it.

It’s iced tea season, and a little of this stevia sweetens the pot nicely. I add a tablespoon or so Of this when steeping a 1-quart pitcher of tea. Add a little fresh-squeezed lemon juice, and you have a bright and refreshing drink. I will buy more of this brand.
