The taste of it is just right... I have tried stevia in various forms (small tablets, liquid, and powder) and I threw them all away after the third use. This one doesn't taste bitter and it gives enough "sweetness" so that you can use a minimal amount.
It was recommended to me by a friend who was also thrilled with it.

Great advantage: the lid is really good and it doesn't open inside the bag where I always keep it.

2 stars for the outrageous 36% increase in price in one day. Okay, excellent product but not a 36% price increase in one day... come on, this is outrageous profiteering. I'm simply done with this stevia no matter how much I like it. With such behavior, we are not sheep, "gentlemen". Lower the price as you should have already done...

(Old opinion with an honest price then...
The closest thing to sugar in terms of taste. I preferred the transparent bottle to see how much is left, with the opaque one, sometimes you run out. Besides that, excellent product, if the other ingredients don't cause problems (this applies to any sugar substitute)

  the best stevia on the market, excellent taste, requires much less quantity to sweeten the same as the others

  Personally, it completely alters the taste of the drink for me. But my mother really likes it and it's the only brand she buys. So it's probably a matter of taste

  very good taste, its ingredients have a low glycemic index but I have some reservations about its safety still because it contains sodium hydroxide... as well as all chemical sweeteners are not proven safe... read in detail about each ingredient

  contains:

  1. Sodium Cyclamate
  What it is: Sodium cyclamate is an artificial sweetener that is about 30-50 times sweeter than sugar.
  Glycemic Index: It has a glycemic index of 0, so it does not raise blood sugar levels.
  Safety: Approved for use in many countries, but has been banned in some, such as the USA, due to concerns about its potential carcinogenic effects at high doses (although these concerns have not been confirmed in humans).

  2. Sodium Saccharin
  What it is: Saccharin is an artificial sweetener about 300-400 times sweeter than sugar.
  Glycemic Index: It also has a glycemic index of 0, and does not affect blood glucose levels.
  Safety: Saccharin has been linked to carcinogenesis in earlier studies on laboratory animals, but further research has found no carcinogenic effects in humans. International health organizations have approved it as safe for consumption at specified doses.

  3. Potassium Acesulfame (Ace-K)
  What it is: Acesulfame potassium is an artificial sweetener about 200 times sweeter than sugar. It is often used in combination with other sweeteners to enhance flavor.
  Glycemic Index: It has a glycemic index of 0 and does not affect blood sugar levels.
  Safety: It has been approved by many regulatory authorities, such as the FDA and EFSA, and is considered safe for consumption in permitted amounts.

  4. Steviol Glycosides
  What it is: Steviol glycosides are the compounds that give sweetness to the stevia plant. They are 200-300 times sweeter than sugar and are of natural origin.
  Glycemic Index: They have a glycemic index of 0, making them suitable for people with diabetes and for those who want to control blood sugar levels.
  Safety: Steviol glycosides are safe and have been approved for use in food and beverages in many countries. They do not present the same health concerns that have been expressed for some artificial sweeteners.

  In summary:
  All these sweeteners have a glycemic index of 0 and do not raise blood sugar.
  Artificial sweeteners such as sodium cyclamate, saccharin, and acesulfame potassium are safe for use in permitted doses, although some have historically been associated with health concerns that have not been fully confirmed.
  Steviol glycosides are a natural and safe option, especially for those who prefer natural sweeteners.

  Sorbic acid and sodium hydroxide are two chemical substances used in various industrial and consumer applications, but for different purposes.

  1. Sorbic Acid
  What it is: Sorbic acid is a natural organic acid primarily used as a food preservative. Its salt, potassium sorbate, is also a common preservative.
  Uses: It is widely used to prevent the growth of mold, yeast, and other microorganisms in food and beverages. It can be found in products such as cheeses, nuts, confectionery, and cosmetics.
  Safety: Sorbic acid is considered safe for human consumption and has been approved by international organizations such as the FDA and EFSA. It has low toxicity and does not cause serious side effects in recommended amounts. However, it may cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.

  2. Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH)
  What It Is: Sodium hydroxide, also known as caustic soda or lye, is a very strong base. It is highly corrosive and dangerous in concentrated form.
  Uses: It is used in many industrial processes, such as in the production of soaps, detergents, in water treatment, and in the food industry (e.g., in olive processing). In the food industry, it is used in controlled amounts for food processing, such as softening the skin of certain fruits.
  Safety: Sodium hydroxide is highly corrosive and can cause severe burns to the skin, eyes, and digestive system if ingested. In the food industry, it is used in very small amounts and under strict control to ensure safety. In household use, it is mainly found in cleaning products and should be used with caution.

  It is the best stevia on the market. It does not create a "metallic" taste like other more expensive products and is in liquid form which helps in mixing either in hot or cold beverages.

  When I go to Greece, I buy 3 packages for abroad. It is the best for coffee and for sweets that I made. It doesn't have much difference from sugar and definitely much better than anything else I have used as a sugar substitute

  Stevia in euphemism.
  I bought the product for use in a ketogenic diet, thinking that I was buying stevia sweetener allowed in the keto diet. Unfortunately, as I was informed by the company after a phone call, I bought a product that contains 0.1% steviol glycosides (stevia is about 300 times sweeter than sugar) and 5.5% Saccharin (which is 300-400 times sweeter than sugar). As one can easily see, the main sweetener in this product is saccharin and stevia is just there to be on the label for marketing purposes.
  UNACCEPTABLE unless, of course, you are buying it knowing that it is common saccharin.

  It is the only thing I don't understand the difference from sugar in hot coffee! I drink my coffee medium to bitter and with this, I want 2 drops in espresso = one teaspoon of sugar.

  It's not the worst, but it's not the best liquid stevia on the market either. The best I've found is from EPSA (ΕΨΑ) and I mean, only in its small 30ml bottle. The only reason Slim has more reviews is that it's cheaper and easier to find, not because it's better. Not all products are the same just because one says Stevia and the other says Stevia. The qualities of Stevia vary, even among different packages from the same company! Also, I immediately noticed that I use many more drops with Slim to make the coffee sweet compared to the company I mentioned earlier, where I use less and the coffee tastes better!

  It is the best in taste out of all the ones I have tried. You need a small quantity compared to other products. For a medium coffee, 2-3 drops are enough!

  We have been using it for years. It doesn't alter the flavors, it's not thick like others. It's perfect!
  (I happened to buy the large package, which is 500ml if I remember correctly, and the taste was completely different. It was like it was diluted with water.. So, what I'm writing applies to the small bottle.)

  It is the only stevia that does not change the taste of my drink, but because I generally drink most of my coffees plain, I do not use it systematically. My husband, who drinks his coffee sweet, prefers it over other sweeteners. However, a taste test is necessary because we do not all have the same taste buds.

  Generally, I have no issue with stevia like some people who find it bitter, so for me the differences are very small! This particular one is one of the best for me, although taste is always somewhat subjective!

  It says that 5 drops are equivalent to one teaspoon of sugar, but I use 8 for my coffee and it's very good! Much better than sweeteners that don't dissolve well and elsewhere you feel bitterness and in the end a sweetness. It is closer to sugar in sweetness.

  Contains steviol glycosides, sodium saccharin (which has been found to disrupt the balance of intestinal bacteria, which may be linked to diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and cancer), potassium acesulfame, and sodium cyclamate. So we are not buying pure stevia (after all, the packaging says "with a sweetener from the stevia plant" and not "stevia"). So if we are only interested in the taste, yes, it is sweet without an unpleasant aftertaste. However, if we are interested in consuming a product without laboratory-made artificial sweeteners, then it is definitely not the right product for us.

  Incredible product. With 4-5 drops in the coffee, it is moderate and doesn't change the taste at all. Really perfect, I bought it for €3.50 and it lasts for 4 months. It's truly worth it for those who are trying to cut down on sugar.

  I have been using it for several years now and I continue only with this one. I started with the clear bottles and luckily during that transitional period when you could still find some bottles from the old ones in some stores, I saved 2 clear bottles and now when I get a new bottle, I transfer it to the clear one so I know exactly how much I have. I wouldn't change it for anything. Recently, I tried the 500ml one but even though the taste is the same, it is so diluted that it's not worth it.

  It doesn't change the taste of coffee much.
  Certainly gives a better taste than powdered stevia.
  Of course, it shouldn't be just stevia. But for 0 calories, it's a good choice.
