Stevia

Stevia is a leafy shrub native to Paraguay and Brazil, where the Guarani people have long used its leaves to sweeten yerba mate. The dried leaves are intensely sweet, with a light licorice-like note and a gentle herbal aftertaste. Just a small amount is blended into herbal teas, fruit blends, rooibos and green tea to add natural sweetness without sugar. If you usually sweeten your tea, a stevia blend is a simple way to enjoy it straight from the pot.
