Love this tea so much. Does anyone know exactly how much stevia is actually in it. For medical reasons?

According to the box there is No stevia in it. I wouldn't be able to drink with an artificial sweetener.

I bought the powder instead of loose tea as I put it in smoothies or sprinkle some on veggies, etc. I do not remember the amount as I store it in a container. I like it very much & feel that it helps with every day stressors.

I have no idea. For me, the caffeine content is not a concern. There ming be a decaffeinated one, and if that were the case, I myself would not buy it. It was a great tasting and extraordinary quality of tea. I'll be getting more.

I drink this tea at least 5 times a week for about 3 weeks strait, then I take a week off. I've never broken out from it, but maybe you drink it too many days strait? I believe the box says not to pass 30 days strait drinking it

I contacted company in Arizona. Reply was that they only use organic stevia and only source is China. I do not care to use products from China however this particular product seems to be a good one.

It is pure stevia so you probably want to measure it in drops rather than in tbs. For teacup, it takes 5-6 drops to sweeten it up, for small coffee cup - 2-3 drops.

What I've found is that that information is proprietary and they don't want to give it out. The nutrition information only lists the 4g "sugar alcohols" (i.e. erythritol) per serving size, but not how much luo han. When I was mixing my own stevia-erythritol blend, I found that a 1 : 250-300g ratio will make it taste something like this, where the stevia isn't too strong with the aftertaste (Truvia for instance uses too much stevia and it still has the aftertaste). So for 10g of erythritol to sweeten a cup of tea or something, you would add about .03 g (or 30mg) of stevia, or a single 45mg scoop that comes in some stevia jars would be good. So the luo han should be similar; perhaps with a lesser ratio since it doesn't have quite as bitter a taste.

Stevia is not clearly listed on the label that can be seen on Amazon. Answers are conflicting. Which is it?

I have no idea - (I know that's not that helpful)But, I bought it a long time ago and I personally thought it was gross. I now use the Chai from Celestial Seasonings teas and make my own (it's delicious) and use a tiny bit of honey, I don't really like my tea very sweet. To me it was gag me with a spoon sweet, even diluted with the dairy beverage of choice, it was way too sweet for me. (did I mention it was too sweet?)

Hi Lisa, I put only 1 tsp in a green and red drink -- all powders and then put a few organic frozen strawberries and frozen blueberries in it and put it in fridge ...go to a walk...and come back and enjoy it. The drink combines greens with reds, 1 tsp each of l glutamine powder and inflammacore for immune system then i add 1 tablespoon of organic pomegrante powder and organic black raspberry powder. So the taste is basically sweet from all the fruit. Not calorie to any extent but a good immune drink. I mix with 1/4 or less cup of iced filtered water or Fiji. My integrative hematologist advised me on this. Not sure this will be helpful to you though. On the side, each day I have a fresh green drink that has a bit of beet in it too. I must say I never get sick and don't take the flu shot. Eat as much organic as possible. my e-mail is gaynornews@gmail.com if you want to follow up directly. Betty Ann Gaynor

Yes, it's an enormous amount of tea. Great price for good strong tea. I get it for my office. If you buy it for home you might want to repack some in tins or sealed bags to keep it fresh.

I just posted on this. There was a posting a few months back that the product was now being made in China and the taste was unpleasantly different. I do not think this was true of my batch, but I was influenced by the comments of others. Look into those early 2013 comments if you feel the need, but if you are not happy with the taste nothing anyone says will make a difference. I would suggest you look around for something else but stay in the Stevia family.

We are proud to say that ALL of the Stevia used in our stevia extract, stevia liquid, and stevia flavors is grown in Paraguay, South Amercia. Not many (if any at all) stevia companies can say that since "most" stevia is grown in China and shipped worldwide then manufactured in the states. We guarantee our stevia extract is 100% pure-no fillers or additives. Thanks for your great question! If you need any further assistance, we can be reached at info@steviaselect.com. Thank you, Diana

You can by stevia in packets, unflavored or even in unflavored liquid to use in recipes. The flavor is only detectable if you use more than the 4 - 5 drops, so no, in my experience you do not get 288 servings. that amount of drops only takes away bitterness, but does not sweeten or flavor for my taste. I use between 12 and 20 drops, depending on my mood, for tea, or what I am sweetening. I like these drops for tea or smoothies, ... mostly for beverages. I use the powdered unflavored stevia for baking. I hope this is helpful to you. Oh, the expiration dates are far in the future of how long it takes me to consume the product.

I usually use a half tea spoon for 11-12oz. That is my personal preference. You may want to play around with it and see where you like it at. Also, starbucks Greentea latte's are usually sweetened unless you ask otherwise. I like to put honey or stevia in my home made Matcha.

I am just a customer, Lana, but I have been drinking this tea for 7 months now. I have fibromyalgia and the tea seems to lessen my pain. It was gradual but I noticed the difference in a short amount of time. Also, befor taking the tea I had blood work done and my blood pressure, cholesterol, sugar and everything was so out of whack! After 3 months of taking this tea, I had to have more blood work done and all of my blood work came back perfect! My doctor asked me what I was doing and I told her that I was just drinking my essiac tea. So...in answer to your question, don't know if it is the from canada but it works for me. I just ordered another bulk bag. I wish I could be of more help. I am just a customer, Lana, but I have been drinking this tea for 7 months now.
