With what is the product sweetened? There's nothing on the label that mentions what makes it taste sweet. What gives it the mint flavor?

There isn't any sugar/sweetener listed in the ingredients. I'm fairly certain there isn't any sweetener as it tastes similar to unsweetened root beer. I prefer the original to the mint flavored version.

for the peppermint flavor the label just states "natural flavors " . I have taken both the olive leaf only product and the peppermint. There is an astringency to both. If you have ever tasted olive oils, some are "smooth", but many are strong, some to the point of almost burning your throat. Barlean's is not burning strong but has some definite tang to it. I do take it straight from the bottle and find the taste lingers about a minute, well worth it for dropping my blood pressure into the 120 over 80 range. I've gone back to the olive leaf only as the peppermint did not make much difference to me. for the peppermint flavor the label just states "natural flavors " .

No sweetener. Just olive leaf extract, glycerin, water and natural flavor. I prefer the one without peppermint flavor.

I've never tried the mint. I like the cinnamon tingle just fine so I'd probably just stick with it. I keep it in the fridge and take it with apple juice. I don't think I'd like it minty anyway, not a huge fan of mint.

It has peppermint taste. My kids love it, so I keep it out of reach. I cannot guarantee your kids will like it.

I have not tried the mint melt, but the mint free melts are sweet. I have been thinking of trying the mint melts next.

It has cinnamon and stevia in it. The stevia amounts are small and don't make it "sweet" tasting like other beverages, but it's just enough to brighten up the flavor. I drink it with 75% water and 25% apple cider.

It's not bitter but definitely has a unique taste. It's slightly sweet and has a cooling feeling in the mouth like peppermint can. That's why it is best to mix it with Stevia.

no but I smelled like an air freshener from glad. So I didn't care for the smell. Vanilla winter mint is awesome if u like mint chocolate chip ice cream. It smells exactly like that. Might have been a bad bottle. Im a chemist and it sounds like the product was breaking down and ingredients were starting to separate.

It tastes like unsweetened Fresca, whichever that may be. Not sure I can discern a difference.

Definitely not flavored. It also doesn't mix well in water for me. I heard someone else say they put it in a spoonful of yogurt to eat it instead, but I haven't tried it yet.

Hi Josh. Its kind of like a graham cracker flavor. I mix mine in a blender bottle. It would be smoother if you used a regular blender, maybe making taste even better. Its not an overwhelming flavor. It took a few sips to get used to, I wasn't sure at first, but I like it a lot now. I hope this helps :)

Fructose is one of the ingredients, I think that makes it sweet. The taste is actually a bit sour, more like a citrus fruit.

No, i don't think it has a very sweet taste. If fact, 'til I read this and checked the label, I didn't even know it was flavored.

There is no list of ingredients on the package. The package only mentions the mint flavor.

No it comes with either peppermint and cherry or cinnamon and cherry, they are very faint though and the peppermint tastes like a small amount of minty floss...i wouldnt recommend this

I'm sorry I don't have an answer for you since this item was a gift to a grandchild and I haven't had any response from him. Guessing, though, I would think you could add your own flavor--like mint, orange, or other special flavors--but in small amounts.

I never really paid attention. I think 5 minutes or so. I usually end up chewing the mint. It has a powerful minty feeling at the end.
