Is the flavor artificial or natural? I prefer the taste of the artificial one.

The flavor is artificial, which it states in the listed ingredients. In fact, the scent reminds me of eating strawberry ice cream as a child thirty-some years ago; however, the actual flavor is strawberry with an ever-so-slight hint of antacid. Personally, I don't mind the little bit of chalkiness since I'm getting faster results than when swallowing a pill.

I haven't tasted the non-organic version, I bought it because it is one of the few organic honeys that I could find. I prefer organic whenever possible. It definitely tastes better than other non organic brands.

My husband says that the Regular is stronger than the Original. I like the taste of the Original myself. The Regular is what they drink at work in Saudi Arabia so I've been trying to get some for him at home. Since I have not been able to get the Regular, they keep sending Original when I order, I don't personally know.

Anna, I do Apologize you ordered the wrong flavor. But I stock all my inventory at Prime Amazon and once the order is placed they pull the inventory out of stock and mail it immediately. This is why Amazon is able to deliver this product quickly. Its pretty much automated and probably shipped already.. If amazon did not mail it yet you can cancel the order and reorder the correct flavor you want.. Please let me know if this answered your question.

Well this is a real answer to this question. "natural flavors" is a term used to describe chemicals produced in a lab that are added to products to make the more appealing to you. They may make a product smell better, taste better,etc. They have no other value and should be avoided since they're all proprietary and you will never know what you're getting. Some of these chemicals are derived from shellfish and other stuff that you may well be allergic too. Now this is a real answer and not a comment.

I would give it an A. It really tastes great. You could probably find a better price than what I got it for though.

I just tried mine for the first time. It has no flavor to me. What's so un-palatable about it?

I haven't tried the Natural. However, the vanilla is quite good, very mild taste. I don't notice a stevia taste and as your aware, stevia is not a sugar. You may need to just try them both. I doubt either will offend your taste so much that you'll not be able to consume it. Sorry to not be more helpful.

It's vanilla Bean flavored non artificial. I add vanilla extract to it and a banana to taste. Yum.

The only sugar I see in the ingrediant list is cane juice which is natural. I am sensative to artificial sugar, i can taste it pretty fast and I dont notice any bad weird articial sugars. However the only ingrediant that potentially is concerning for you would be Rebaudioside A since it is one of the components extracted from Stevia, but stevia is a natural low calorie sugar extracted from a plant, not a fake sugar so I am not sure how it would effect you. Hope this helps. Maybe do some research into Rebaudioside A.

I read the label but, as far as I can tell, unless they are leaving something out, no fake sugar ingredients. But, I have to say I taste something, too, like that artificial sweetener taste. I wonder if we call the company, they will tell us.

I know the question is old (over a year), but I wanted to put my 2 cents worth in. I saw this question since I was looking up the product, as I had purchased it and noticed that artificial sweetener aftertaste, to which I am very sensitive to. I can't stand ANY artificial sweeteners... and yes, I can taste it in this product. Once I use the box up, not buying it again.

Who knows. Probably the only way to find out would be to contact the manufacturer. But "artificial flavor" is a large net that encompasses lots of different things. http://science.howstuffworks.com/question391.htm

It is VERY smelly. I actually went back and checked the ingredients for fragrance when I got it. There is nothing artificial but the oils have a strong smell that smells artificial.

They don't tell you, and the regulations are very loose in this area. Anything that has any source in "nature" as opposed to being created in a laboratory -- even if the original substance has since been extensively modified -- can legally be described as natural. So if they took, for example, blueberry extract and then added all sorts of chemicals to it, they could still call it a natural flavor.

The extract is made from the oil in the stevia plant. It is considered natural flavor because nothing is added to artificially alter the taste of the extract. Therefore, the only flavor you have is the sweetness from the stevia.

My review on it is posted, I don't doubt that it is in-authentic, just that the odd aftertaste makes it unuseful for my intended purposes.
