I use to take stevia and I wanted to give a try to this. This will be my first and last time. I do not like the taste and I need to use a lot more than stevia to get the sweetness I like. Bad, bad bad

slimsweet tasted ok, but it took about as much as sugar to sweeten coffee.

Melted in my mouth, but couldn't taste anything until it is way to the back of my throat, then strangely sweet. Husband said it tasted metallic, friend said way too sweet. Maybe it is one of those things that vary from person to person.

I highly recommended this product. Everyone I know who tried it found the flavor and sweetness to be pleasant, with no bitter tones or aftertastes. I’ve tried the Slimsweet packets and the Slimsweet powder. I’m not sure why, but the powder tastes much better. The packets I tasted had larger grains and seemed to have a stronger lo han kuo (momordica grosvenori) flavor. The Slimsweet powder seemed to taste sweeter with less lo han kuo flavor. Slimsweet tastes somewhat similar to brown sugar or honey. It has a full body mouth feel, it lingers in the mouth. Usually the recommended 1/5 tsp will sweeten up a cup of coffee well, but going beyond 1/2 tsp increases the flavor of the lo han kuo without increasing the sweetness much. The sweetening power of lo han kuo seems to plateau at a moderate sweetness level and never becomes intense no matter how much you use. However, like brown sugar or honey, the flavor can become intense if far too much is used. If you need a more intense sweetness, I found adding erythritol (a natural low calorie sweetener which tastes almost exactly like sugar) works best. A very high quality stevia extract (like all natural Sooolite!) will also work, but not as well as erythritol.

Great product. I use it in my protein shakes, cereal, tea, etc. Tastes more like brown sugar than white sugar. No after taste.
