PureVia All Natural Zero Calorie Sweetener Review

I was very excited to receive a box of PureVia Natural Zero Calorie Sweetener. I usually use Splenda or Demerara Raw sugar. I thought it would be great to find a natural zero calorie sweetener. The first way I tried this PureVia was in my coffee. I am used to Demerara in my coffee. I did not like the PureVia! I could taste it and I found it not sweet enough and with a slight licorice-like taste. The PureVia tasted even worse in my green tea as it added a peppery taste. In the black tea with milk, the peppery taste was less prominent. My husband found that it did not blend as well in his ice tea as Splenda does. He found the taste ok, but still thought Splenda was superior. The last thing we tried it on was our wheat flakes and both of us thought it was tolerable, but no where near as satisfying as real sugar or as good as Splenda. We both like the idea of a natural product as opposed to chemical, but this won't be it for us.
