Overall the PureVia is not bad. I tasted it first by itself. It is very sweet and had some type of tang or something on my tongue that I can't describe. I then put it in my tea. I did measure it on my spoon first because it seemed very sweet so I didn't think I'd need as much. It turned out the little envelope was just the right amount. I do notice a difference in the taste of my tea and a slight aftertaste. I will probably finish the sample box I received. Not sure if I will buy it - it would depend on the cost.
