That I get from Costco. I use it in tea, but not coffee. But I am sure it will taste good. It is naturally sweet with no aftertaste.

Artificial sweeteners over time cause toxic buildup in the kidneys and urinary tract. They should be avoided as much as possible.

So glad you asked! Stevia, I find, is nasty and the artificial sweeteners have an aftertaste. Karadeniz Aug 2019 #21

Actually, real sugar, just in a small amount would be the best. PoindexterOglethorpe Aug 2019 #23
