I was hesitant to try this sweetener because of the price. And it is on the pricey side like most non-sugar sweeteners, but I have to say this one is the best tasting sweetener that we have tried. I use it in my tea and coffee and can once again enjoy the flavor of the drink. We used Stevia products for a long time but it made my tea have such a bitter flavor, but MonkSweet Plus has allowed me to once again enjoy a good cup of hot tea. I was disappointed however that the 5 lb. bag that I received did not have the screw-top opening as was pictured. I was excited about the convenience of that, but the sack I received was the old-fashioned zip-lock bag -- and it will not reseal! So I am very happy with the product, but very unhappy that I did not receive the package that was pictured.
