Stevia

Stevia from Nelson's Tea is a natural sweetener sourced from Stevia rebaudiana, a South American evergreen shrub also called Sugar Leaf or Sweet Leaf. The cut and sifted leaves have been used for centuries by the indigenous peoples of Paraguay and Brazil as a plant-based alternative to cane sugar across many beverages.

Our stevia sale offering carries a clean, herbal sweetness without calories or carbohydrates. Stevia leaves can be added to teas, infusions, or other drinks where natural sweetness is needed, making them a practical pantry staple for anyone cutting back on refined sugar.
