Stevia is an herb known for its sweet flavor. In fact, sometimes stevia is called “sweet leaf.” The sweetness is very strong in the fresh leaf but the leaf does have a bitter edge, noted by Frederick in this Half Pints video. The bitterness has been a problem in the manufactured stevia powder but companies are increasingly finding techniques to maintain the distinct sweetness without that bitter after taste.
