Karl, Did you try a few different brands? They do taste different from brand to brand. The one I stay with is incredibly sweet, using more than 3 or 4 drops in a cup of coffee is too much. I also purchased some powdered stevia for baking and such... very herbal tasting, I didn't care for it. Terri L.
