About
Our Organic Stevia Leaf Powder is made from certified organic stevia leaves grown in India and milled to a fine powder. It is the whole leaf, ground, not a purified extract, so it has a mild natural sweetness with a slight herbal aftertaste. A little goes a long way, and many people use it to sweeten tea, coffee, smoothies and home baking in place of sugar. It is also available in bulk for wholesale customers.
As always, it's advisable to consult with healthcare professionals for personalised guidance on health concerns.

Directions of Use
Stevia leaf powder is a concentrated sweetener, so start small and adjust to taste.
1. Tea or coffee: Stir in about 1/4 teaspoon per cup, then add more if needed.
2. Smoothies and shakes: Blend in a small pinch to 1/4 teaspoon per serve.
3. Drinks such as lemonade: Stir well until dissolved. Start with 1/2 teaspoon for a large jug (about 4 cups) and adjust to taste.
4. Baking: Replace part of the sugar and adjust to taste, as stevia does not add the bulk or browning that sugar does.
5. Storage: Keep in an airtight container to maintain freshness.

Organic Stevia Leaf Powder - FAQs
Common questions about certified organic stevia leaf powder
Certified organic stevia leaf powder from India, milled from the whole leaf and available in 250g, 500g and 1kg, with wholesale supply.
What is stevia leaf powder?
Stevia leaf powder is made by drying and finely milling the leaves of the stevia plant (Stevia rebaudiana). It is the whole leaf in powder form, so it keeps a mild herbal note alongside its sweetness. Our product is 100% certified organic stevia leaf with nothing added.
What does it taste like?
It is sweet with a slight herbal aftertaste. Because it is the whole leaf rather than a purified extract, the flavour is more rounded and earthy. Some people notice the herbal note more in plain drinks and less in baking or strongly flavoured recipes.
How do I use stevia leaf powder?
Use it in small amounts to sweeten tea, coffee, smoothies, drinks and baking. A common starting point is about 1/4 teaspoon per cup of tea or coffee, then adjust to taste. Stir well so it dissolves evenly. See the Directions of Use above for more ideas.
How much stevia leaf powder should I use?
Start with a small amount and build up, as stevia leaf is considerably sweeter than sugar and too much can taste bitter. If you have a health condition, take medication, or are unsure how much suits you, check with a healthcare professional or qualified practitioner.
What is the difference between stevia leaf powder and stevia extract?
Stevia leaf powder is the dried, milled leaf. Stevia extracts are purified from the leaf and are generally much more concentrated and often have a cleaner, less herbal taste. Because the powder is less processed it is usually used in different amounts, so do not swap it one-for-one with an extract. If you would prefer a cut leaf, see our
Stevia Leaf Organic.
Is stevia leaf powder safe? Are there side effects?
Stevia is widely used as a sweetener, but individual responses vary and some people find large amounts bitter or notice digestive upset. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a health condition, or take medication (for example for blood pressure or blood sugar), ask a healthcare professional before using it regularly. Keep away from pets and ask a vet if unsure.
Is this stevia leaf powder certified organic?
Yes. This is a certified organic single-ingredient product, and The Herbal Connection is a certified organic processor and HACCP certified. Certificates are available via our FAQ page.
Where does it come from, and can I buy it in bulk?
Our organic stevia leaf is grown in India. It is available in 250g, 500g and 1kg sizes, and wholesale customers such as naturopaths, health food stores and food manufacturers can contact us about bulk supply.
Is this a stevia plant, seed or liquid sweetener?
No. This is a dried, milled leaf powder for use as a food ingredient. It is not a live plant, seeds, drops or a purified extract.
