kindkitYou know what needs to go away?
Stevia.
It can still be available for people who actually like it and want to use it. But it shouldn't be in things. In particular, it should not be lurking at the bottom of the ingredient list in otherwise tasty-sounding herbal teas, like the box I nearly bought today. Nor should it be in the Yogi Tea I bought a while ago without reading the ingredients carefully enough; I've decided that the sickly-sweet stevia aftertaste is the main problem with the tea, which would otherwise be okay.
Why don't tea manufacturers think I might want to decide for myself whether I want my tea to be sweet, and if so how sweet, and what kind of sweetener I want to use?
