First Harvest Tea Monk Fruit Mogroside V50% Concentrated Powdered Sweetner - 2oz Jar

This is the absolute best pure Monk Sugar I have found. I've tried several other brands, all with no additives but this one leaves all others behind dust. From the first taste, it was clearly superior to other brands. Less of the Monk Fruit needs to be used to achieve a very effective and great tasking sweetener. I cannot speak more highly of this brand and would rcertainly ecommend to anyone seeking a natural sweetener which not only has a wonderful taste, but does not affect one's blood sugar levels. I intend to only purchase this brand from now on as it is light years better than any other pure Monk Sugar extract on the market. While it is pricey, as is all pure Monk Sugar, this brand takes only a tiny amount to produce desired sweetness. I use it in my coffee as well as in protein shakes. As a diabetic, I am so grateful to have found this company and give it my highest recommendation.

I'm not impressed. This is advertised as no bitter aftertaste. Maybe I'm sensitive, but this absolutely tastes bitter to me. Plus, it doesn't sweeten that well. One tiny scoop just doesn't sweeten my coffee much, and imparts that bitter flavor. Also, it's quite hard to dissolve. I tried another reviewer's suggestion of pre-dissolving the substance into water to make drops and I found that even more disappointing. So many drops were needed before I could taste any sweetness at all - and again...bitter. This item is so expensive and I feel I got hosed! I will not repurchase.

This Defiantly has an after taste, but what can you expect, its not real sugar. Great substitute for low carb diets! That being said, I have no idea why the price is SOOOO high. The jar is 1/2 empty, I suppose it condenses.

The aftertaste is awful. Especially noticeable in coffee/tea. It hinders the taste completely.

The product seems to be of decent quality, however, it is significantly less sweet that pure Stevia at >10x price of it. Insanely expensive for the "true" number of servings in it.

UPDATE: Still very happy with this brand. For those that complain about a bitter after taste, it may be because too much of the product was used. If you use too much, you seem to lose some of the sweetness and get the bitter. However if you use the right amount, not too much, no bitterness. I use this for all my sweetening needs, foods, drinks and sweets. Like some others, annoyed that the product now comes in a plastic jar instead of glass- and NO reduction in price. If the company switched to plastic, that should be reflected in the price. Otherwise, I'm still happy with the product.If you are looking to avoid processed sugar and avoid raising blood sugar, monk fruit it great. I initially balked at the price, very ridiculous. I have tried several other "pure" monk fruit (nothing else added) brands, and there were "ok" but not thrilled with them. This brand while more expensive, will last a long time. This brand is "sweeter" than the other monk fruit brands I have tried, so a little goes a long way. When this runs out, I will buy more. I just wish the price was lower.Update: I still love this monk fruit. I am now using it to make my own home made dark chocolate (cacao powder, cocoa butter, vanilla, salt, and monk fruit). If you love dark chocolate, but don't want all the sugar this is great. I have also used it for making other vegan treats. Very happy with my purchase.

This is an excellent Monk fruit sweetener! It is just powdered Monk fruit and nothing else. And, there is no chemical smell like what I started experiencing with the Pure Monk brand. Because it is extra concentrated, I use half as much of what I used to use— which is about 1 1/2 of their tiny spoons in 16 ounces of half coffee and half unsweetened coconut milk. It tastes great which means I can have or make sweet things and still remain on basically a no sugar diet And I don’t cheat! Which is excellent! For baking or cooking, I start off with way less and mix it into the liquid. I make sure it’s thoroughly mixed in before I add the liquid to the rest of the ingredients. Personally I have found that I don’t need to go above 1 1/2 of their tiny spoons for anything I’ve made so far. This has really changed and improved my diet! We make a coconut poundcake, and the Monk fruit sweetener makes up for the sugar I can’t have. I’m going to try making freezer jam soon using the Pomona pectin which does not need sugar. I will use Monk fruit sweetener instead. I expect it to turn out excellent as well! Have fun with this :-)

As per the items instructions and written in other reviews, if you exceed the small spoonful you WILL experience an aftertaste.Granted I like things sweet, and with this product you can only sweeten something to a certain extent. In my opinion...not sweet enough. If you try to make something taste sweeter than the one little spoonful makes it, the end result is a highly undesirable aftertaste.It does not taste good in tea or coffee (even at the recommended amount).It does not dissolve very well.The product's price is exorbitant.
