Stevia

Stevia is a plant that belongs to the chrysanthemum family, which is native to Paraguay and Brazil. It contains no fructose yet is 300 times sweeter than sugar. We add a touch of organic stevia at the end of the natural fermentation process. This adds back a touch of sweetness and balances out the flavours after we naturally brew out all of the sugar from our bevvies. 
 
It's a popular sweetener among diabetics and those on carbohydrate-controlled diets. 

WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT

  • Stevia does not raise blood glucose levels, making it a great option for those with diabetes to enjoy the sweet taste without negative effects of sugar (woop woop!).

  • It provides sweetness without contributing to calorie intake, which may be beneficial for those managing their weight or on a calorie-restricted diet.

  • Unlike sugar, stevia may not contribute to teeth decay, as it doesn’t provide a food source for oral bacteria.
