Norbu - Low Calorie 100% Natural, Monk Fruit Sweetener Tablets (200 Count) Total

I should have returned this earlier. First I thought it just wouldn't dissolve in cold drinks. Now I find, even in coffee it tastes terrible. Their other sugar substitute (although too expensive because of the shipping from AU) tastes great. This is really a disappointment and apparently I waited too long to return it ;(

This is a much better alternative than stevia which tastes like a small science experience. There is a small aftertaste but not much. The sweet it adds is perfect for coffee.

These are highly convenient monk fruit tablets. I am rating them based on them being MONK FRUIT extract. I am not rating them as a sugar substitute, which monk fruit isn't really. It is sweet, but it's nothing like sugar.As is usually the case with monk fruit, the sweetness is highly exaggerated in the ads. Monk fruit can never approach the sweetness level of sugar, no matter how much you use. For example, 1 tablet can sweeten 1 cup of milk very noticeably, while the same amount of table sugar would have no effect at all. You would need much more sugar than 1 tablet of sugar to make 1 cup of milk noticeably sweet. You would need about 1/2 a teaspoon of sugar. However, use 2 tablets of monk fruit extract, and it's hardly any sweeter than 1 tablet. Use 10 tablets, and it's still hardly sweeter than 1 tablet. With sugar, twice as much sugar is twice as sweet, 10 times as much sugar is 10 times as sweet, etc. Unlike sugar, adding more and more monk fruit extract makes the monk fruit flavor much stronger but only increases the sweetness by a little bit. So even though monk fruit extract can sweeten at much smaller concentrations than sugar can, large amounts of sugar can become much sweeter than monk fruit can. This is why you will see some people rate monk fruit extracts very poorly, because they are expecting it to work like sugar, and it simply does not. The sweetening power maxes out at a few tablets. Monk fruit extract will never produce a sugar candy-like sweetness which sugar is capable of even if you used the entire contents of the package, it will still be only slightly sweeter than a few tablets. That's just how monk fruit is.Monk fruit extract is quite different from sugar in it's flavor profile. Monk fruit extract belongs in the same category of sweeteners as brown sugar, maple syrup, and honey, but not highly refined sugars like table sugar, fructose, etc. It's not just sweet, it doesn't just excite sweet sensing taste buds on the tongue, it also excites other taste buds as well. The flavor, I find, is reminiscent of brown sugar and honey, but not exactly.I like the unique molasses-like, or brown sugar-like undertone monk fruit extract has, which a lot of other low calorie sweeteners lack. That makes it very useful for sweetening certain foods which normally would be sweetened with brown sugar, maple syrup, etc.If I want a strong sugar-like level of sweetness, knowing the limits of monk fruit, I will combine it with another sweetener.I usually combine monk fruit sweeteners with stevia, or other similar sweeteners when I want a fuller sweetness. Monk fruit works well with other sweeteners where it will broaden the sweetness level of the other sweetener its combined with. It fills in the sweetness gaps of other sweeteners quite well. When used with stevia, it helps the stevia taste more like sugar, adding a light molasses-like, or brown sugar-like undertone to the stevia, something which stevia very strongly lacks.I enjoy using this product with Stevia In The Raw tablets. I wish someone would make a stevia/monk fruit extract combination tablet. I would buy that if it was available.All-in-all, this is a great product. Very convenient. If you like monk fruit sweeteners, you will like this a lot.

Not nearly as sweet as I expected. I ended up needing at least 10 tablets per cup of coffee. And I don't even like my coffee all that sweet.

Not bad. Small and convienient (the tin fits in my hand). You can tell theres no added sweetner to this. The 2 other kinds of monk fruit I've tried were much sweeter. Solution? Add a touch of sugar to my matcha tea and 2 of these tablets. Yummy!!

i don't tolerate artificial sweeteners very well. I do like a touch of sweetness in my coffee . These tablets provide this without the nasty Stevia aftertaste! Would definitely order again.
